How to Manage a Mixed Fleet: EVs, Gas, and Everything In Between

TL;DR

Most fleet management tools are built for one brand. Standard Fleet connects directly to all major car brands via our fleet telematics software, providing a hardware-free, zero-installation solution for managing mixed fleets from a single dashboard. 

- Gas, electric, and hybrid vehicles managed from one place

- Customized solutions for older models

- Efficiency and scalability without compromising

Most fleet management platforms got their start in one corner of the market. For Standard Fleet, that corner was Tesla. We were the first fleet management platform to access the Tesla API, and we're proud of that. 

But fleets don't operate in a single corner. They operate across makes, models, fuel types, and use cases. That's why Standard Fleet now supports all major automakers connecting directly to the car, with no hardware required.

 

Why Does Fleet Telematics Software for Mixed Fleet Management Matter Right Now?

The fleet industry is shifting. With operators building out fleets with electric and gas-powered vehicles and OEMs sharing vehicle data through software integration, hardware-based telematics is becoming outdated. 

Fleet managers have already moved beyond the question of, “Should I go electric or stay with gas?” Now, they are asking, “Can my management tools keep up with a fleet that has a little of everything?”

That’s the gap Standard Fleet fills. 

 

How Does Standard Fleet Deviceless Telematics Support Multiple Vehicle Brands?

Standard Fleet connects directly to the vehicle systems already installed on your fleet vehicles, meaning there’s no need to pull cars off the road to hardwire GPS units or OBD devices. Fleet managers get access to over 1000 unique data points, including live location, trip history, speed data, service alerts, odometer readings, and fuel or charge levels from each connected vehicle in your fleet, all in one place.

What Are the Benefits of Standard Fleet Telematics Software?

Consistent data across all major vehicle brands streamlines your workflow. Access to the same core data points from a single dashboard reduces errors, eliminates operational blindspots, and maintains compliance. Other key benefits include:

  • Mixed-fleet management: It doesn’t matter what’s under the hood - EVs, hybrids, and gas vehicles with a software connection are compatible with deviceless telematics. Our unified dashboard enables the seamless management of software-defined vehicles and even pre-2015 models without built-in modems. 
  • Zero hardware installation: Software-based onboarding skips the hardware step by connecting factory-installed modems to Standard Fleet’s cloud-based API. Fleets save on upfront costs, installation time, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Fast onboarding: Connecting vehicles to fleet telematics software happens in minutes to days. You upload your VINs and provide authorization, and Standard Fleet handles the rest. 

 

What Can Fleet Operators Do With a Multi-OEM Platform From Day One?

Once all your vehicles are connected on a centralized dashboard, decision-making data is right at your fingertips. Along with a single onboarding flow for every model in your fleet and status tracking so you can pinpoint a vehicle in an instant, Standard Fleet’s platform provides:

  • Automated reports: Mileage, speeding, after-hours usage, and idle vehicle data delivered to your inbox on whatever schedule you choose.
  • Geofence alerts: Get location alerts for every vehicle in your fleet, not just the EVs.
  • Maintenance tracking: Rule-based reminders tied to actual odometer readings.
  • Remote commands: Lock, unlock, and start vehicles, or even immobilize vehicles to enforce bill pay. 

 

How Much Does Hardware-Free Fleet Management Software Save?

Standard Fleet connects through software, so there’s no device to purchase, no technician to book, and no hardware to maintain. For small mobility fleet operators, cost savings remove a major barrier to getting off the ground. For corporate fleets, the savings add up even faster. 

Standard Fleet has predictable monthly costs. But beyond your bottom line, hardware free telematics saves on operational overhead, allowing your team to spend less time on set up and more time on delivering a seamless customer experience. 

 

Built for Where the Industry Is Headed

Standard Fleet is a platform that works for every connected vehicle on the road - and with our customized hardware solution, even older models can be managed from the same mixed fleet dashboard. Today, that’s 30+ automakers. Tomorrow, it means even more.
