The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has chosen BetterFleet as its Charge Management System (CMS), supporting its ambition to achieve a carbon net-zero fleet by 2030.
The deployment of BetterFleet’s software will help ensure frontline officers and fleet teams can reliably charge EVs across depots and public networks, while improving operational efficiency and visibility.
It will also enable the prioritisation of critical response vehicles, automated allocation of charging costs to the correct cost centres, and real-time insight into whether vehicles are charging, ready for use, or requiring attention.
MPS operates a fleet of about 5,500 vehicles and is among the largest blue-light fleets in the UK, with around 30% already electric or hybrid.
The organisation is continuing to expand its electrified fleet, with a further 250 electric or hybrid vehicles and motorcycles expected to be added over the coming year.
Built on a secure, SOC 2-compliant architecture, the BetterFleet system already supports large-scale electrified operations across transit and public sector fleets globally, in cities such as Toronto, Boston and Sydney, as well as in the UK.
Vehicles can be authenticated across both depot and public charging networks, with prioritisation rules ensuring operationally critical vehicles are charged first.
Energy usage and charging costs are automatically assigned to the correct vehicles and departments, improving financial transparency and control.
In addition, fleet managers benefit from live visibility of charging activity across the entire network, alongside automated detection and resolution of charging issues.
Daniel Hilson, CEO of BetterFleet said, “We appreciate the confidence Metropolitan Police has placed in BetterFleet, and we are excited to help them deliver high service levels while making their EV operations simpler.
“We continue to be the software of choice for complex, mission-critical EV fleets, where uptime and on-time performance are crucial.”
