Electric Fleet Management: Successfully Electrifying Your Fleet



The electrification of the fleet is no longer a question of “if,” but of “how.” Charging infrastructure, home charging for employees, vehicle availability, and CO₂ reporting present fleet managers with challenges that traditional fleet management alone can no longer address.

The AZOWO Mobility Cloud is the fleet management software that provides companies with the right tools: real-time data on charge status and vehicle usage, an intelligent booking algorithm for electric vehicles, automated home charging, and CO₂ reporting that makes progress measurable.

Our Customers

With the help of AZOWO, we can organize vehicles based on range and usage profiles and make the appropriate vehicle available for booking by time period and location. This has made the transition easier for us, as it reduces uncertainty and increases the availability of our electric fleet vehicles.

The Right Tools for Your Transition to an Electric Fleet

  • Employees charge their company cars at home, and billing is fully automated. Fleet Plug@Home tracks charging sessions directly using vehicle data: kilowatt-hours charged, electricity prices, and charging times are automatically logged and reimbursed monthly. Calibrated wallbox? Not required. The solution works with existing infrastructure and integrates seamlessly into the AZOWO Mobility Cloud.

  • Efficiently managing electric vehicles in a fleet involves more than just coordinating reservations: range, charge status, and availability must all be correct for every assignment. AZOWO’s vehicle-class-based booking algorithm automatically takes these factors into account. Drivers book via the app or website; the system assigns the appropriate vehicle and ensures optimal utilization of the electric fleet.

  • How is energy consumption trending? Where are the opportunities for savings? And how can CO₂ reductions be demonstrated to stakeholders? The AZOWO Mobility Cloud provides automated reports on utilization, consumption, and total costs of the electric fleet, including detailed CO₂ reports for CSR reporting.

    More Information on Reporting with AZOWO
  • As soon as a vehicle’s charge status changes, it automatically transmits kilowatt-hours, charging duration, and battery level directly to the AZOWO platform via OEM interfaces. This gives fleet managers a clear overview at all times: which vehicles are ready for use, which are currently charging, and where action is needed.

    Here's How the Live Data Is Used
  • Anyone who drives an electric company car must document personal and business trips in a tax-compliant manner. The digital logbook automatically records all trips, reliably distinguishes between types of use, and minimizes the manual effort required for both drivers and fleet management. This is an important component for legally compliant management, especially for growing electric fleets.

    More Information About the Logbook
  • Switching to electric vehicles pays off, but the numbers have to add up. The TCO module compares the total costs of electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles: purchase price, energy costs, maintenance, and resale value—all at a glance. This allows you to make data-driven investment decisions and clearly justify them to management.

Here are the steps you need to follow when transitioning to an electric fleet

  • Piktogramm Zahl 1

    Financial Planning

    High upfront costs pay off in the long run: lower energy and maintenance costs, government incentives, and an improved corporate image offset the investment.

  • Piktogramm Zahl 2

    Charging Infrastructure

    Charging stations, home charging for employees, and optimized charging schedules ensure the availability of electric vehicles while also reducing electricity costs.

  • Piktogramm Zahl 3

    Vehicle Assignment

    Range, charge status, and availability must be correct for every reservation. Intelligent reservation systems ensure optimal utilization without manual effort.

  • Piktogramm Zahl 4

    Training & Orientation

    Drivers and fleet managers need expertise in EV technology, range management, and charging planning. Digital tools make it easier to share this knowledge.

FAQ on Electric Mobility with AZOWO

  • Fleet Plug@Home tracks charging sessions directly using vehicle data—such as kilowatt-hours, charging times, and electricity prices—without the need for a calibrated wallbox. Billing is handled automatically through the AZOWO Mobility Cloud, and employees are reimbursed monthly.

  • The TCO module compares acquisition costs, energy costs, maintenance expenses, and resale value for both drive types. This allows investment decisions to be made based on data and justified in a way that is transparent to internal stakeholders.

  • Yes. The AZOWO Mobility Cloud manages electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles on a single platform. During the transition phase and beyond, both types of vehicles can be managed in parallel, with real-time data and other fleet management functions.

  • Electric fleet management refers to the structured management of a corporate fleet consisting entirely or partially of electric vehicles. Unlike traditional fleet management, this involves additional specific requirements: Battery charge level and range must be taken into account for every vehicle assignment, home charging costs for employees must be automatically billed, and CO₂ savings must be made measurable for sustainability reporting. Electric fleet management integrates these requirements with traditional fleet management processes on a single platform.

  • Software for managing an electric vehicle fleet should do more than just handle vehicle reservations. Key features include real-time data on vehicle charge levels and range, an intelligent booking algorithm that automatically factors this data into vehicle assignments, a solution for billing home charging sessions, and a TCO module that allows for a comparison of the total costs of electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. The AZOWO Mobility Cloud integrates all of these features into a single platform and can also be used for mixed fleets with different powertrain types.
