FleetX Power takes over charging, utility rate management, and backup power for your existing fleet — lowering operating costs and keeping every bus route-ready.

Planning your transition

Highland is your partner from day one. We procure, install, and finance your depot, chargers, and buses — then manage the energy for the long haul.

What FleetX Power delivers

Pay less for power

FleetX charges your buses in the lowest-cost hours, on the lowest rate your depot qualifies for.

Reliable backup power

On-site battery storage keeps your depot charging so buses are route-ready every morning.

No upfront costs

Highland procures and installs your EV depot, chargers, and buses. Payments don’t begin until all buses are on-site and operational.

Four energy tools, one platform

Solutions tailored to your vehicles and depots to save up to $7,000 per bus, per year.

Dynamic Charging

FleetX allocates power between chargers in real time to avoid peak capacity charges, while ensuring every vehicle reaches the state-of-charge your schedule requires.

Rate Optimization

We move your depot onto the cheapest tariff it qualifies for and schedule charging into that tariff’s lowest-cost hours.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)

Parked buses send stored energy back to the grid at peak demand and your utility pays for the power. Buses discharge only within the limits you set — every bus stays charged for its route.

Battery Energy Storage (BESS)

The depot battery charges when power is cheap, discharges when it’s expensive, and keeps you running if the grid goes down. Highland installs and maintains it at no cost in eligible states.

How the savings stack up

Reduce utility costs

Dynamic Charging and Rate Optimization run your buses on the lowest rates, in the lowest-cost hours.

Monetize excess power capacity

Vehicle-to-Grid and battery storage sell power to the grid at peak demand, earning revenue.

How it works

A straightforward path from assessment to a fully managed energy platform.

Step 1

Energy assessment

Highland analyzes your energy use, utility rates, charging infrastructure, and site, then shows what each tool is worth at your depot — your numbers, not an industry average.

Step 2

Curated solutions

We build the mix that makes the biggest impact for your fleet: lower costs, backup power, revenue, or all three.

Step 3

FleetX implementation

Vehicles, chargers, and storage come onto one platform, where Highland actively manages and optimizes your energy every day. Buses are ready for their routes every morning.
