Electric Vehicle Fleet Management Software for UK Couriers
Quick Answer: Electric vehicle fleet management software plans range, charging and vehicle downtime for battery vans. Driver compliance still sits underneath it: the person driving the electric van needs the same licence, insurance and right-to-work file as before.
Buying a telematics suite because the van is electric does not retire the driver file. The battery is a new constraint. The licence is the old one.
What changes with electric vans
- Usable range after a full depot charge, not the brochure figure
- Which vehicles are plugged in, and whether they will be ready for the wave
- Home charging, if drivers take vans away, and who pays for the electricity
- Maintenance shifts from oil and brakes-in-the-old-pattern to tyres, 12-volt systems and bodywork
Those are fleet questions. A workshop or telematics product will go deeper on state of charge than Zerity does. We do not claim live charger telemetry.
What does not change
The driver still needs a valid licence, insurance that names the electric van, and a right-to-work check. Those records live in driver compliance software. Start with the driver licence check process you already owe, then add charge planning when the electric vans arrive.
If you are comparing tools, FleetCheck is stronger on vehicle defect history. Zerity is stronger when the same driver must be onboarded and paid. Use both only if you truly need both.
