E-fleet management for company car fleets

When charging your electric vehicle, you should avoid a few common mistakes to ensure safe and efficient charging. First, don't use extension cables or adapters that aren't specifically designed to charge electric vehicles. This can result in overheating or electrical hazards. Second, you should avoid charging at extreme temperatures as this may affect the battery's performance. Don't charge your electric vehicle with a damaged or frayed charging cable as this could pose a safety risk. Finally, you should never attempt to modify or manipulate your EV's charging system, as this may void the warranty and impair safety. By avoiding these mistakes, you can ensure a smooth and trouble-free charging process.

Battery balancing is the process of balancing the charge level of individual cells in an EV battery pack. This is important because some cells can easily become unbalanced over time due to fluctuations in capacity or usage. If the cells are unbalanced, this can result in reduced overall battery performance and a shorter range.

Battery balancing redistributes charge between cells to ensure that all cells have the same level of charge. This can be done automatically through the vehicle's integrated battery management system or through special charging cycles that are designed to compensate for imbalances.

By balancing the battery regularly, you can maintain optimal performance and extend the overall life of the battery pack. It helps prevent some cells from being overcharged while others are undercharged, which can lead to premature aging and loss of capacity. Battery balancing also ensures that all cells are used efficiently, maximizing available energy and increasing the range of your electric vehicle.

You can order a new charging card. Before you can use your new card, however, it must be activated again. To prevent unauthorized use of the lost charging card, please contact our customer support to have the card blocked. If you have lost your employer's or a leasing company's charging card, sit down with the relevant company and then discuss the next steps.

If required, you can order your charging card free of charge once. As soon as you have received your card, you can store and load it in the chargeOn app.

Yes, the chargeON app and charging card can also be used abroad. You can charge your car at more than 700,000 stations throughout Europe (coverage approx. 90%).

The maximum charging capacity varies depending on the vehicle brand and model. Higher quality models often support higher charging capacities. However, the actual charging capacity can also be influenced by factors such as the charge level of the battery and the ambient temperature.
