Owners and operators of multi-dwelling units face growing pressure to provide EV charging that is affordable, flexible, and easy to manage—but traditional corded chargers often fall short. A surprising benefit of plug-in chargers is that they are 30–40% smaller than wall-mounted cabled units, making installation simpler and more acceptable to landlords and property managers. This podcast will explore key challenges—such as high upfront costs, limited electrical capacity, and the incompatibility of corded chargers with multiple EV connector types—that make charger selection so difficult for apartment and condo communities. Join us to learn how Socket Based EV chargers can deliver universal compatibility, lower costs, and easier load management, helping multi-dwelling units meet resident demand while preparing for the future of mobility.

Managing a vehicle fleet without real-time insights into location, performance, and driver behavior can lead to inefficiencies, missed deadlines, and rising costs. What many fleet operators don’t realize is that real-time monitoring with connected vehicle systems can reduce unscheduled downtime by an incredible 25–30% through predictive maintenance alone. Yet despite this potential, many fleets struggle with unreliable manual check-ins, difficulty integrating fleet tools with existing CRMs and accounting systems, and increasingly complex regulatory compliance requirements. In this episode, we’ll explore how connected vehicle fleet management services can automate critical data flows, streamline operations, and help companies meet compliance standards while reducing costs and improving safety—giving you the insights you need to future-proof your fleet.
