Monitor the performance of your electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) through MyGeotab.
Schedule a demoAccess EV insightsSupport for the largest set of EV models
We have your entire fleet covered with support for the largest set of EV makes and models available including medium and heavy-duty EVs and buses. Unlike conventional vehicles, EVs do not follow mandatory telematics data standards, making data access a challenge. Working directly with manufacturers, we have developed unique capabilities to access critical EV data, ensuring your EVs will have strong data support today, and in the future as you grow your EV fleet. Operate your EVs with confidence as there are no data gaps in your reporting and your performance questions are answered using the world’s largest EV dataset.

Fuel and EV energy usage report
Review both fuel and EV energy usage. This helps answer questions such as the typical electric range and the performance of fleet EVs compared to fuel vehicles. This report provides insight into battery use — specifically, if it is being maximized and identifying if any of the PHEVs are running solely on gas.
EV charging report
A complete charging history of your EVs/PHEVs shows you when and where the vehicles are charging, the length of time the vehicles were charging at a specific location, and how much of a charge they received. Use this report to get deeper insights into why EVs are at their current percent charge.
Fleet Electrification Resources
Geotab is your partner for your entire electric fleet journey, from adoption to operation. Understand the benefits of fleet electrification, how to start adding EVs to your fleet and learn more about how to effectively manage their operation.
EV Charge Assurance
EV Charge Assurance provides a comprehensive view into the charging status of all your fleet’s electric vehicles. Quickly see at a glance which EVs are ready and charged while also setting up custom notifications to proactively resolve charging issues.
Download on MarketplaceMap functionality
Includes real-time data on battery charge percentage and charging status. Real-time battery charge percentage helps you identify which EVs/PHEVs in your fleet have the most (or least) battery charge so you can dispatch the nearest vehicle with enough battery charge to get the job done. Real-time charging status provides a view of which vehicles are actively being charged at any given time.

Built-in rules and custom notifications designed for successful EV management
- Receive notifications when the battery of a vehicle reaches critical level while on the road and needs to be charged
- Remind drivers when it’s time to plug in and prioritize charging order for fleet EVs based on lowest charge level
- Identify when a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is running on fuel only and not optimizing its electric cost-savings potential
- Establish ‘no-charge time’ rules to eliminate charging during peak electricity rate times and receive notifications when a vehicle is charging during that time
Commonly asked questions
What is an EV fleet?
An EV fleet contains vehicles that run partially or completely on electric battery power. EV fleets can include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Electric vehicles are a more sustainable option compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEs).
For more information on EV fleet technology, download our eBook, The Ultimate Guide to Fleet Electrification.
What is fleet electrification?
Fleet electrification refers to the transition of fleets from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Electrifying a fleet will reduce emissions and fuel costs while increasing operational efficiency. Electric vehicles also allow fleets to operate within government mandated low or zero emission zones.
What is PHEV and EV?
An electric vehicle (EV) refers to any vehicle that is propelled in part or solely by an electric motor. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of EV which is propelled by both a fuel internal combustion engine (ICE) as well as an electric motor. It can be charged by plugging in but also has an internal combustion engine that runs on liquid fuel. This helps to either propel the vehicle or powers the battery as a generator. Fuel supplements the battery as a power source, effectively extending the range. Some PHEV models only use fuel when the battery is depleted.
What are the advantages of having an EV fleet?
There are several advantages to having an EV fleet. These include:
- Regulatory compliance / emission reduction mandates
- Total cost of ownership and improved operational ROI
- Reduction of fuel use
- Lower maintenance costs and increased reliability
- Lower cost of electricity in comparison to fossil fuels
Why is EV performance reporting important?
EV performance reporting is important because it helps create a better picture of how an EV fleet operates. Reports can help track range, state of charge, battery levels, temperature, battery degradation and more.

What are the advantages of Geotab's EV fleet management software?
Unlike traditional vehicles, electric vehicles do not adhere to mandated telematics data standards, making data access difficult. At Geotab, we’ve established unique capabilities to access crucial EV data by working directly with manufacturers to provide your EVs with excellent data support today and in the future as your EV fleet grows. Operate your electric vehicles with confidence, knowing that your reporting contains no data gaps and that your performance queries are answered using the world's largest EV dataset.
What is EV fleet management?
EV fleet management refers to the monitoring of EV fleets. You can use EV fleet management technologies to view, monitor and manage fleet activity, as well as provide help to drivers when needed. At Geotab, our EV charging software can be adapted to your specific needs.

Can Geotab connect to the OEM technology of electric vehicles?
Geotab believes in the future of open platforms, to allow customers to benefit even more from the services it provides. That's why it has developed the OEM data platform, as vehicle manufacturers now fit their latest models with telematics devices. Geotab's OEM platform therefore allows the manufacturer's proprietary device data to be incorporated into MyGeotab, giving consumers access to more comprehensive vehicle status information. To incorporate this data, you simply need to activate the telematics solution and register the device in the MyAdmin section of MyGeotab.
What kind of customer service do you receive with Geotab services?
Customer service is extremely important to Geotab, so we have various different ways in which we support you and answer your questions. You can post or search for your question on the Geotab forum, watch tutorials on the main website, or contact your provider through the MyGeotab help section.
On which electric vehicles can I use Geotab services?
Geotab currently supports more than 260 makes and models of electric vehicles. Check our reference sheet for a complete list of the electric vehicle makes/models supported.
