EV

Operational visibility into public EV charging.

Public charging is fragmented, opaque and increasingly material to household and operating budgets. Idle treats it as the recurring spending category it has become.

Public charging analysis

Sessions across BP Pulse, InstaVolt, Gridserve, Osprey, Tesla, Shell Recharge, Ionity and others are normalised into a single ledger with cost, duration and energy where available.

Tariff comparison

Per-kWh costs are compared against home tariffs and competing networks at the locations a driver actually uses.

Membership economics

Monthly memberships are evaluated against realised savings. Inactive memberships and sub-threshold subscriptions are flagged.

Van & light fleet

For sole traders and small operators, charging spend is grouped by vehicle and route, separated from personal usage.
