With projections indicating there will be 26.4 million EVs on the road by 2030, and fleets facing increasing pressure to electrify, finding technology that can drive your next steps toward electrification is incredibly important. In our recent webinar, we discussed the state of fleet electrification, and especially the persistent challenge of finding enough charging infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. We also touched on how our SmartPX EV Boost system can support fleets as they navigate the transition and have collected the key ways this particular solution can empower your fleet to reduce emissions and smooth the path toward further electrification.
SmartPX EV Boost addresses two of electrification’s biggest obstacles: Charging infrastructure and range anxiety
As our VP of sales Anjali Deodhar explained during the webinar, EV adoption and overall electrification are both accelerating rapidly. But even as new EVs hit the market and sales continue to grow, worries about max range and charging infrastructure persist. And since an EV you can’t charge is an EV you can’t drive, it’s hard to argue with the concern!
SmartPX EV Boost takes this worry off the table by providing mobile, in-field charging capabilities. This extends the range of EVs, enables them to complete their tasks, and provides an easy solution if a driver ever needs a bit of extra juice to get them where they’re going. It’s the perfect supporting piece for your further electrification efforts. (Electric Vehicles for Fleets | U.S. DOE)
SmartPX EV Boost is modular and configurable so you can tailor its functionality to your specific needs
Every fleet is different, which means every fleet has different charging needs. That’s why the SmartPX EV Boost system is designed for maximum versatility with a modular system that can adapt to the distinctive demands of your fleet. Each Boost module acts as a separate Level 2 EV charger, and can easily be installed together on a trailer. Each module on the trailer is interconnected, so the power draw is distributed efficiently across every EV you’re charging.
SmartPX EV Boost is a flexible multi-purpose solution that can support multiple electrification objectives
Supporting your everyday charging infrastructure with a mobile option like SmartPX Boost is a huge advantage in its own right, but the benefits are even greater thanks to the system’s versatility. In addition to EV charging, SmartPX can be used as a standalone power source for any task that would typically require a diesel generator. Not only does this allow fleets to reduce their idle time, it provides a clean source of energy to power work functions and create a healthier, more pleasant jobsite for your team.

SmartPX EV Boost is a future-proof bridge technology
Using Smart PX Boost can enable fleets to bring more EVs into their fleet sooner than existing charging infrastructure allows. In other words, just like Viatec’s other equipment-plus electrification solutions, Smart PX Boost supports fleets as they work towards emissions targets through affordable, incremental progress.
Smart PX Boost, just like our other technologies, will keep delivering value even after the rest of the world catches up with your electrification progress. Once your fleet has access to robust charging infrastructure, your Smart PX modules can be redeployed to support your operations in other ways. Whether that means powering equipment at work sites or providing auxiliary power, the system can easily flex to meet your evolving needs.

Conclusion
Electrification is an ongoing and unavoidable reality, which gives fleet managers an incredible opportunity to show leadership and innovative thinking within their organizations. As we’ve outlined above, game-changing solutions like Smart PX Boost are a great way to make rapid progress toward institutional goals that might otherwise be out of reach.
