Planning a charging infrastructure is a structured process that determines the success of electrification.

The key steps are: 1.

**Fleet and Usage Audit:** Analyze daily kilometers driven, parking times (overnight, daytime), and locations (depot, home) to define the specific charging needs for each vehicle.

2.

**Site Assessment:** Conduct an audit of the available electrical power at the depot site.

Is it sufficient, or is a costly upgrade required? 3.

**Hardware Selection:** Choose the type of charging stations (AC/DC) and their number based on the identified needs.

Prioritize smart and interoperable stations.

4.

**Management Software Selection:** Choose a software platform (often integrated with the fleet management software) to monitor station status, manage access, optimize charging sessions, and track costs.

5.

**Work Planning:** Coordinate civil engineering and electrical installation work, anticipating timelines.
