How to electrify a depot without rebuilding it

A practical path to layering managed charging over your existing operation — no civil works, no six-figure CapEx, no downtime.

Start with the routes, not the hardware

Electrification is a scheduling problem before it is an equipment problem. Map how your vehicles actually move — dwell times, overnight windows, peak days — and you will usually find the charging can be delivered in the gaps you already have.

FireHorse sizes a deployment against those patterns, so you only pay for the capacity your duty cycle needs.

Layer, don't rebuild

Rather than tearing up the yard for a grid upgrade, a modular FireHorse system is placed on your premises and connected to your vehicles directly. It is leased to your business and run by our technicians, so there is no capital project to fund or manage.

As demand grows, you add or relocate units — the depot never has to be rebuilt.

Keep control with software

Every deployment is coordinated through booking, routing and live telemetry, with SLA-backed uptime and response. You see what is charging, when, and the renewable provenance of every kWh — ready for ESG reporting.
