A whole-system approach
to depot electrification
You can engage us at any stage. Some fleets need the full journey from planning through to ongoing operations. Others have already started and need delivery capacity or operational support for existing sites. We work with you from wherever you are.
Turn duty cycles and grid constraints into a practical, phased roadmap
Every depot electrification programme starts with understanding how your fleet operates day to day. We use telematics data, route patterns, dwell times and shift schedules to size infrastructure around real operational demand rather than theoretical maximums. The result is a right-sized plan that avoids over-specification, phases investment sensibly and gets vehicles charging sooner.
What this covers
- EV transition roadmap for depot, workplace and on-route charging, recognising that fleets must now interact with the energy system, not just buy chargers
- Data-driven sizing of vehicles, chargers and power using telematics, routes and dwell times
- Whole-system design from day one: generation, storage, smart charging and grid capacity treated as one integrated system
- Site and hub selection balancing operational requirements, property constraints and local network capacity
- Commercial and total cost of ownership analysis comparing options: own vs. lease, depot vs. public, PV and storage payback
- Contractor competency review: we assess delivery partners by location, skills and experience, then deploy the right teams for each site and scope
Shared depot infrastructure
We believe shared depot infrastructure should be considered at the earliest design stages. Not every site will be suitable, but where depots serve multiple operators or have spare capacity, designing for shared access from the start avoids costly retrofit later and can significantly improve the commercial case for investment. We assess shared potential, local demand, access arrangements, governance and commercial models as part of the planning stage.
Proactive Distribution Network Operator and grid management
Many fleet operators don’t have the internal resource or relationships to navigate grid applications, capacity assessments and connection timelines. We take a proactive approach to Distribution Network Operator engagement and grid connection management, coordinating with DNOs and Independent Connection Providers to secure the right capacity at the right time. This avoids delays that push back your electrification programme and ensures grid strategy is built into the plan from the outset, not treated as an afterthought.
We offer free initial site assessments with no commitment, so you can understand your options before making any decisions.
Electrification-ready depots,
from grid connection to charging bay
Depot charging is industrial infrastructure delivery. It involves grid upgrades, transformer installations, complex civils, cable routes, electrical rooms and phased construction on sites that can’t stop operating. We deliver the full scope under one contract, with a dedicated Neertec Project Manager accountable for each site from mobilisation through to handover.
What this covers
- End-to-end electrical and civils design: from incoming supply and switchgear through to cabling, layouts and charging bays
- Principal contractor and DNO/ICP interface: we manage grid connections because fleet operators often don’t have the capabilities relationships or time
- Hardware-agnostic charger specification: multi-vendor AC and DC hardware selected for reliability, interoperability and long-term support, with Hellonext as our in-house option alongside quality third-party manufacturers
- Full power range: AC workplace charging, high-current DC CCS for high-power charging and Megawatt Charging Standard-capable charge points for the heaviest duty cycles
- Solar PV and battery storage options engineered as part of the same system, not separate projects
- Modular containerised charging units: movable options for temporary capacity and to demonstrate proposed hardware on your site with your vehicles before permanent build
- Future-proofed infrastructure with spare capacity and clear expansion paths as the fleet and grid evolve, with sharing-ready features, access control, bay zoning, metering and security designed in from the start
- H&S and quality oversight under a single accountable lead partner
How we deliver
We deliver through a robust, onboarded UK supply chain spanning civils, electrical, grid connections and commissioning. Our supply chain partners hold NERS, NICEIC, NRSWA, OZEV and ICP accreditations, with specific partners selected per project based on location and scope. All work is delivered under Neertec project management, giving us the flexibility to scale delivery nationally while retaining the programme control that fleet operators need.
Asset adoption and long-term value
Charging infrastructure represents a significant capital investment and we design with long-term asset value in mind from the outset. One way we help improve the business case is through iDNO adoption, where an Independent Distribution Network Operator adopts the electrical infrastructure at your site.
This can bring meaningful capital back into the project, reducing the overall total cost of ownership and improving the commercial case for investment. Our specification approach considers iDNO eligibility, long-term serviceability, interoperability and upgrade paths alongside day-one performance, ensuring your infrastructure retains its value and creates financial benefit as well as operational capability.
