As commercial & industrial (C&I) businesses start to electrify their heavy truck fleets, three problems are holding the transition back: grid connection and route charging that demand coordination most operators aren’t set up for, an infrastructure operational burden most fleets never expected, and a shift into industrial-scale energy management. None of these are vehicle problems alone. Each represents a gap that energy providers, charging specialists, and infrastructure companies are positioned to close. Electrification also opens a door diesel never could: the battery needed to manage depot EV charging demand can also become a cost-saving, and revenue-generating grid asset in its own right.
What’s needed?
C&I operators of trucks need depot and route charging coordinated as one project. Grid upgrades for depots and en-route charging stops planned together, not solved piecemeal.
What’s needed?
C&I operators of trucks need trusted industry partners to own EV charging and energy infrastructure uptime, monitoring and fault response, so their team can stay focused on the business.
What’s needed?
C&I operators of trucks need HV network agreements, metering and energy procurement handled by specialists, not managed in-house by a fleet management team.
What’s the opportunity?
C&I operators of trucks can turn the depot battery required for charging into a cost-saving and revenue-generating grid asset, earning value during hours the fleet isn't charging.
Jump Energy exclusively focuses on supporting C&I businesses manage their transition to electric, which is backed by our extensive depth of knowledge and experience in electrifying truck depots.
We continue to monitor the challenges and opportunities across the industry and tailor solutions to keep businesses one step ahead.

Jump Energy’s Consultation & Design services manage your transition to a HV energy consumer, negotiating network agreements, sizing HV metering, and structuring tariffs for depot-scale charging. Our Energy-as-a-Service team then delivers ongoing distributed energy resource (DER) management, orchestrating and optimising your site’s load and assets in coordination with the grid.
Jump Energy designs and manages your depot battery to do double duty, buffering truck charging demand, and participating in grid services or tariff optimisation when capacity is free. This converts the energy infrastructure you need for EV charging into an additional, ongoing cost saving and/or revenue stream for your business.
Jump Energy’s Consultation & Design service coordinates depot grid connection from day one. We engage network operators early to compress long upgrade timelines, while mapping viable charging stops along your key freight routes. If grid upgrade schedules are lengthy, we plan deployable charging solutions to avoid disruption to your operations. Depot power and route coverage are planned together as one strategy, not two separate problems.
Our EV Charging solutions are built for reliable depot operation, and our Energy-as-a-Service model takes ongoing ownership of it. We monitor infrastructure uptime, responding to faults and managing charging software day to day. Your team never has to become charge point operators; we keep the EV charging and energy assets running, so you can keep your truck fleet moving.
Jump Energy was engaged by Meridian Energy to deliver public EV rapid charging stations, powered by a DC microgrid system. As part of Meridian Energy’s Zero charging network, Jump Energy activated four sites and provides ongoing asset lifecycle management.
Jump Energy was engaged by Waste Management NZ to deliver a fit-for-purpose, high-capacity DC charging solution to support Volvo FM prime mover operations from the Kate Valley Landfill.
