SAN DIEGO, CA — Kitu Systems has officially deployed its Expedition Charge Management System (CMS), powering a network of FractalEV 80-amp Level 2 chargers at the headquarters of a major West Coast utility. The project, which has been live since December 2025, addresses surging employee EV adoption and demonstrates a scalable blueprint for workplace electrification for companies managing millions of energy consumers.
“Companies are recognizing that workplace charging is essential infrastructure for supporting employees and electrifying their fleets,” says Thomas Barbour, Kitu Chief Commercial Officer. “We’re proud to deliver a solution that makes EV adoption practical for working families.“
FractalEV 80-Amp + Expedition CMS Technical Specs
The deployment combines high-capacity hardware with enterprise-grade management to ensure that workplace charging is as efficient as possible.
Workplace Charging Capabilities:
- 80-amp Level 2 Stations: Enables full commute recovery during standard 8-hour shifts, significantly faster than typical 32 or 40-amp residential chargers.
- Real-time Load Balancing: Intelligent software prevents building panel overloads by distributing power dynamically across the site.
- Fleet and Employee Access: Granular permissions allow for prioritized charging for service vehicles alongside employee access.
- Remote Station Management: Features cloud-based diagnostics that eliminate the need for frequent on-site maintenance visits.
Enterprise CMS: The “Brain” Behind Scalable Charging
Kitu’s Expedition CMS delivers the ROI visibility critical for corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting.
Management Platform Features:
- Utilization Analytics: Tracks station efficiency and identifies peak demand patterns to optimize energy use.
- Energy Consumption Reporting: Quantifies exact carbon offsets, providing verifiable data for stakeholders.
- Cost Allocation: Accurately splits billing and energy data between fleet operations and employee benefit programs.
- Scalable Architecture: Designed to grow seamlessly as EV adoption rates increase within the workforce.
California Workplace Charging Blueprint
The utility deployment proves that enterprise CMS can scale to meet the rigorous demands of the energy sector. By utilizing advanced load management, the utility avoided costly electrical service upgrades while ensuring that fleet prioritization remains a top operational priority.