Operations, smart charging
and certainty of charge
The value of depot charging infrastructure is realised in ongoing operations, not at commissioning. We keep the power flowing and your fleet ready, with clear SLAs and proactive management that aligns with your operational requirements.
What this covers
- 24/7 monitoring and fault management: proactive alerts and coordinated field response through Petroassist UK’s field engineers, supplemented by vetted external engineers where scope or geography requires it
- Clear availability SLAs: agreed targets for uptime, response and fix times, because certainty of charge is non-negotiable for fleet operations
- Smart charging as standard: aligning charge windows with energy tariffs, network constraints and vehicle departure times to reduce costs and manage grid impact
- Dynamic load management: intelligently managing site capacity limits across multiple vehicles and chargers, ensuring you get the most from available power without exceeding grid limits
- Whole-system optimisation: coordinating site load with on-site generation and battery storage to reduce cost, manage peaks and lower carbon intensity
- Energy and performance reporting: dashboards covering utilisation, cost per mile and CO₂ savings so you can see the impact and make informed decisions
- Lifecycle management: firmware updates, spares strategy and planned maintenance to minimise unplanned downtime and extend asset life
We measure success in vehicle readiness and availability, not charger numbers.
Connect drivers, data and networks
into one operational view
Depot charging doesn’t exist in isolation. As fleets scale, infrastructure needs to connect with driver behaviour, operational data, energy markets and wider charging networks. We help you build the connections that turn individual depot sites into a coordinated fleet charging operation.
What this covers
- Driver charging management: access control, authentication and reporting so you know who is charging, when and how much it costs
- On-route charging strategy: connecting depot infrastructure with public and destination charging to cover routes where depot range alone isn’t sufficient
- Multi-site coordination: as your fleet electrifies across multiple depots, we help join up infrastructure planning, energy procurement and operational data into a single programme view
- Shared access and monetisation: where appropriate, opening depot infrastructure to other operators to improve utilisation and commercial returns
- Energy and finance partner integration: connecting with leasing companies, energy suppliers and finance providers where these form part of the broader fleet transition
- Data-driven decisions: using operational data to drive maintenance schedules, policy refinement, expansion planning and energy strategy over time
From first site to fleet-wide rollout: one plan, one programme lead, one long-term partnership.

Diesel Out, Electric In
Many fleet depots operate bunkered diesel infrastructure: fuel tanks, pipework, dispensers and associated containment systems. As vehicles transition to electric, this legacy infrastructure needs safe, compliant decommissioning before new charging infrastructure can be installed.
Show More
Through Petroassist, our fuel infrastructure specialists, we manage the complete site transition under a single contract. This includes tank cleaning, degassing and removal; pipework decommissioning; soil assessment and remediation where required; and full regulatory compliance throughout. Once the legacy infrastructure is removed, we design and build your new charging infrastructure on the same site.
This isn’t a capability we bolt on through subcontractors. Petroassist has decades of experience in fuel infrastructure across the UK, with established processes for safe decommissioning and environmental compliance. Combined with our depot charging delivery capability, this gives fleet operators a genuine single-contract route through the full physical transition from diesel to electric.
One team, one contract, one point of accountability for the full depot transition from diesel to electric.

Hardware
Show More
Our range covers the full spectrum of commercial fleet charging: AC workplace chargers for cars and light vans with longer dwell times, high-current DC CCS for depot high-power charging of vans and trucks and Megawatt Charging Standard-capable charge points for the heaviest duty cycles for Heavy Goods Vehicles. Where a fleet is running mixed vehicles across different power requirements, we design a blended hardware approach accordingly.
Through Hellonext, part of the Petrotec Group, we have direct access to competitive AC and DC charging hardware manufactured in-house. This gives us supply chain flexibility, shorter lead times and strong value. Hellonext is one option within our portfolio; where a specific application calls for an alternative manufacturer, we specify and integrate accordingly.
We also design with asset lifecycle and residual values in mind. Charger selection considers long-term serviceability, interoperability, upgrade paths and manufacturer support alongside day-one performance, ensuring your infrastructure retains its worth as technology and fleet requirements evolve.
