BaseFit · Methodology
How we assess whether an operation is ready to electrify.
BaseFit turns route, vehicle and depot data into an operational decision: what can be electrified with margin, what needs changes and what should remain for a later phase.

Input data
The model starts with the operation, not the vehicle brochure.
We do not need a complex integration to start. We work with the information available and make assumptions explicit when data is missing.
Vehicles
- Current vehicle and EV candidates
- Usable battery capacity
- Reference energy consumption
- Payload and relevant constraints
Depot and charging
- Real parking windows
- Number and power of chargers
- Available site power when known
- Infrastructure and operating constraints
Decision engine
From a route to an operational decision.
The goal is not to calculate theoretical range, but to test whether vehicle, route and charging work together with enough margin.
01
Energy demand
We start from reference consumption and route demand. Margins and scenarios represent conditions that are less favourable than the nominal case.
02
Energy actually available
We compare demand with usable battery energy, departure SOC, minimum reserve and the operating margin defined for the fleet.
03
Route–vehicle fit
Each combination is assessed by energy margin and operational constraints. A route that only works in ideal conditions is not treated as a robust decision.
04
Depot fit
Electrification also has to fit the available charging hours, charger power and the capacity of the depot.
Stress scenarios
We are not trying to make it work on a perfect day.
BaseFit can stress the assumptions to identify routes or configurations that are too sensitive before they become CAPEX.
Winter and higher consumption
We test how the margin changes as energy demand increases.
Lower departure SOC
We assess what happens if the vehicle does not start the day at the expected state of charge.
Charger unavailable
Depot capacity can be reassessed with fewer charging points available.
Reduced charging window
We test whether delays or less time at the depot compromise the next departure.
Modelling principles
Visible assumptions, not a black box.
The quality of the result depends on the quality of the data. Where telematics or direct measurements are unavailable, we use explicit references and assumptions, apply operating reserves and flag where uncertainty could change the decision. BaseFit is a decision and planning tool; it does not replace vehicle certification, electrical design or the technical validation of an installer.
Output
The deliverable should help you decide.
The analysis prioritises decisions and operational limits. It is not just a range figure or a generic list of vehicles.
Route map
Which routes fit, which are close to the limit and which should wait.
Compatible vehicles
Which candidates provide enough margin for each operation analysed.
Depot bottlenecks
Where site power, chargers or available windows become limiting.
Viable first phase
A proposal to start with the part of the fleet carrying the lowest operational risk.
Scenarios and sensitivity
What changes when conditions deteriorate and which decisions are more fragile.
Documented assumptions
Which data was used, what was estimated and where better information would reduce uncertainty.
Technical FAQ
What sits behind the analysis
How do you calculate the energy required by a route?
We start from reference vehicle consumption or measured data when available and relate it to the route and the defined margins. The analysis can then be stressed with higher-consumption scenarios to see how much margin remains before a route is considered robust.
Do you use the full battery capacity?
Not necessarily. The analysis distinguishes usable energy from nominal capacity and works with a departure SOC and a minimum reserve. This avoids treating 0–100% of the battery as if it were always an available operating window.
How do you handle cold weather and variability?
Through scenarios and safety factors applied to consumption and available energy. The aim is not to predict one specific day, but to test whether the decision still works when conditions are no longer ideal.
What if I do not have telematics?
We can start with Excel, CSV or a structured sample of routes and schedules. Assumptions are identified so they can later be replaced by measured data when it becomes available.
Does BaseFit also size charging?
It assesses whether the energy required by the vehicles can be delivered within the available charging windows and with the infrastructure considered. A definitive electrical project still requires the corresponding engineering and site study.
