Delivery rounds
Vans return at different times and leave with different route requirements. The plan gives each vehicle the energy its next round needs before using the remaining dwell time.
Van and mixed fleets
Different vehicles.
Different days.
One fleet plan.
TOGL keeps watch over what each vehicle needs next, then looks for lower tariff periods and eligible flexibility around those journeys. The charging plan can change as the working day changes.
Readiness comes first. Savings and flexibility have to fit around the work.
Vans, cars and different duty cycles, coordinated against one depot plan.
The working day sets the plan
Charge for the journey ahead.
A mixed fleet does not arrive, charge or leave as one block. TOGL brings the next departure, required energy, available depot power and tariff together for each vehicle. That creates room to move charging without asking the operation to fit a fixed energy schedule.
One fleet. Individual charging decisions.
The early round cannot wait.
The later start can.
A delivery van leaves before dawn. A service van and company car have longer to charge. TOGL plans around each vehicle, then checks what the fleet can do together.
Different vehicles. Different departures.
Start with the energy each vehicle needs for its next job.

Different energy needs. All charged before departure.
Each vehicle gets the energy it needs in the lower-cost period. The car needs only two hours; the vans need four each. They do not all need to start together.

Illustrative fleet, not live telemetry. Energy targets include a reserve. Assumes constant power delivered to each battery and sufficient site supply; real charging rates vary. Flexibility payments depend on eligibility, the service baseline and verified delivery. This example reduces demand without exporting battery energy.
One depot, several rhythms
Built around the way vehicles are used.
Service calls
Some days are predictable. Others change with the next job. Readiness thresholds and operator overrides keep urgent vehicles available while other charging moves.
Company cars
Cars may stay for an hour or overnight. Where vehicle, charger and departure data are available, TOGL can use each parking window without treating every car alike.
Enough context to make a safe decision
Vehicle needs and depot limits stay visible.
TOGL uses the data that supported vehicles and charge points can provide, alongside the rules your team sets. Coverage depends on the hardware and integrations at each depot, so the first conversation starts with what you already operate.
What informs the plan
State of charge, charger availability, departure times, readiness thresholds, site capacity and tariff periods.
What your team controls
Drivers and operators can flag a changed journey, bring a vehicle forward or override the plan when the day no longer matches the schedule.
Agree the fallback before switching on. Pilot scope includes what happens if data or connectivity is lost, the charging rules held locally and how your team takes control.
What a coordinated plan can change
Make room for the fleet, then use the room well.
- Use lower-cost periodsMove flexible charging into cheaper tariff windows when the next journey allows.
- Share depot powerSequence charging to make better use of the site connection as vehicles come and go.
- Respond when eligibleExplore paid flexibility where market access, hardware and vehicle readiness allow.

FAQ
Questions fleet operators ask
Can TOGL plan charging for vans and cars in the same fleet?
TOGL plans around each vehicle’s energy requirement, available charging time and next departure. A delivery van, service van and company car can need different amounts of energy on the same night. Supported vehicle and charger integrations are checked with you, along with site limits and operating rules.
What if some vehicles charge away from the depot?
TOGL scopes depot, home and public charging separately because access to data and charging controls varies by location and integration. A fleet conversation establishes what can be connected and managed; TOGL does not assume every away-from-depot charge can be controlled.
Can a depot add electric vehicles without upgrading its grid connection?
TOGL models how spreading charging across the available window may let a depot add vehicles without exceeding its confirmed connection limit. In TOGL's 100-vehicle van scenario, unmanaged charging peaks near 700 kW, compared with roughly 250 kW when the same energy is spread overnight. Whether this works at a real depot depends on its vehicles, other site load and charging windows. Illustrative modelling of a 100-vehicle van depot, not measured site data. Actual peaks depend on fleet size, battery capacity, charger ratings, dwell time, and departure schedules.
Will smart charging make vehicles miss their departure?
TOGL puts each vehicle's departure time and energy requirement ahead of cost optimisation. The fleet sets those requirements and keeps a manual override. If the site is physically short of time, charger power or connection capacity, TOGL identifies the expected shortfall; software cannot create missing power.
Where do the savings actually come from?
TOGL models depot value from charging at lower-cost times, reducing the site peak and, in future, taking part in flexibility services. Depot optimisation is being developed and tested. Flexibility market participation is Planned and depends on market access, whether the vehicles and site meet service requirements, and aggregator relationships.
Does a fleet need to change its chargers to use TOGL?
TOGL is designed to work without extra TOGL hardware where suitable chargers and supported integrations are already in place. Contact TOGL to check the vehicles, chargers and charge point management system used at a specific depot.
How long does it take to get started with TOGL?
TOGL starts with a conversation about the depot and what a pilot could test. A vehicle and charger list, departure times, charging windows and the confirmed site limit make that conversation useful. An optional depot assessment can then be scoped with the operator, while deployment timing depends on the integrations needed.
What happens to charging if TOGL is unavailable?
TOGL is designed so charging continues if its optimisation is unavailable. Charging control sits on top of the depot's own equipment rather than replacing it, and the manual path remains available. Fallback behaviour is confirmed for each site during integration and written into the deployment record.
Who earns the revenue when a depot's flexibility is dispatched?
TOGL agrees commercial terms for each deployment with the operator and any energy partner involved. No standard fee or revenue split is published, and no party is promised flexibility income. Any value depends on an agreed route to market, eligible assets, service performance and the applicable contract.
