How did Xylem reduce its charging costs by 26% thanks to Chargemap?

Xylem is a global player in the water sector, present throughout the cycle — from delivery to treatment — with public organizations, private customers and local authorities. Today, Xylem operates in more than 150 countries, and brings together about 22,000 employees.

To reconcile business continuity, TCO controle and climate goals, Xylem has made the decision to accelerate the electrification of its executive vehicles towards 100% electric, while strengthening its charging infrastructure.

Here's how they were able to reduce charging costs by 26% in the first year.

Xylem's needs for fleet electrification

On the electric fleet side, Xylem has defined specific needs:

• Reliable national coverage for employees in urban areas and rural.
• Immediate reduction in costs charging and control of TCO.
• Simple adoption on the drivers side (avoid the “badge jungle”).
• 360° visibility On refills **home /public** to pilot locally.
• Compliance & traceability Of home refunds without heaviness.
• Dispose of reliable refill solutions

The challenges encountered in controlling charging costs

Xylem had to remove several very concrete obstacles:

• Diverse territory, heterogeneous uses : continuity of charge to be guaranteed everywhere.
• Overpriced charging on some networks
• Multiple actors (leasers, installers, networks...) and risk of dispersion.
• Fragmented data : difficult to arbitrate without consolidation home/public.
• Adopting drivers : reassure, simplify, standardize practices.

The challenge: avoid budget overruns, manage by data, and deliver a consistent employee experience across Europe.

“Without an adapted solution, we risked losing control of our TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), falling behind on our CSR commitments, and not being able to support our teams in this structural change.” Fleet Manager, Xylem

Why Chargemap Business?

The criteria that made the difference for Xylem:

• Coverage & reliability : access multi-networks on a national scale.
• Traceable data : one trusted third party throughout the home/public cycle.
• Ongoing support : short points, reactive support, co-construction (e.g. “call for funds”).
• Scalability : wide Terminal compatibility + proven field solutions.‍
• Optimized fleet management: not just another tool, but a full management solution

We didn't want another tool, but a management solution.
That's what we got.
