The Fleet Efficiency Gap: Why 20% of Charging Sessions Fail
For a professional fleet, every minute a vehicle spends at an ev charging station must be productive. However, real-world data shows a significant reliability gap. According to the J.D. Power 2024 EVX Public Charging Study, nearly 20% of EV charging attempts fail, with software communication errors and authorization hurdles being leading causes.
For fleet managers, these failures translate into “dead-head” miles, missed delivery windows, and administrative chaos. Relying on drivers to manage RFID cards or apps for a fleet of 50+ vehicles is no longer a viable strategy. The industry is moving toward a “Zero-Touch” model to ensure that when a truck is plugged in, it always charges.
High-Level Tech: What is Hubject’s Plug & Charge (ISO 15118)?
The gold standard for seamless fleet operations is Plug & Charge (PnC). This technology, governed by the ISO 15118 international standard, allows an electric vehicle to communicate directly and securely with the ev charger.
Automated Authentication via Hubject
Hubject’s Plug & Charge technology utilizes a sophisticated Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to automate the entire charging process.
1)The “Handshake”: When the charging cable is connected, the vehicle shares a unique encrypted digital certificate with the station.
2)Instant Validation: The station verifies this certificate via Hubject’s V2G Root CA in milliseconds.
3)No Manual Intervention: There is no need for RFID cards, mobile apps, or credit card terminals. The fleet’s central system handles authorization and billing in the background, allowing the driver to focus on their route.

By utilizing our proprietary PLC (Power Line Communication) modules, Injet ensures that the high-frequency digital handshake required for ISO 15118 is stable, secure, and compatible with the next generation of electric trucks, buses, and vans.
The Ultimate Fleet Hardware: Introducing the Injet Ultra Series Spilt EV charging station.
Injet Ultra Spilt EV Charging Stations
While software provides the intelligence, the hardware provides the muscle. For high-capacity fleet depots and transit hubs, the Injet Ultra 800 Series is the definitive ev charging station solution.
Split-System Architecture for Heavy-Duty Scaling
1)Ultra-Fast Power Delivery: Supporting up to 800kW ultra-fast DC charging, it can power up heavy-duty electric trucks in a fraction of the time required by standard units.
2)Flexible Power Distribution: The split-system design allows for multiple dispensers to be connected to a single power bank, optimizing space in crowded fleet depots.
3)Liquid-Cooled Precision: To maintain peak performance during back-to-back charging sessions, the Injet Ultra features advanced cooling technology to prevent thermal throttling.
Why Fleet Owners are Investing in Injet’s PnC Solutions
Transitioning to an ev charging infrastructure supported by Hubject and Injet Ultra provides three immediate business advantages:
1)Elimination of Administrative Overhead: No more tracking physical RFID cards or reconciling manual charging logs; every session is digitally tied to the vehicle’s VIN.
2)Higher Session Success Rates: By removing the “human element” and unstable payment terminals, the session initiation success rate increases toward 99.9%.
3)Future-Proof Compliance: With ISO 15118 becoming a requirement for new fleet grants and regulations (such as AFIR in Europe), Injet’s technology ensures your asset won’t be obsolete in three years.
Conclusion: Secure Your Fleet’s Competitive Edge
n the competitive world of logistics, efficiency is the only currency that matters. By combining the automated intelligence of Hubject’s Plug & Charge with the raw power and reliability of the Injet Ultra, you are building a charging infrastructure that minimizes downtime and maximizes profit.
