Depot Charging for Electric Fleets
Depot charging for electric fleets that return to base. OpConnect designs, installs, and supports your charging with American-made hardware and 24/7 support.
When your electric fleet vehicles come back to the same site at the end of every shift, that site is where your fleet runs from. Depot charging puts chargers where your vehicles already park, so charging can be planned around how long they sit, when they need to leave, and how the fleet grows. It’s one of the fleet setups we design, install, support, and maintain.
Depot Charging Built Around Your Return-to-Base Schedule
Planned Around How Long Vehicles Sit
Every depot has a rhythm. Vehicles arrive at different times, stay for different lengths of time, and have different departure times the next morning. Careful planning starts with that schedule, so charging fits the hours each vehicle is parked, often during off-peak hours overnight. Where some vehicles need a quick turnaround between shifts, a hybrid approach adds fast chargers alongside overnight charging.
One Depot, Many Vehicle Types
Charging Within Your Site's Electrical Capacity
Every depot has limits on its electrical infrastructure. Smart charging spreads energy demand across the hours vehicles are parked, and energy management helps keep charging within the available power at your site. That way the depot can charge the fleet it has today while leaving electrical capacity for the rest of the facility.
What OpConnect Brings to Your Depot
Chargers Built in Portland, Oregon
We design and manufacture our Level 2 and DC fast charging equipment in Portland, Oregon, and we support the equipment we build. Our chargers carry 98% hardware uptime, so the vehicles that come back to your depot tonight are ready to head out tomorrow.
One Platform for the Whole Depot
Support That Keeps Depot Hours
Depots don’t run on office hours. Our 24/7 support and monitoring catches charger issues early, and on-site maintenance and repair keeps the depot ready between shifts. If a charger needs attention in the middle of the night, there’s a team on the line.
Room for Future Growth
Most fleets don’t electrify all at once. Fleet electrification often starts with a pilot project and grows from there, so we build depot charging in phases and plan each one with the next in mind. Increasing the number of chargers later doesn’t mean starting the site over.
Your Path to Depot Charging
Map How Your Depot Runs
We start with a site assessment of how your depot operates day to day: when vehicles arrive, how long they stay, when they leave, and where they park in the yard.
Plan the Layout and Phases
Next, we plan where chargers go, which mix of Level 2 and fast charging fits your dwell times, and how the site can grow in phases with your EV fleet.
Install and Test
We install and test the equipment with minimal disruption to the yard, and we train your staff before handover so your first night of depot charging runs smoothly.
Keep Every Charger Online
After launch, we monitor performance, report on energy use, and add charging as your fleet grows, with 24/7 support behind every charger in the depot.
