Services provided by Motorq

EV Driver Reimbursement: Connected EV data means the clients can track every charge down to the kWh, whether it happens overnight at home or during the day at a DC fast charger. Motorq’s charging reimbursement reports make refueling (and saving money) easier than it’s ever been. There are a lot of thoughts out there about charging strategies, but the data is clear: the clients should charge the clients’ vehicles at home if the clients can. It’s more convenient for the clients’ drivers (charge while they sleep), better for the battery (less degradation over time), and better for the clients’ bottom line (up to 75% cheaper than public chargers).

Sustainability is becoming a crucial component of business strategy and a dimension for building a sustainable competitive advantage (get it?). Connected data lets the clients tell the clients’ fleet’s sustainability story loud and proud, backed by metrics such as CO2 emissions avoided that come straight from the vehicles themselves. Every charging event, every trip, and every battery status – the car knows it all. All the company does is take that data, turn it into insights, and give those insights to the clients so the clients can run a leaner, cleaner, EV-powered fleet.

EV Battery Health Check: Meet industry benchmarks. Understand battery performance under various operating conditions, enabling the clients to make data-driven improvements to the clients’ vehicles’ battery technology. Provide transparency and quality to the clients’ consumers for both new and used vehicles. Stand out in the market. Differentiate the clients’ inventory from competitors with reliable and accurate insights on real-world EV battery health. Leave consumers feeling informed by each vehicle’s pre-specified battery health score, empowering shoppers to make confident purchasing decisions. Give used EV shoppers’ confidence. Sell and purchase high-quality vehicles at a fair price. Use empirical EV battery health measurements to influence the marketplace with independent assessments of the vehicle’s battery health compared to its stated health when new.

Fuel EKG: Because fuel represents ~60% of a fleet’s operating budget, fuel card misuse can have a big impact on the bottom line. Accurately identifying fuel misuse when it happens is a must, but curbing it requires more than simple flagging. That’s why the company built Fuel EKG, the next evolution in fleet fuel management. Fuel EKG does two things exceptionally well:

• By combining vehicle data (location, fuel tank level, etc.) with fuel card data, Fuel EKG identifies exceptions with much higher accuracythan approaches that rely on a single data source.
• Fuel EKG exceptions are surfaced in an intuitive, visual UIthat enables proactive conversations with drivers and managers – conversations that reduce the risk of fuel misuse in the first place.
