Fleet Electrification is fast becoming the top priority for many businesses like yours. Are you ready?
Cost-effective charging is of primary concern, as electricity prices remain high and fluctuate, making it difficult for businesses to manage expenses without strategic planning. Additionally, creating enough charging capacity onsite is complex, especially with grid constraints limiting the power available for charging large fleets.
Beyond infrastructure, managing the dynamic energy demands of an electrified fleet presents further challenges. The need to charge vehicles at varying times and rates can disrupt existing commercial processes, creating peaks in demand that strain both the grid and onsite resources.
Charging multiple EVs simultaneously can lead to expensive demand and non commodity charges from energy suppliers. Wattstor’s integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and energy management system, Podium, help avoid these costs through load shifting.
Podium stores excess renewable energy during peak generation times in the BESS for later use when demand is high, reducing reliance on the grid and boosting energy self-sufficiency. By optimising load shifting, Podium minimises energy use during costly peak periods, lowers energy bills, and eases grid strain by scheduling energy use to off-peak hours.
Buying electricity from the grid when it’s cheapest is one step towards energy independence. Generating and using your own renewable energy should be the ultimate goal, as once the onsite energy system is installed, your ongoing electricity needs are taken care of.
Building a big enough renewable energy system to deal with the increased power needs of an EV fleet – on top of your existing operations – is very doable, once you overcome the ubiquitous challenge of grid limitations.
Our advanced DC-coupled solution allows businesses to generate enough electricity onsite to reach net zero, while the BESS and EMS ensures that the site’s import is reduced and export limit is never exceeded.

At Wattstor, we believe that renewable electricity is a business essential, and that a lack of resources shouldn’t stop businesses keen to decarbonise.
Wattstor will design, build, pay for, operate and optimise a complete renewable energy system on your premises – including renewable generation assets, battery and our EMS, Podium.
We will then sell you the electricity it generates and any remaining electricity from the grid through Price Protect – our new renewable energy tariff that combines the flexibility of a variable tariff with the peace of mind of a fixed one.
If your commercial energy bills are too high but you have plenty of roof space, we could help you cut costs and carbon. Tell us more below
