SHARE & CHARGE
Do both
Share your chargers while your vehicles are out, and charge at partners' depots when they're on the road. One Evata account does both.
Planning the switch?
Your EV transition plan, from your telematics data.
- Use your existing telematics data, with nothing to fit to your vehicles
- See how each vehicle would cope on electric, and which EV would cost least to charge
- Compare diesel with charging at the prices you set, including time lost charging on the road
- Find out what each site needs: how many chargers, the power they would draw and an estimated cost
Busy at night. Idle all day.
Most depot chargers are used overnight. Once your vehicles leave, they sit empty. Share the hours you don't need.
Partners can't book the hours you keep for your own vehicles.
Your site, your rules.
Add your safety instructions and a site video. You can require drivers to confirm them in the Evata app before it lets them book or start a charge.

Common questions
The short answers.
What is shared depot charging?
Shared depot charging lets a business open its depot chargers to other businesses' drivers during the hours its own vehicles don't need them. The host chooses its partners and sets the price. Partner drivers find the site, book a slot and charge in the Evata app, and Evata handles the billing.
Can we share our chargers and charge at other depots?
Yes. One Evata account does both: you host partners at your depot, and your drivers charge at other partners' depots.
Who sees my site?
Only drivers from businesses you've partnered with. They find it in the Evata app.
Do I need new chargers?
No. Evata connects to your existing chargers through the software that runs them.
What do drivers pay?
The price you set.
What about my own vehicles?
Keep the hours they need each day. Partners can't book those hours.
Who handles the billing?
Evata. Businesses get one monthly invoice for their drivers, session by session.
My chargers were grant-funded. Can I share them?
Yes. The Depot Charging Scheme asks that shared, grant-funded chargers are priced to recover costs for at least three years. Talk to us before you set your price.
Just starting out? Start with a plan.
Evata PLAN uses your own vehicle data to show what going electric would mean for your fleet, before you commit to vehicles or chargers.
