ZEVA Embraces the Future: Transition to Tesla’s New Fleet Telemetry API Enhances Global Fleet Management

ZEVA Global

February 20, 2025

As the world accelerates toward a sustainable future, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming the cornerstone of modern fleets. At ZEVA, we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve, ensuring our clients have access to the most advanced telematics solutions available. That’s why we’re excited to announce that our team has successfully transitioned to Tesla’s new Fleet Telemetry API. This milestone enables us to support fleets with Tesla vehicles across Australia, Canada, the US, Europe, and Asia with even greater precision, insight, and cost efficiency.

What Does This Transition Mean for Your Fleet?

Tesla’s new Fleet Telemetry API represents a significant leap forward in EV telematics. By integrating this cutting-edge technology, ZEVA is now able to provide fleets with enhanced data and capabilities, empowering businesses to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve sustainability. Here’s what the new API brings to the table:

Enhanced Vehicle Data: The new API provides access to a wealth of real-time and historical data, including battery health, charging status, energy consumption, and vehicle diagnostics. This granular level of insight allows fleets to make data-driven decisions that maximize efficiency and uptime.
Improved Fleet Visibility: With detailed location tracking, trip history, and driver behavior analytics, fleet managers can monitor their Tesla vehicles and driver behavior with unprecedented clarity. This visibility is critical for improving safety, reducing wear and tear, and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Seamless Integration: The new API is designed for seamless integration with existing fleet management systems. ZEVA’s platform ensures that your transition is smooth, with minimal disruption to your operations.
Global Scalability: As fleets expand across borders, the need for a unified telematics solution becomes paramount. ZEVA’s integration with Tesla’s new API ensures that fleets operating in Australia, Canada, the US, Europe, and Asia can rely on consistent, high-quality data and support.

Cost Efficiencies of API-Based Telematics

Here’s how:

No Hardware Costs: Traditional telematics systems often require OBD-II dongles or other hardware, which can cost between $50 to $250 per vehicle. With Tesla’s API, this hardware is unnecessary, saving fleets thousands of dollars upfront.
Reduced Maintenance: Hardware-based systems are prone to wear, damage, and tampering, leading to additional maintenance costs. API-based telematics removes this burden entirely.
Lower Software Fees: Traditional telematics providers often charge hefty monthly subscription fees, typically ranging from $15 to $40 per vehicle. Tesla’s API integration allows ZEVA to offer more competitive pricing, passing these savings on to our clients.
Scalability Without Added Costs: As fleets grow, API-based solutions scale effortlessly without the need for additional hardware investments or complex installations. This scalability ensures that your telematics costs remain predictable and manageable.
Studies show that fleets leveraging API-based telematics can reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 30% compared to traditional systems. These savings, combined with the enhanced data and capabilities of Tesla’s API, make ZEVA’s solution a clear choice for forward-thinking fleets.
