Electric vehicles demand a level of precision and responsiveness that conventional telematics cannot provide. This is where high-frequency telematics, like GoMetro’s EV-CAN, comes in, transforming fleet management with data-driven, real-time insights essential for optimizing electric fleet operations.
The Need for High-Frequency Data to Capture Critical Events
Unlike traditional telematics, which typically samples data every thirty to sixty seconds, EV-CAN collects data at 1-2 second intervals, capturing a comprehensive and accurate picture of vehicle activity. This high-frequency data is crucial for identifying critical events, such as braking, regenerative braking, acceleration, and energy draw, all of which directly impact battery life and driver efficiency. Conventional systems often miss these events due to low sampling rates, leaving fleet operators with gaps in data and missed opportunities for optimization. With EV-CAN, fleet managers gain immediate insights into each vehicle’s performance, allowing them to understand energy demands, track battery health, and monitor real-time usage patterns—all essential for efficient electric fleet management.

Transparent Driver Scoring and Real-Time Data Access
In the past, fleet managers had to rely on opaque driver scoring algorithms, with limited visibility into how driver performance was measured. EV-CAN changes this by offering transparent scoring that allows operators to see core metrics and understand how driver behavior affects vehicle performance. This transparency fosters better driver training and promotes safer, more efficient driving habits, directly benefiting battery health and extending vehicle life. Furthermore, with EV-CAN’s next-generation data architecture, high-speed data is available to operators as soon as it leaves the vehicle, allowing for immediate access to all CAN bus channels and ensuring support for new OEMs and models.
Reverse Engineering
GoMetro carry out reverse engineering, which is the process of identifying the key data channels provided by the vehicle and updating our software provision to ingest and transmit this. This technique is required when there is a lack of support coming from the vehicle OEM sector. In this situation, reverse engineering is required to map out the data received from the vehicle EV-CAN bus. It is carried out through an “Iterative Process”
Why EV-CAN is the Future of Electric Vehicle Telematics
The demands of electric fleets require a telematics solution specifically designed to handle the complexities of battery management, real-time data access, and driver efficiency. EV-CAN is ten times more responsive than conventional telematics systems, offering the high-frequency data and transparency needed to maintain peak performance in battery-electric commercial vehicles, from buses and coaches to trucks. As electric vehicles become a mainstay in commercial fleets, the limitations of traditional telematics will only become more apparent. Fleet operators need a solution that is purpose-built for electric vehicles—one that provides actionable data for proactive fleet management and sustainable operations. EV-CAN is that solution, leading the way in next-generation telematics and setting a new standard for electric fleet optimization.
