Few large loads, tight departure windows

A bus depot has fewer vehicles than a van depot but each one is a big load on the same connection, and the first departures come early. The plan puts power where it is needed first.

The situation

A connection that a few buses can fill

Large loads

A handful of vehicles can use most of the connection at once.

Early, tight departures

Departure windows are narrow, so the order in which buses charge decides whether they are ready.

Peaks that are billed

Many grid tariffs bill the busiest quarter hour, and a few large loads set it quickly.

What the plan does

Power to the right bus at the right time

Priorities built in

Power goes first to the vehicles that need it first, with priorities and driver requests in the plan.

Peaks kept down

The same energy is spread across the hours the buses are parked, so the depot does not set a new peak.

A safe fallback

If a reading or a link is lost, charging carries on at a reduced limit until it comes back.

Questions

Does the plan work with the buses I already run?

No specific vehicle or charger brand is needed. We connect through your charge point management system or by API, and use vehicle data where your fleet allows it. Ask us about your setup.

What happens if a bus must leave earlier than planned?

Priorities and driver requests are part of the plan, and it is recalculated every 15 minutes, so the change is picked up in the next plan.
