EV Exception Rules

Built-In Exception Rules (Feature Preview)

Within the Sustainability section, you will find four built-in rules for your EVs, currently under Feature Preview. To enable Feature Preview, see Fleet Management Application: Enabling Feature Preview.

EV Low Charge

Get notified when an EV becomes at risk of not having sufficient charge to complete routes without stopping to charge, which is a high productivity loss. This rule will trigger when the electric vehicle (EV) battery charge % (State of Charge) drops below the configured value.

Important Information and Tips:

• The specified Battery charge looks at the Engine Measurement Generic state of charge.
• Setting this rule to On via the built-in rule will enable it for all vehicles reporting values for Engine Measurement Generic state of charge, which will include PHEVs, BEVS, and some HEVs. If you have PHEVs and HEVs in your database, we advise that you customize this rule, and use the Publish to groups option to only apply the rule to a subset of the EVs in a Group. See the Product Guide: Publishing Exception Rules for more information.

EV Enters Charging Zone with Low Charge

When an EV returns to a lot/depot with sufficiently low charge, it is time to plug in. This rule is useful for plug-in reminders and identifying which EVs need to be prioritized for charging.

Important Information and Tips:

• This builds on EV Low Charge, and is more specific to plug-in reminders.
• The specified Battery charge looks at the Engine Measurement Generic state of charge.
• Create Zones around areas where your EVs stop and charge. Then assign those Zones to one or more designated Zone Types, and specify them here.
• Setting this rule to On via the built-in rule will enable it for all vehicles reporting values for Engine Measurement Generic state of charge, which will include PHEVs, BEVS, and some HEVs. If you have PHEVs and HEVs in your database, we advise that you customize this rule, and use the Publish to groups option to only apply to a subset of the EVs in a Group, such as to a BEVs group. See the Product Guide: Publishing Exception Rules for more information.
• Have the plug in reminder go directly to the Driver by customizing the rule and choosing to Add driver feedback. See Product Guide: Driver Feedback for more information.

EV Exits Charging Zone with Low Charge

This rule will trigger when EVs exit a charging zone of the specified type(s) while its battery charge is below the configured value. This is useful for identifying EVs that:

• Leave the depot/lot at the start of their day with insufficient charge to complete their routes. This works well for cases when the EVs need a minimum charge to complete their expected route distance.
• Leave a wider geographic safe zone, such that by leaving this larger zone with a low charge, the EV no longer may have sufficient range to return to their regular charging location.

Important Information and Tips:

• This builds on EV Low Charge, and is more specific to notify drivers that they are at risk of not having sufficient charge to complete their routes or make it back to their usual location to charge.
• The specified Battery charge looks at the Engine Measurement Generic state of charge.
• Create Zones around areas where your EVs stop and charge. Then assign those Zones to one or more designated Zone Types, and specify them here.
• Setting this to On via the built-in rule will enable it for all vehicles reporting values for Engine Measurement Generic state of charge, which will include PHEVs, BEVS, and some HEVs. If you have PHEVs and HEVs in your database, we advise that you customize this rule, and use the Publish to groups option to only apply to a subset of your EVs in a Group, such as to a BEVs group. See the Product Guide: Publishing Exception Rules for more information.
• Have the driver be alerted by customizing the rule and choosing to Add driver feedback. See Product Guide: Driver Feedback for more information.

EV Done Charging



This rule will trigger when the EV battery is charged to the configured value. This is useful to indicate when the EV’s charging plug can be provided to another EV, or when it is important to know when the EV is ready for use.

Important Information and Tips:

• The specified Battery charge looks at the Engine Measurement Generic state of charge. Change from the default 100% value should you have your EVs configured to end charging lower than 100%.

Custom Exception Rules: Using EV Data Diagnostics

With EV data diagnostics, Exception Rules offer support for additional event-based notifications and reporting, outside of those built-in rules. The following are a few to get you started!

✱ NOTE: For more on Exceptions, visit the section titled Exceptions in the Product Guide.

Fuel and EV Energy Usage Report

The Fuel and EV Energy Usage Report displays driving energy consumption from both fuel and electric energy sources. Driving energy consumption includes both propulsion and auxiliary, such as heating and cooling. Both fuel and electric energy usage are combined in this report to handle Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), which consume both fuel and electric energy.

EV Specific Questions Answered

Key Questions	Answers
Performance How are my EVs performing? What electric range am I typically getting? Is it close to the promised range? How are my EVs performing in comparison to my fuel cars?	Electric Energy Economy — Reports on performance for BEVs. Total Fuel and Electric Energy Economy — Reports on efficiency for PHEVs, and provides a comparable value in a mixed fleet.
Maximizing Use of PHEV Battery Are we maximizing the battery use? Are these just running on gas?	% Electric Energy of Total — Filtering on just PHEVs.

Report Fields — EV Specific Meanings

Below is a simplified list of EV-relevant fields in this report.

