Curo - Fleet EV Charging Case Study
Epic Fleet Software and Curo Unlock New Revenue Streams for Charge Point Operators and Site Hosts
Overview
Epic Charging and Curo partnered to maximize revenues for fleet charging operators with a seamless software platform. This partnership saved an LA-based CPO over $10,000 while increasing its revenues.
Epic Fleet software simplifies payment tracking for fleet operators, making it easier for them to manage their operations and maximize revenues. With the virtual Epic Fleet Card, multiple vehicles and RFID cards can be linked to a single account, reducing administrative overhead and improving expense management.
Curo is transforming fleet charging by making underutilized EV chargers more profitable for site hosts and Charge Point Operators (CPOs). Through their Virtual Depot Platform, often described as the “the largest private EV charging network”, Curo enables CPOs and site hosts to rent out unused charging capacity to electric fleets, providing fleets with access to an existing, leasable and distributed charging network.
As part of this partnership, Curo’s Virtual Depot Platform integrates with Epic’s software, combining real-time charger visibility with automated payment tracking for the Epic chargers listed on Curo’s platform. The companies debuted their combined solution for a fleet operator in Los Angeles, where it increased charger utilization and streamlined operations.

The Challenge
A Los Angeles Based CPO operating Juicebox EV chargers turned to Curo with underutilized assets. Curo matched them to an LA based fleet operator, drastically increasing utilization and subsequently activated the location.
However, when Enel X Way announced its shutdown, both the CPO and Curo lost visibility into their chargers—along with the ability for Curo’s fleet partner to use RFID cards for activation. Suddenly, what was once a seamless operation hit an unexpected roadblock.

The Solution
The Los Angeles based CPO joined the Epic Transfer Program, which reprogrammed existing EV chargers and linked them to Epic’s OCPP-compliant software eliminating the need for costly hardware replacements.
Since Curo had already launched at the location, they partnered with Epic Charging’s platform to power this Virtual Depot location, reactivating their fleet partners real-time access to RFID card functionality and reliable charging data—ensuring they know exactly which chargers are available.
With seamless integration into Curo’s infrastructure, Epic’s software delivered:
Curo is once again able to manage and optimize fleet charging operations efficiently, ensuring its partners are always able to charge at a Virtual Depot.

Results
The Los Angeles based CPO saved over $10,000 by reprogramming its Enel X Way chargers instead of replacing the hardware. After transferring the chargers to the Epic Software platform, the CPO and Curo quickly regained visibility into the chargers, transforming previously opaque chargers into a stable and transparent network.
