Demo environment. ACME Industries is a fictional company; every figure is generated by a mock backend for illustration.

Opportunities

Each opportunity is estimated by re-running the same cost model on a changed scenario, for example charging moved to late morning. That keeps every estimate consistent with the numbers on the other pages.

Estimates overlap and are not additive. They are rule-based, not AI-generated. Items marked “Automatable, with approval” could later be executed by the platform, but only within rules you set and after explicit approval.

Replace the diesel vans with electric vans at lease renewal

Both service vans drive more than 3,000 km a month and park at the site overnight. At those distances the lower energy cost outweighs a higher lease.

Estimated effect

€ 508 / month

  • Volkswagen Transporter TDI, lease ends 2027-02€ 1,214 → € 928 / month
  • Ford Transit Custom TDCi, lease ends 2026-11€ 1,101 → € 879 / month
How this was estimated

Compared current van TCO with a comparable electric van: lease + € 95/month, 23 kWh/100 km, 85% charged at the site. Lease quotes still need to be confirmed.

Start office charging at 10:00, not on arrival

Most cars plug in between 07:00 and 09:00 and charge at full power, right when the machines start. Shifting the same sessions to late morning lowers the monthly peak and uses more of your own solar power.

Estimated effect

€ 459 / month

Peak −74 kW

  • Office charging before 10:002,280 kWh
  • Monthly peak today446 kW
  • Monthly peak with smart charging372 kW
How this was estimated

Re-ran the month with every office session starting at 10:00 at the latest, same energy per session. Difference in the site electricity bill, including the capacity charge.

Stagger machine start-up at shift change

Presses, CNC machines and compressors start within the same hour. That short start-up peak sets the capacity charge for the entire month.

Estimated effect

€ 363 / month

Peak −36 kW

  • Peak moment2026-05-22, 07:00
  • Capacity charge this month€ 2,451
  • Peak with staggered start410 kW
How this was estimated

Re-ran the month with the start-up surge at 06:00–08:00 spread out (about half of the extra load removed from the peak hour). Effect comes almost entirely from the capacity charge.

Plug-in hybrids mostly run on fuel

The 4 plug-in hybrids drive only 20% of their kilometres electrically. Charging them at work every day would cut their energy cost substantially.

Estimated effect

€ 361 / month

  • BMW 330e22% electric
  • Volvo XC60 T615% electric
  • Mercedes C 300 e30% electric
  • Audi Q5 TFSI e12% electric
How this was estimated

Raised the electric share of each plug-in hybrid to 50% of its kilometres, charged at the office at this month's average office charging cost (€ 14/100 kWh).

Store midday solar surplus for the evening

On sunny days and weekends the site exports 8,061 kWh a month at low or even negative prices. A battery could shift part of that to the evening shift.

Estimated effect

€ 199 / month

  • Solar exported this month8,061 kWh
  • Could be stored1,811 kWh
  • Self-consumption today83%
How this was estimated

Gross value of a 200 kWh battery: each day, up to 90% of its capacity filled from exported solar, valued at the evening import price minus the injection compensation. Investment and degradation are not included.

Move public charging to the office

3 drivers charge 40–60% of their energy at public stations, at roughly four to five times the cost of charging at your site.

Estimated effect

€ 190 / month

  • Kia EV6 (D.P.)288 kWh public at € 0.66/kWh
  • Hyundai Ioniq 5 (G.S.)318 kWh public at € 0.69/kWh
  • Renault Scenic E-Tech (K.T.)109 kWh public at € 0.64/kWh
How this was estimated

Assumed half of the public charging of these drivers moves to the office chargers, valued at the difference between their average public price and this month's office charging cost.
