How to win the charging game

At Scania, we leave nothing to chance when we play the charging game. Our data-driven insights help us design the best electrification solution for you.

Planning charging for electric trucks doesn’t have to be dry or overly technical. In fact, we took a slightly different approach this time – presenting charging as a strategic game. It’s all about playing your moves right to maximise uptime and minimise cost.

Why charging strategy matters

Charging isn’t just about plugging in. The real challenge is planning when, where and how to charge – without risking running out of power on the road or letting costs spiral.

That’s where real-time data makes all the difference. By analysing the actual routes and energy usage of your fleet, Scania’s experts can simulate different scenarios and tailor a setup that works for your operation today – and tomorrow.

Know your three main moves

To win the charging game, you need to master the three crucial elements of charging:

Depot charging is your home base. It’s predictable, cost-efficient and ideal for slow overnight charging at lower rates.
Destination charging uses downtime at depots or warehouses – charging while unloading, for instance.
Public charging is your emergency move. Great for a top-up, but usually more expensive. Use it wisely – with Scania Charging Access making it easier.
