How many electric vans can your depot charge on the connection it already has?
Enter your connection size, your site's own load and how your vans work. The check compares charging every van at full power when it plugs in with smart charging that shares the connection through the night. It runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere unless you choose to send it to us.
Your 40 vans fit on 190 kW with smart charging. Charged on arrival they would need 340 kW, 150 kW over the connection.
Your depot's night with 40 vans
18:30 to 19:00: smart 126 kW of 190 kW, 64 kW spare, each van at 1.7 kW.
Charged on arrival: 340 kW (150 kW over).
Want the real answer for your site?
This check uses one flat load figure and one shift pattern. A DepotTwin study uses your half-hourly meter data, each group of vehicles' shift times and daily energy, and your actual tariff, then adds:
- battery and solar sizing, with the extra vans each one makes room for
- a timed connection profile you can take to your DNO
- the charging cost on your tariff, and a five-year view
- from your charge point session export, what your charging cost and what the same sessions would have cost in the cheapest half hours
Every figure in a study is projected from the data you send, and the report states its method and assumptions.

A planning estimate from the figures you enter, not a DNO connection assessment. Vans are assumed identical and back at the same time; windows use whole half hours inside the dwell; smart charging never takes the site over its connection, and a van it cannot fill is counted as not fitting. Charging losses of 10% are added to each van's energy. Nothing on this page is guaranteed.
