The EV Fleet-Centred Local Energy System (EFLES) was an innovative 18-month initiative funded by the UK government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund: Prospering from the Energy Revolution. This project brought together UK Power Networks Services, UPS, Moixa, and CRP in a collaborative effort to advance fleet electrification.

Building on the achievements of CRP’s SEUL project, which successfully deployed smart charging to avoid costly power network upgrades, EFLES focused on unlocking efficiencies, reducing costs, and generating revenue opportunities. At the heart of the project is Moixa’s GridShare platform, which plays a key role in monitoring and forecasting energy demand while optimizing the management of on-site energy assets, including:

The project provided far-reaching impacts, including trialing Moixa’s charging software, installing 10 new chargers at the UPS Camden depot, and paving the way for broader electric vehicle adoption through improved access to rapid chargers. Along the way businesses and individuals were empowered to embrace cleaner and greener mobility solutions.

Philip Heathcote, Head of Markets at UK Power Networks Services:

“We are delighted to continue partnering with UPS and Cross River Partnership to deliver this innovative project with Moxia that will provide further data and insight into how we can get more electric vehicles on the road in the most efficient and cost-effective way.”

Simon Daniel, CEO of Moixa:

“This project shows how with the help of the Artificial Intelligence powered technology, like Moixa’s GridShare, the world’s biggest fleet operators can go electric and achieve their environmental ambitions.”