Field	Description
Distance	Total distance travelled on all energy sources.
Electric Energy Used	Total electric energy used, expressed in either kilowatt hour (kWh) or watt hour (Wh). Wh is used when Electric Energy Economy Measurement unit is set to Wh/km or Wh/mile; otherwise kWh is used. NOTE: Energy added to the battery from all non-charging sources — regenerative braking, driving down a hill, fuel engine charging in a hybrid — is subtracted from Electric Energy Used. If energy is added to the battery faster than it is consumed, the value will be negative.
Fuel Economy	This is displayed when the vehicle travels exclusively on fuel (electric energy used = 0); otherwise the field remains blank.
Electric Energy Economy	This is displayed when the vehicle travels exclusively on electric energy (fuel used = 0); otherwise the field remains blank. It is a primary indicator of vehicle electric energy efficiency and performance. NOTE: See Electric Energy Economy Measurement to change the measurement unit. Similar to Electric Energy Used, if energy is added to the battery faster than it is consumed, the value will be negative.
Total Fuel and Electric Energy Economy	This is a single comparable value across all your vehicles and displayed for every vehicle. If electric energy is used, it is converted to the equivalent in fuel. This converted value is then added to the Fuel Used to calculate this combined Economy value. If electric energy is not used, this value is the same as Fuel Economy. Units = The equivalent of the selected fuel economy measurement. To learn how we convert electric energy to fuel, please refer to the note below. NOTE: Similar to Electric Energy Used, if energy is added to the battery faster than it is consumed, the value will be negative.
% Electric Energy of Total	Calculation of electric energy used (%), based on all electric and fuel energy usage. To learn how we convert electric energy to fuel, please refer to the note below. NOTE: When Electric Energy Used is negative, this value may exceed 100%.

How do we convert electric energy to the equivalent in fuel?

Both electricity and fuel are forms of energy. This report performs a conversion of electric energy to the equivalent in fuel to calculate the Total Fuel and Electric Energy Economy, and the % of Electric Energy of Total. For Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), the equivalent in gasoline fuel is converted. For PHEV, the units convert to the same fuel type that’s used by the vehicle when the fuel type is reliably available.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) have adopted the standard conversion and states that 1 US Gallon of Gasoline is equivalent to 33.7 kWh of electric energy (src). Additionally, the United States Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center defines 1 US Gallon of Diesel as having 113% of the energy of 1 US Gallon of Gasoline (src).

Using these baseline conversions, including standard volume conversions to Liters and Imperial Gallons, we can convert electric energy to the equivalent in fuel.

Electric Energy Economy Measurement

Similar to Fuel Economy Measurement, the Electric Energy Economy Measurement allows users to display measurements in the desired units.

To change the measurement unit, follow the steps below:

1	In the Fleet Management Application, click the user name in the top right corner of the screen and select Options.
2	Under the Main Settings tab, choose the desired measurement unit located next to Electric Energy Economy Measurement.
3	Click Save.

✱ NOTE: The “-e” attached to L and MPG indicates that the unit converts electric energy to the equivalent in either liters or gallons of fuel. For BEVs, electric energy is converted into the equivalent in gasoline. For PHEVs, electric energy is converted into the same fuel type used by the vehicle — detected by the Telematics Device. The conversion requires the Telematics Device to accurately detect the fuel type; otherwise, the electric energy is converted to the fuel equivalent in gasoline.

Electric Energy Economy Measurement: Metric
Unit	Description
L-e/100 km	The best choice for a primarily non-EV fleet when the preferred fuel economy measurement is L/100 km. NOTE: This converts electric energy into the fuel equivalent (in litres) to present a value in familiar units. For BEVs, electric energy is converted into the equivalent in gasoline. For PHEVs, electric energy is converted into the same fuel type used by the vehicle — detected by the Telematics Device. The conversion requires the Telematics Device to accurately detect the fuel type; otherwise, the electric energy is converted to the fuel equivalent in gasoline. See the note above to learn how the conversion is done.
km/L-e	The best choice for a primarily non-EV fleet when the preferred fuel economy measurement is km/L. NOTE: This converts electric energy into the fuel equivalent (in litres) to present a value in familiar units. For BEVs, electric energy is converted into the equivalent in gasoline. For PHEVs, electric energy is converted into the same fuel type used by the vehicle — detected by the Telematics Device. The conversion requires the Telematics Device to accurately detect the fuel type; otherwise, the electric energy is converted to the fuel equivalent in gasoline. See the note above to learn how the conversion is done.
kWh/100 km Wh/km	For a primarily EV fleet, this helps you understand how much energy is used / needed for a specified distance.
km/kWh	For a primarily EV fleet, this helps you understand how much distance you can cover based on the battery energy — measured in kWh.
Electric Energy Economy Measurement: US/Imperial
Unit	Description
MPG-e (US) MPG-e (Imp)	The best choice for a primarily non-EV fleet when the preferred fuel economy measurement is MPG. NOTE: This converts electric energy into gallons equivalent of fuel to present a value in familiar units. For BEVs, electric energy is converted into the equivalent in gasoline. For PHEVs, electric energy is converted into the same fuel type used by the vehicle — detected by the Telematics Device. The conversion requires the Telematics Device to accurately detect the fuel type; otherwise, the electric energy is converted to the fuel equivalent in gasoline. See the note above to learn how the conversion is done.
kWh/100 miles Wh/mile	For a primarily EV fleet, this helps you understand how much energy is used / needed for a specified distance.
mile/kWh	For a primarily EV fleet, this helps you understand how much distance you can cover based on the battery energy — measured in kWh.

