InControl 4.0 added a Depot View, which School Bus Fleet and Charged EVs reported. According to InCharge, Depot View lets users build a virtual parking lot and associate chargers with parking stalls.

So the status of each charger and the readiness of each vehicle can be watched in real time, including state of charge updates and instant notices of errors.

The company also describes an enhanced interface with persistent filters and favorite chargers for ongoing monitoring, load management that aims to lower charging costs while charging as many vehicles as possible within the available power. An open API for integration with existing systems and telematics.

It is used through a browser on any device.

InCharge has pages for dealerships and automakers and for commercial fleets. A MarketScale article describes its portfolio of solutions for different dealership needs.

A post about alternatives to another charging network describes how InControl keeps chargers online, which is the company's framing of the maintenance side.

For a dealership, the software matters when chargers are installed for service, sales inventory or customers, since chargers that are down create service and customer issues. This is a facilities and operations tool rather than dealership sales software.

A dealer principal would ask which charger brands the software supports, how alerts and maintenance are handled and by whom, how load management interacts with the site's electrical service, what data is available to the dealership and what the software costs beyond the hardware. Utilities and incentive programs differ by region.

The category guide for EV charging lists a neutral checklist that applies to both.
