Let’s find out how CleanCar works…
Need EV solutions? Well lets find out how cleancar works. Why not find out how CleanCar works and see if an Electric Vehicle would be suitable for you or your fleet? Imagine having an Electric Fleet…
CleanCar is a solution that uses a small plug in GPS device or a Phone app.
Customers use CleanCar’s device or app to record how and when a driver uses their vehicle. This is over a period of a few weeks or a few months. This also depends on requirements and seasonality. We then build up a profile of the driver, which allows us to understand:
if a driver’s vehicle usage is suited to an EV or not.
which vehicle is best suited to this purpose.
The potential cost saving by making the switch.
The ideal charging requirements.
The process is as follows:
Step 1 – Define the Cohort:
CleanCar works with Fleet/Organisations. The system understands which drivers or what groups of drivers are most likely to be suited to the restrictions and benefits of electric vehicles. CleanCar then defines this group and starts a communication plan (outlined above).
Step 2 – Collect Data:
The CleanCar team posts a small GPS device to the drivers. When the drivers receive the device, it is self installed into the 12v Cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle.
Step 3 – Collect Behaviours:
The driver simply goes about their routine as normal. Once the driver uses their vehicle, the GPS position of the vehicle will be recorded. Data from the device is then sent via the mobile network to our big data portal.
Step 4 – Analysis:
Overall, our devices would have a suitable amount of data recorded. This could be anything from 2 weeks to 3 months depending upon requirements. The user is then able to log in to and answer the questions below:
- What Electric Vehicle would suit the user and their needs best?
- Will there be a saving by making the EV switch compared to a new version of their current vehicle?
- What is the ideal location and type of charge point?
Step 5 – Reporting:
A report is provided to a fleet manager or manager of the organisation. The driver will also have a report. Data Protection legislation is compliant and is anonymised where required.
Fine Tuning:
The final step is unique to your Fleet’s requirements and involves a consultative approach, to fine-tune and optimize how you make the switch to EV’s for those suitable drivers/vehicle duty rosters in your fleet.
Areas worth consideration include:
- The optimum way to fund your new vehicles, to maximize tax efficiency.
- Optimum lease/finance terms and mileage breaks
- Bulk purchase/lease discounts
- Mileage reimbursement
- CSR policy compliance and C02 reduction target performance
