Case Study: Purolator cuts EV peak demand costs by up to 60% with Flipturn

How Purolator lowers EV peak demand costs by up to 60% at electrified terminals with Flipturn

Purolator, a large Canadian courier, planned to scale its electric vehicle fleet but faced a significant challenge with high peak demand costs. These costs spiked when multiple vehicles began charging simultaneously upon returning to their depots each evening. To address this, Purolator partnered with Flipturn and implemented its dynamic power management software for its charging operations.

Flipturn's solution intelligently managed the charging schedule to flatten the power demand curve, drastically reducing peak usage while ensuring all vehicles were charged and ready for morning departure. This resulted in substantial cost savings, including a 60% reduction in peak demand at one site, saving $2,680 per month. Flipturn also provided critical tools for maintaining charger reliability and offered multi-site visibility to manage their national operations effectively.
