Built for How Depots Actually Operate
Operational In Weeks
Time lost waiting for grid upgrades is time your competitors are gaining. OptiGrid fleet depot charging infrastructure is designed for rapid deployment — most sites go live in 4–6 weeks, giving you a charging operation that matches the pace of your fleet growth.
No Grid Upgrades
Traditional depot charging requires transformer upgrades, switchgear, and utility coordination that can take 12–24 months. OptiGrid's battery-integrated design runs on 5–66 kW of existing on-site power and delivers 200 kW to your vehicles — no infrastructure overhaul required.
Scales With Your Fleet
Don't over-invest upfront. OptiGrid's modular design lets you add charging capacity incrementally as your depot electrifies more vehicles. And if your depot relocates, the infrastructure moves with you — a critical advantage for leased facilities.
BABA compliant and manufactured in the USA, ensuring quality standards.
EV fleet charging solutions that adapts to your operations
Let your operations dictate the infrastructure. We configure our EV fleet chargers to align perfectly with your depot's layout and daily logistics.
Screen
Configure the hardware strictly for your application. You can choose to integrate full display and payment capabilities or opt for a streamlined unit that omits them entirely.
Cable Length
Match cable lengths to your fleet’s specific parking configuration to ensure easy reach while eliminating clutter and safety hazards.
Branding
Extend your brand presence right into the depot. We allow you to apply your corporate colors and logo to the hardware so every charging point reflects your company identity.
The Real Barriers to Fleet Depot Electrification
Fleet depot operators face a unique set of charging challenges that standard EV infrastructure wasn't designed to solve. OptiGrid was built specifically to address them.
Product Features
Power-Constrained Sites
Many fleet depots — warehouses, distribution centers, port facilities — operate on limited electrical service that can't support traditional DC fast chargers without major upgrades. OptiGrid's onboard 180 kWh battery buffers demand, making high-speed charging possible on circuits that standard chargers would overload.
Tight Depot Layouts
Depot space is valuable. OptiGrid's compact 43" × 40" footprint fits into constrained yard layouts and tight charging corridors without sacrificing charging capacity. The dual-port design charges two vehicles simultaneously from a single unit, maximizing throughput per square foot.
Demand Charge Exposure
Charging multiple vehicles simultaneously creates demand spikes that drive up monthly utility bills. OptiGrid's intelligent energy management dispatches stored battery power during high-demand windows, keeping your demand charges low regardless of how many vehicles are charging.
Multi-Shift Operations
Depots that run 24/7 can't afford charging downtime. OptiGrid's onboard battery charges during off-peak hours and dispatches power on demand, ensuring vehicles are ready at shift change regardless of grid conditions or utility rate windows.
Energy Management
Schedule charging windows to align with off-peak utility rates. Automate charge cycles so every vehicle is fully powered before the next shift begins.
Charger Analytics
Track energy consumption, charging patterns, and vehicle readiness across your depot network. Generate reports to identify inefficiencies and optimize fleet performance.
Remote Diagnostics
Identify and resolve charger issues without dispatching a technician. Over-the-air updates keep every unit running at peak performance with minimal downtime.
Platform Integrations
OCPP-compliant architecture ensures seamless integration with the fleet management and telematics platforms your depot already uses.
Manage Your Entire Depot Charging Network from Anywhere
OptiGrid's Asset Management Platform gives depot managers full visibility and control over every charging unit across every location without a site visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most deployments go live in 4 to 6 weeks from order to first charge. Traditional DC fast charging infrastructure typically requires 12 to 24 months due to utility coordination, transformer upgrades, switchgear installation, and permitting delays.
OptiGrid's battery-integrated design works with your existing on-site power, eliminating the need for heavy grid upgrades and dramatically compressing the installation timeline. A site assessment and electrical review are conducted upfront to confirm compatibility before deployment begins.
Yes. This is one of the key advantages of OptiGrid's modular, battery-integrated design. Unlike traditional charging infrastructure that involves permanent grid connections, transformer pads, and switchgear enclosures, OptiGrid units can be relocated when your depot changes.
The low-impact installation approach means units can be uninstalled, transported, and redeployed at a new site without incurring the full capital cost of a new installation. This flexibility is particularly valuable for fleet operators with multi-site operations or those working out of leased facilities.
OptiGrid addresses two of the biggest cost drivers in fleet charging: demand charges and infrastructure capital costs.
Traditional DC fast chargers draw large amounts of power simultaneously, triggering utility demand charges that can account for 30 to 70 percent of a fleet's monthly electricity bill. OptiGrid's integrated 180 kWh battery buffers these peak draws, allowing vehicles to charge at up to 200 kW while the system draws only 5 to 66 kW from the grid. This keeps demand charges consistently low.
On the infrastructure side, bypassing transformer and switchgear upgrades eliminates costs that can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars per depot site.
Traditional DC fast charging depot buildouts are capital-intensive. A standard installation involving utility upgrades, a new transformer, switchgear, a power cabinet, a dispenser, and civil works can range from $150,000 to $500,000 or more per depot, depending on the size of the grid upgrade required and local utility lead times.
OptiGrid eliminates the grid infrastructure portion of that cost entirely. The system runs on existing on-site power with an integrated battery, which substantially reduces the overall cost of ownership. The avoided demand charges also provide ongoing operational savings throughout the life of the installation. Contact our team for a site-specific cost comparison.

OptiGrid's energy management platform allows fleet managers to schedule charging sessions during off-peak utility hours when electricity rates are at their lowest. The system can be configured to automatically charge the integrated battery bank during low-rate windows overnight and then dispatch that stored energy to vehicles during peak operational hours.
This time-of-use optimization, combined with demand charge buffering, means fleets can charge vehicles at full speed during their operational window without paying peak energy prices or triggering high demand charge events.
Yes. OptiGrid's charging platform is fully OCPP-compliant, which means it integrates with the majority of fleet management, telematics, and energy management platforms already in use by commercial fleet operators.
OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is the industry standard for EV charging communication. It enables plug-and-play compatibility with software stacks including fleet dispatch systems, driver access management tools, and energy monitoring dashboards without requiring any custom development work.
OptiGrid's DC fast charger uses CCS1 connectors, which is the North American standard for commercial electric vehicles including electric yard trucks, last-mile delivery vans, medium-duty work trucks, and electric terminal tractors such as those made by Orange EV.
The dual-port design supports two vehicles simultaneously with intelligent power splitting in 1 kW increments, so each vehicle receives exactly the power it needs. If your fleet includes vehicles with different state-of-charge requirements, the system adapts automatically without any manual configuration.
