Executive Summary A major fleet operator managing a nationwide logistics network faces significant challenges in electrifying its fleet due to high-peak demand charges, grid limitations, and the need for scalable energy solutions. To ensure a smooth transition to fleet charging, DG Matrix proposes a concept , which incorporates six Power Routers for fleet electrification, on-site distributed energy resources (DERs), battery storage, and advanced energy management. 1 By deploying DG Matrix Power Router technology, the fleet operator can optimize power distribution, enhance resiliency, and reduce costs—achieving up to a 40% reduction in installation expenses and 13% in annual energy savings. Challenges The fleet operator faces mounting energy-related challenges, including: Costly Multi-year Infrastructure Upgrades: Deploying EV charging solutions for a fleet depot requires extensive permitting, significant capital investment, and the integration of DERs such as solar and battery storage.

High Peak Demand Charges: The addition of 20 EV chargers (up to 350 kW each) causes sudden spikes in power demand, leading to increased demand charges from utilities. Resiliency Challenges: Power outages can disrupt logistics operations, causing delivery delays and revenue losses. Scalability & Future-Proofing: The depot requires a modular solution that can scale as fleet electrification expands. Sustainability & ESG Commitments: To meet corporate sustainability goals, the fleet operator must integrate renewable energy sources while ensuring energy reliability. Fleet Depot Requirements and Priorities The fleet operator chain outlines several critical priorities for addressing these challenges: Cost Optimization: Reducing both CapEx and OpEx, with a focus on minimizing 1 grid dependency and demand charges. Resiliency: Ensuring uninterrupted fleet operations through backup power solutions and seamless energy management.
