Your fleet charges overnight. Are you paying more than you need to?

Charging on arrival isn't always the smartest option

Vehicles return to the depot. Drivers plug them in. Charging starts immediately. It's a perfectly logical routine, but it can also mean your entire fleet is drawing power when electricity prices are at their highest.

As evening demand peaks, so do energy prices. Your chargers are running at full power, and by morning every vehicle is ready to go. But you've paid more than necessary to get them there. Across a large fleet, those additional energy costs can quickly become significant.

The vehicles still need to be ready on time. That's not negotiable. The question is simply whether they charge at 7 pm or 2 am. That timing difference can have a major impact on operating costs. Smart charging automatically shifts charging sessions to the lowest-cost hours while ensuring vehicles are ready when they're needed, reducing energy costs without disrupting daily operations.

What Price Optimised Charging does

It's straightforward: you define a window, when vehicles need to be ready, and how long each session needs to run. From there, the system takes over. It monitors electricity prices in real time and automatically schedules charging to run during the cheapest intervals within that window.

No manual scheduling. No spreadsheets tracking tariff hours. No one setting an alarm to kick off overnight sessions. It just happens.

• Set a schedule once, it recurs daily without any upkeep
• Assign it across one connector or your entire location
• Override any session instantly via Connect when plans change

Where it makes the biggest difference

The longer the charging window, the greater the opportunity to reduce energy costs. That's why overnight fleet charging is an ideal fit. Whether it's a bus fleet returning at 9 pm and departing at 5 am, or a logistics fleet with predictable schedules, Price Optimised Charging automatically shifts charging to the lowest-cost hours within the available window.

The real value comes at scale. Optimising a single vehicle saves a little. Optimising an entire fleet, every night, throughout the year can translate into significant savings and a measurable improvement to your operating costs.

Vehicles are always ready, that's non-negotiable

It's worth being clear about this: Price Optimised Charging never compromises vehicle availability. The schedule is built around your readiness time. If something changes and a vehicle is needed ahead of schedule, one tap in Connect overrides the session and starts charging immediately.

Cost savings without operational effort. That's the point.

Simple to set up. Easy to leave running

Once configured in Spirii Connect, charging schedules run automatically every day. There's no need to monitor electricity prices, adjust schedules manually, or make daily decisions. Fleet managers benefit from lower charging costs without adding to their workload, making it easy to realise savings day after day.
