For many years, a truck depot was a place to park. You thought about space, access, security, and where to hang the keys. Fuelling these beasts was the easy part: five minutes at any station, anywhere, any time. It rarely shaped a planning decision. That is changing fast. The moment the first electric trucks roll in, the depot becomes an energy site. It suddenly has a grid connection with a hard ceiling, a load profile that spikes when every truck plugs in, and electricity prices that change by the hour (or every 15 minutes). And that changes the operation itself. When, where, and at what price you can charge now decides which truck takes which route, how long trucks need to stay at the depot, and how many trucks you can electrify on the grid connection you already have. With diesel, you planned your routes and then bought fuel. With electric trucks, it’s the other way around. Your charging strategy becomes your fleet strategy. But here’s the part I don't think we talk about enough ☝ The people responsible for all this are usually the same depot managers, planners and procurement teams who, until recently, cared about routes, schedules and vehicles. Nobody gave them a new job title. But they now have a whole new trade to master: energy management. I was reminded of this recently during a longer conversation with a customer about load management. We were discussing how it could help avoid peak tariffs, and it just wasn’t landing. Eventually, I realised the concept of peak tariffs itself was new to him. And why wouldn’t it be? Nobody running a diesel fleet ever had a reason to think about it. That’s a big change. The teams on site need new routines and processes. Planners need new logic. Procurement needs to evaluate concepts they may never have come across before, just to judge whether the investment makes sense at all. That’s part of what Kasper Thybo and I talked about in our recent webinar. As an industry, we’re often so eager to talk about charger features that we skip past the much bigger shift happening on site. In my experience, the fleets that get this right are the ones that treat their depot as an energy asset from day one, and give their people the time and support to grow into their new roles. My bet is that “fleet energy manager” will become a standard job title within a few years. In some companies, it probably already should be 🤷♂️ #ElectricTrucks #DepotCharging #FleetElectrification #EnergyManagement #ChangeManagement
