I'm helping a small business transition their delivery vans to electric, and the fleet management software we've used for years is struggling with the new variables like charging schedules, battery health monitoring, and range-based route optimization. Are there any platforms built from the ground up for EV fleets, or are we stuck trying to patch together add-ons to our existing system?
Yes there are platforms built from the ground up for EV fleets, not just patchwork add ons. ShiftWare markets itself as an EV specific fleet management platform with real time monitoring battery health route optimization and predictive maintenance alerts. citeturn0search0

Standard Fleet EV Management provides real time battery health and smart charging plus automated billing for charging sessions. citeturn0search6
There are several viable paths: a dedicated EV platform like ShiftWare or EV Connect, or EV specific telematics from providers you already use; the market is maturing. citeturn0search0turn0search1
