Charging last-mile delivery fleets with DC fast charging solutions deployed in weeks

Last-mile delivery fleets are electrifying rapidly, but expanding EV operations requires reliable, high-power charging at depots and distribution centers, especially during peak delivery seasons when vehicle utilization and charging demand are highest. Lengthy utility upgrades and costly infrastructure installations can delay vehicle deployments and fleet growth.

L-Charge delivers reliable DC fast charging to your depot in weeks, powered by an on-site microgrid. No utility upgrades, no upfront capital, no demand charges.

EV Charging Challenges for Last-Mile Delivery Fleets

Last-mile delivery fleets need reliable, high-power charging to keep vehicles on the road and deliveries on schedule. During peak seasons, increased vehicle utilization and charging demand put even greater pressure on depot operations.

  1. Seasonal demand spikes

    Peak delivery seasons require more vehicles, more charging capacity, and greater operational flexibility. Fixed infrastructure can be costly to scale up and leaves fleets paying for excess capacity during slower periods.

  2. Waiting on the utility

    Grid upgrades can take years, delaying fleet electrification and leaving operators without the power they need to charge vehicles, especially during peak delivery seasons.

  3. Depot buildout costs

    Chargers, construction, trenching, and utility upgrades can require millions in upfront investment, even at sites where permanent infrastructure may only be needed for part of the year.

  4. Reliable, lower-emission power

    Diesel generators can provide temporary power but come with higher emissions, fuel costs, and operational challenges. Fleets need reliable, lower-emission charging solutions that can support daily operations.

  5. Limited sites

    Short-term leases, landlord restrictions, limited grid capacity, and space constraints can make permanent charging infrastructure impractical or impossible.

Charging That Scales with Demand

With L-Charge's charging-as-a-service model, invest in growing your delivery fleet instead of costly permanent infrastructure. Deploy quickly, scale capacity with seasonal demand, and keep deliveries moving.

Uptime Your Operations Can Count On

Engineered for fleets that can’t afford downtime, unlike a basic generator setup.

98%average uptime with built-in resiliency
ReadyBattery storage keeps chargers ready the moment a vehicle arrives
EfficientGenerators cycle less and burn less fuel
ResilientParallel architecture so charging continues if one unit goes offline

The L-Charge Core intelligent power hub coordinates generation, storage and chargers, keeps vehicles charging while generators are serviced, and manages fuel use to hold down your cost per kWh.

Service and Support Built for Fleet Scale

When hundreds of EVs come through your site each day, service and support matter as much as the charging hardware. Our service team provides turnkey operations support, and you choose the level of service that fits your site.

From charger, generator and fuel inspection to vehicle cleaning, repair logistics and staffing for key operations, we take on as much or as little of the daily work as you need, and handle all reporting and safety requirements along the way.
