BetterFleet and InductEV Integration Expected to Accelerate Wireless Charging Deployment in Canada and the U.S.

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA & TORONTO, CANADA, August 6 – The successful completion of OCPP interoperability testing and validation between the BetterFleet™ charge management system and InductEV’s wireless charging solution is expected to provide fleets throughout North America with a proven, advanced solution to enable the transition to zero-emission vehicles. As a result, the two global leaders in fleet electrification will collaborate to further accelerate the deployment of inductive wireless fleet charging in Canada and the U.S.

In deployments in the U.S. and Europe, InductEV’s high-power wireless vehicle charging technology has shown to enhance reliability and performance while reducing the total cost of ownership. It also readily integrates with physical environments and with BetterFleet’s existing charge management solutions, simplifying EV charging infrastructure deployment for fleet operators. Many municipal authorities across the U.S. have already embraced the technology for their bus fleets, including seven of nine transit agencies in Washington State and those in Indianapolis, Kansas City, and on Martha’s Vineyard.

BetterFleet software for fleet transitioning planning and charge management has helped more than 200 complex fleets throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK optimize and manage the transition to electric vehicles, including major fleets in Ontario, New York, Washington, Michigan, Hawaii, and elsewhere. 

“We are thrilled with the successful completion of interoperability testing with BetterFleet,” observed Adam Halsey, Head of Canadian Business Development, InductEV. “This achievement marks a significant step forward in the evolution of fleet charging for North American transit and commercial fleets.”

“As a company dedicated to best-in-class fleet management solutions, our collaboration with InductEV further underscores our commitment to providing innovative and interoperable solutions that help our customers achieve their zero-emission goals,” added Sasha Pejcic, North America Managing Partner at BetterFleet. 

The just-completed testing confirmed communication between the BetterFleet charge management system (CMS) and InductEV wireless chargers through the OCPP standard protocol. This integration enables automated vehicle authorization as they approach the chargers and ensures a smooth and efficient charging process. Additionally, the testing confirmed advanced, smart-charging capabilities that allow for optimal load management on the grid by managing scheduling and control at the wireless charger directly. These innovations enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of fleet operations.  

InductEV’s high-power charging solution allows fleets to charge instantly and autonomously while they’re in-service or in-depot. This proven model offers tremendous operational, economic, and environmental advantages over any other zero-emission system architecture. To date, the company has delivered over 3 GWh of energy to customers across the U.S. and the EU through its wireless charging network – the equivalent of saving 650 metric tons of CO2.
