Energy management for EV fleet depots
RiDERgy plans every charging session on your depot against your fuses, your departure times and the day-ahead price. The fleet is ready on time, the site stays within its limits, and charging costs typically fall by around 20%.
Customer story
HelloFresh's depot charges its electric vans overnight on a limited grid connection. RiDERgy's software-only smart charging does peak shaving to stay within the breaker limit, and shifts charging to the cheapest spot prices, so every van is ready by morning.
“What convinces us most is the combination of technical know-how, innovative strength and a clear understanding of operational requirements.”
Pierre Rudolph
Senior Fleet Manager Logistic DACH, HelloFresh
Because RiDERgy connects to all relevant systems and has the data, it can show the savings before you commit, build the plan, and then control and automate it.
Four ways to manage charging load
AI-powered, learns from your site
Chargers, meters, batteries, solar and vehicle data, through the systems you already run.
Your site and fleet modelled, then replayed on real prices to show what would change.
An AI-powered plan for every charge, against every fuse, price and departure.
Each charge point gets its own limit, sent automatically.
Re-planned every 15 minutes, with a safe fallback if a signal drops.
Power management
Every fuse, from the grid connection down to each strand, stays within its rating.
Peak shaving
Charging is spread out so the site does not set a new peak that the grid tariff bills.
Solar and battery
Spare solar and stored energy go to the vehicles first, planned together with charging.
Energy procurement optimization
Charging follows the price signals that apply to the site, from day-ahead spot prices to dynamic tariffs.
Bidirectional charging Roadmap
Using vehicle batteries as storage is on the roadmap, with compatible vehicles and chargers.
Depot logistics
Vehicles return in the evening and leave at a fixed time. The plan fills every one by departure at the lowest cost.
Bus depots
Few, large loads on one connection and tight departure windows. Power goes first to the vehicles that need it first.
Multi-site parking
Parking lots with mixed vehicles and buildings that share the connection. Planning several sites together is on the roadmap.
While charging an EV fleet is generally more cost-effective than traditional vehicles, electricity prices are highly variable and can reduce total savings. Additionally, exceeding local grid power limits results in additional costs and unavailable vehicles. Without charging optimization and real-time dynamic load management, your new fleet can be nearly as costly as your old one.
While EVs don't pollute the atmosphere with CO2, they aren't truly green if their electricity comes from fossil-fuel power plants. The only way to ensure your EV fleet is genuinely sustainable is by maximizing renewable energy use for charging, which can be challenging to manage for large facilities.
Current energy management solutions often provide basic load management, resulting in inaccurate scheduling and potential blackouts on site, directly affecting your company's operations. These systems struggle as your EV fleet grows, causing significant future challenges without predictive algorithms and advanced energy management.
Managing your EV fleet requires contracts with multiple solution providers to achieve a comprehensive management package, involving costly and time-consuming integrations. With a lack of hardware-agnostic, all-in-one solutions, fleet owners face complex and fragmented management systems.
Learn About Our Unique Solution
We lead in advanced energy management, providing you with a solution to optimize your EV fleet charging. We deal with constrained power availability and minimize costs.
Our predictive algorithms shift charging into the cheapest quarter hours of your dynamic or time-of-use tariff and use on-site solar and batteries where you have them. Fleets typically save around 20% on charging costs, with every vehicle still ready on time, all from one software platform.

By optimizing the charging schedule using your vehicle fleet's mobility data and expected usage, we can charge your vehicles to the exact amount required, ensuring that your EV fleet is ready to go when needed the most.
Learn More ›Power management shares your site's grid connection across all active chargers, uses your own solar first and keeps total draw under the limit, with nobody watching.
Smaller EV fleets usually require basic load management. However, as the fleet size increases and the strain on the local grid grows, more advanced energy management solutions that leverage mobility data are required. Using our predictive energy management software, we optimize all components of your energy system in real-time, ensuring maximum accuracy, minimized blackout risks, and lower costs.
We optimize dynamic tariffs, building load, solar, and stand-alone batteries, providing a complete energy management solution for EV fleets. Furthermore, we use mobility data to regulate charging and extend battery lifetime, reducing the TCO of your new EV vehicles.
We use AI-powered optimization algorithms to predict the perfect charging schedule and energy usage patterns of your facility. By integrating mobility data and using APIs, we seamlessly connect to all your existing systems via the cloud, with no new hardware required.
Dynamic tariffs change regularly throughout the day based on the price of the day-ahead electricity markets. By using mobility data with our energy management software, we schedule vehicle charging when dynamic tariff prices are lowest, resulting in even greater savings potential.
Our electrification configurator analyzes existing fleet data, including mobility data, to create electrification scenarios using currently available EVs, providing you with detailed information on the costs, savings, and environmental benefits of your new EV fleet. You then decide if an EV fleet is worth the investment for your company!
The Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) is funding RiDERgy with EUR 125,000 through its Green Start-up programme, running December 2025 to December 2027, to advance RiDERgy's AI-driven energy management software for commercial EV fleets.
RiDERgy is one of ten startups chosen for the 20th WECONOMY programme by Wissensfabrik, UnternehmerTUM and Handelsblatt. A year of working sessions with C-levels of established German industry companies on sales, partnering and scaling starts now.
Claudio Geyken took part in the Plug and Play China programme in Xiamen, the BRICS Cross Border Innovation Accelerator (21 to 30 May 2026), and came back with one conviction: anyone in energy or mobility needs to understand China.
Claudio Geyken presented RiDERgy on the Startup Open Mic stage at the Charging Night, hosted by UnternehmerTUM Mobility: cloud and MCP based energy, charging and routing management for electric fleets.
RiDERgy has been selected to join the Smart Mobility Accelerator, backed by Drive TLV, mobilityXlab, STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play, and EIT Urban Mobility.
We're proud to have participated in the prestigious TotalEnergies On Batch #4 accelerator, where we'll be working with TotalEnergies to optimize their EV fleet and progress the energy transition in the EU.
AI Campus Founders is an acclerator programme funded by Dieter Schwarz of Schwarz Group. We're proud to be working with Campus Founders to further refine our optimisation algorithms and support Schwarz Group with their electrification.
