The Mobility House and Endera have partnered on a commercial fleet charging solution. Endera makes commercial EVs and charging stations, while The Mobility House’s charging and energy management system, ChargePilot, is designed to optimize charging to ensure vehicle readiness and reduce operating expenses.
The system features wireless connectivity between vehicles and chargers, giving operators visibility into each vehicle’s state of charge. Charging management also allows operators to intelligently schedule charging when energy costs are lowest and avoid peak load charges. The integrated solution is hardwar- agnostic, and offers Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) reporting and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) management.
The companies have already delivered their integrated electric shuttles and smart charging solution to two parking operators—ACE Parking and Aladdin Airport Parking—that serve the San Diego International Airport.
ACE Parking’s electric fleet, which includes 32 Endera shuttle buses, six BTC DC 50 kW chargers and two Proterra DC 60 kW chargers, became operational in February 2022, and averages 5,000 miles driven per day shuttling passengers to and from the San Diego Airport. With The Mobility House’s smart charging and energy management system ChargePilot, ACE Parking expects to save $16,000 a year versus unmanaged charging. Aladdin Airport Parking deployed a fleet of eight Endera shuttles, four BTC 50 kW chargers and two Delta 25 kW DC wallbox chargers in June 2022.
“Commercial transportation is an important segment for reducing carbon emissions on the road, and we see tremendous potential in electrifying the way people get to and from their destinations,” said Endera CEO John Walsh. “The Mobility House is a perfect complement to our fleet services, together offering highly intelligent transportation to customers at the lowest cost of ownership.”
“We are proud to continue expanding our partnership ecosystem in the US with Endera, joining The Mobility House partners like Audi, New Flyer, Nissan and Mercedes Benz,” said The Mobility House US Managing Director Gregor Hintler. “Our projects in San Diego with Endera also mark several milestones for our US team, including our first integration with shuttle EVs, as well as our first Delta charger commissioning.”
