Verizon Connect has released updates to the Reveal fleet management platform. The features are designed to help mobile workforce managers looking to make investment and planning decisions as they consider moving to electric vehicles (EVs) from their gasoline-powered ones. For those customers who have already made the leap to EVs, the new updates to Reveal enable customers to manage their EVs and gas-powered vehicles, as well as monitor uptime by seeing charging and battery status information all from one platform.
Beginning this month, Verizon Connect Reveal customers in the U.S. and Canada will be able to better support various vehicle types – both gasoline-powered and EVs – in one pane of glass. These enhancements will support all Reveal customers including government, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large enterprise customers who have any combination of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles with OBD-II Standard Protocol.
Planning for the implementation of EVs can be evaluated based on data and analytics from the Verizon Connect Reveal fleet management software platform. The team is able to extract data, regarding miles driven, vehicle wear and tear, vehicle tracking and location, utilization and other points. Individuals can also inform a fleet’s EV planning decisions, including the number of EVs included in the first phase of the rollout and future investments, infrastructure plans for charging, EV maintenance, EV storage and yards and more.
“EV adoption rates are continuing to grow and by analyzing data for just one month, business owners can be better informed about the introduction of EVs to their fleets,” said Peter Mitchell, senior vice president and general manager, Verizon Connect. “Once they make the decision, the new enhancements for EV in Reveal will support their evolving mixed-fleet management needs.”