✱ NOTE: Electric Energy Economy is currently based on distance. In some cases, EVs operate in a stationary position for long periods of time, and idle. In these cases, it’s better to calculate Electric Energy Economy over time rather than distance, such as kWh/hour. Use the Electric Energy Used value and report time period to calculate this value.

EV Charging Report

The EV Charging Beta Report is the EV equivalent of the Fill-Ups Report used for fuel. This report provides information about the electric power and energy consumed when vehicles plug in to charge.

✱ NOTE: What’s the difference between electric power and electric energy? Power, expressed in kilowatts (kW) or watts (W), is the rate at which electric energy is transferred into the vehicle for charging. The lower the power value, the longer the vehicle takes to charge. Energy, expressed in kilowatt hours (kWh) or watt hours (Wh), is the total volume of power transferred or used over an hour.

Report Fields

! IMPORTANT: The report fields are populated differently for the following sections in the List, Report, and Advanced report views: start and end dates, duration, and the start and end battery charge %.

Charge Event — Report Tab of Report & Advanced

A Charge Event is recorded from when charging starts (power > 0 W) to when it stops (power = 0 W). During a single stop, there may be multiple Charge Events, if a managed charging, power sharing technology, or manual plug sharing is employed. In this report, each row of data corresponds to a single Charge Event.

Charge Session — List and Summary Tab of Report & Advanced

A Charge Session groups all Charge Events that occur during a single stop. In this report, each row of data corresponds to a single Charge Session. This is intended as a more readable format — especially when managed charging, power sharing or plug sharing is employed.

Field	Description
Start Date	In the Report and Advanced report Report tab, this is the date and start time of the Charge event. In the List, and Report & Advanced Summary tab, this is the date and start time of the Charge Session — the start of the first charge event during a single stop.
End Date	In the Report and Advanced report Report tab, this is the date and end time of the Charge Event. In the List, and Report & Advanced Summary tab, this is the date and end time of the Charge Session — the end of last charge event during a single stop.
Location	The street address of the charging location. When Privacy Mode is applied, this will be blank.
Zones	If the location is within one or more Zones, the names of the Zones are displayed. When Privacy Mode is applied, this will be blank.
Zone Types	If any Zone has one or more Types, the name of each Zone Type is displayed. When Privacy Mode is applied, this will be blank.
Start Charge %	In the Report and Advanced report Report tab, this is the battery charge % remaining at the start of the Charge Event. In the List, and Report & Advanced Summary tab, this is the battery charge % remaining at the start of the Charge Session — the start of the first charge event during a single stop.
End Charge %	In the Report and Advanced report Report tab, this is the battery charge % remaining at the end of the Charge Event. In the List, and Report & Advanced Summary tab, this is the battery charge % remaining at the end of the Charge Session — the end of the last charge event during a single stop.
Energy Added	The total electric energy added, expressed in either kilowatt hour (kWh) or watt hour (Wh). Wh is used when Electric Energy Economy Measurement unit is chosen as Wh/km or Wh/mile; otherwise kWh is used.
Max Power	During a Charge Event or Charge Session, the power typically fluctuates. The maximum value is the best indicator of the sustained power found throughout. The maximum value is also the best indicator of the EV contribution to additional billing charges resulting from excessive power demand, and for being aware of the capacity requirements for EV charging. Wh is used when Electric Energy Economy Measurement unit is chosen as Wh/km or Wh/mile; otherwise kWh is used.
Current	This is either AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current). If you want both at once, check out the band by that name, AC/DC.
AC Voltage	The Alternating Current voltage.
Electric Energy Economy	The equivalent concept to Fuel Economy in the Fill-Ups Report. This is the amount of energy consumed over the total distance traveled since the end of the previous Charge Event / Charge Session to this one. See Electric Energy Economy Measurement to change the measurement unit. This is not populated for PHEVs if fuel was consumed within the report’s time period.

✱ NOTE: For those in North America who want to display charging as SAE Level 1 (120 V AC), SAE Level 2 (~240 V AC), or SAE Level 3 (DC), use the Current and AC Voltage values to extend the report.
