Sectors / Fleet depots
Fleet & logistics depotsElectrify the fleet without blowing the supply.
Every van or truck you switch to electric adds load to a supply that was sized for a warehouse. We measure what your depot really draws, show how much charging it can take, and then control it so the vehicles are ready and the peaks stay flat.
What we hear most
Supply capacity
Chargers arriving faster than the connection can take them, and upgrade quotes that run to months and five or six figures.
Peak charges
Vehicles plugging in together at shift change, pushing demand into the most expensive time bands.
No clear picture
One bill for the whole depot, with no split between charging, the warehouse, the yard and the offices.
Vehicles not ready
Simple “charge as fast as possible” settings that trip limits or leave vehicles short at the start of the shift.
Measure, plan, install, control
One team from the first reading to the final saving.
- 1
Measure the depot
An Energy Fingerprint: a reader on the incoming supply for 30 days shows your real peaks, your base load and the headroom left for charging.
- 2
Plan the charging
How many chargers the supply can take today, when to charge, and whether a battery or solar avoids or delays a connection upgrade.
- 3
Install
Chargers, batteries and solar installed by our delivery partner GridUnlock, to the costed plan in your Fingerprint.
- 4
Control it
The Identic EMS schedules charging around shift patterns and tariffs, dispatches the battery at peaks and reports savings against your baseline.

How many chargers can our depot take without an upgrade?
It depends on your real peak demand, not the figure on the bill. The Energy Fingerprint measures your load every few seconds for 30 days and shows how much headroom is left at each time of day. Most depots have more room at night than they expect, and less at shift change.
Can a battery avoid a grid connection upgrade?
Sometimes. A battery can cover short charging peaks so the supply limit isn’t exceeded, and charge back up when the depot is quiet. Whether it is cheaper than an upgrade depends on your load profile and your network operator’s quote, which is exactly what the Fingerprint report compares.
Do you work with our existing chargers?
The Identic EMS is hardware-agnostic. It works with chargers that support OCPP through a charge point management system, and with batteries and solar inverters from a range of manufacturers. Tell us what you have and we’ll confirm.
Does ESOS apply to our fleet?
If your organisation qualifies for ESOS, the audit covers your total energy use, including fuel used by your vehicles. Electrifying the fleet moves that energy onto your sites, which is why we plan the two together. Check if you qualify.
