Standard Fleet, a developer of electric vehicle management technology, and UP.FIT, an Unplugged Performance company specializing in the customization of Tesla EVs for fleet use, have announced a new partnership aimed at enhancing government electric vehicle (EV) fleet management. This collaboration seeks to combine UP.FIT's expertise in modifying Teslas for specialized use with Standard Fleet's advanced fleet management software to improve operational efficiency and support environmental goals for government entities, including emergency responders and law enforcement.

According to David Hodge, Founder and CEO of Standard Fleet, the collaboration aims to provide police departments with tools for a smoother and more cost-effective fleet management experience. By integrating Standard Fleet's software with UP.FIT's customized Tesla vehicles, the system is designed to enhance operational efficiency while also supporting environmental goals.

James Hedland, Fleet Director at UP.FIT, emphasized that their mission is to simplify the adoption of electric fleets for first responders and fleet operators globally. The combination of Standard Fleet software and UP.FIT's vehicle customizations allows for comprehensive control over access, charging, maintenance, and dispatching of up-fitted EVs. Hedland noted that the partnership offers a proven electric vehicle management system to police departments and other city and county fleet operators, enhancing both performance and operational efficiency.

The partnership addresses a growing need for cost-effective and responsible deployment of EV fleets in public service. By merging the expertise and capabilities of UP.FIT and Standard Fleet, the initiative is poised to redefine fleet management for government entities, enhancing both vehicle functionality and operational oversight.

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

• Improved Operational Efficiency: Standard Fleet’s software streamlines the management of charging, maintenance, and daily operations of EVs, reducing both time and costs for fleet managers.
