You're adding EV chargers. Your electrical connection wasn't built for them.
The fleet is going electric. The forecourt is getting chargers. The depot needs to charge 50 trucks overnight. The office car park is adding tenant charging.
The problem isn't the chargers. It's what they do to your peak demand.
A single DC fast charger can draw 150kW. Ten trucks charging simultaneously after the evening sort can add 500kW+ to your peak. Your existing electrical connection has a limit. Exceed it and you're either paying massive demand charges, triggering penalties, or facing an infrastructure upgrade that costs hundreds of thousands and takes months.
Most organizations are planning EV rollout and energy management in completely separate conversations. The fleet team picks chargers. The facilities team handles the building. Nobody's looking at the combined load profile. The first month's bill after chargers go live is the wake-up call.
What changes with Wattif
Wattif treats EV charging as part of the whole building's energy problem — not a separate system bolted on.
Every vehicle charged on time. No demand charge surprise.
Wattif knows which vehicles need to be ready by when. It schedules charging across the night, prioritizing by departure time, staying under your demand limit. All 50 trucks are ready by 5am. Your peak demand didn't increase.
Coordinates with everything else in the building.
The sort is running until midnight. The cooling needs to recover after loading. The EV chargers want to start. Wattif sequences all of it so they share the available capacity instead of fighting over it.
Delays the infrastructure upgrade.
Many organizations assume they need a connection upgrade before adding chargers. Wattif often shows they don't — because intelligent scheduling keeps the combined load within existing limits. That's a $200,000–$500,000 upgrade avoided or deferred.
This matters most in logistics depots where fleet electrification is happening at scale, and in retail networks where EV chargers are arriving alongside existing refrigeration and lighting loads.
