Covid-19 has had a profound effect on businesses of all shapes and sizes. One of the main ones being the financial impact. Now, more than ever, businesses need to become leaner, greener and make their money work harder for them.The adoption of zero emission vehicles for businesses is both one of the most environmentally impactful and financially beneficial transitions businesses can make. This transition offers the potential to greatly reduce a company's carbon footprint, and reduce operational cost by up to 70% in one activity.A huge part of this undertaking is ensuring the right vehicles are transitioned at the right time, accompanied by the right level of infrastructure.Our project is designed to make electric vehicle infrastructure easy to implement for businesses and individuals.We are developing a branded or white labelled software interface for vehicle providers' customers, such as businesses and individuals, to assess their electric vehicle suitability, profile their energy consumption, identify their charging infrastructure requirements and procure this infrastructure from multiple providers.We will use a data-centric approach to assess businesses, their employees' and their fleets' suitability to switch to electric. From this we will evaluate the right level of charging infrastructure needed at each business site, as well as employee homes, and when this infrastructure will be required. This crucial step ensures that longevity and future requirements are considered from the very start.Using a number of innovative technologies we will streamline the process of quoting these opportunities, improving margins and decreasing time requirements for the partners involved.The benefits include:* A streamlined and standardised single interface for all businesses and individuals.* A positive impact financially for installation partners, significantly reducing their cost and time to quote.* Increased throughput of quotes, increasing the opportunity potential for installers and their overall margin.Once quotations are generated, we will highlight our recommendation to the customer taking into account all of the data points collected. Our modular quotation system will allow customers to edit the order without the need to re-quote, and view a live Return-On-Investment and the environmental impact alongside.Using feedback from our strategic partners, such as automotive leasing companies, dealerships, manufacturers and energy companies, we have identified that Diode can create a unique proposition for them by offering one point of interface for all charging requirements across multiple brands. As a result, we are also building the system to handle and guide their personal customers through the process of purchasing the right infrastructure.

新型冠状病毒肺炎对各种形式和规模的企业都产生了深远影响。其中一个主要因素是财务影响。现在，企业比以往任何时候都更需要变得更精简，更环保，让他们的钱更努力地为他们工作。采用零排放车辆的企业是最具环境影响力和经济效益的企业转型之一。这种转变提供了极大地减少公司碳足迹的潜力，并在一项活动中将运营成本降低高达70%。这项工作的很大一部分是确保在正确的时间转换正确的车辆，我们的项目旨在使电动汽车基础设施易于为企业和个人实施。我们正在开发一个品牌或白色为汽车供应商的客户（如企业和个人）提供标记的软件界面，以评估其电动汽车的适用性，了解其能源消耗情况，确定其充电基础设施需求，并从多个供应商处采购此基础设施。我们将使用以数据为中心的方法来评估企业，其员工和车队是否适合转向电动汽车。由此，我们将评估每个业务场所以及员工住宅所需的充电基础设施的正确水平，以及何时需要此基础设施。这一关键步骤确保从一开始就考虑到长期性和未来的需求。我们将使用一系列创新技术来简化这些机会的报价流程，提高利润率并减少相关合作伙伴的时间要求。其好处包括：* 为所有企业和个人提供简化和标准化的单一界面。*为安装合作伙伴带来积极的财务影响，显著降低其成本和报价时间。*提高报价的吞吐量，增加安装商的潜在机会及其整体利润。一旦生成报价，我们将考虑收集的所有数据点，向客户强调我们的建议。我们的模块化报价系统将允许客户编辑订单而无需重新报价，并查看实时投资回报率和环境影响。根据我们的战略合作伙伴（如汽车租赁公司，经销商，制造商和能源公司）的反馈，我们已经确定，Diode可以为他们创造一个独特的建议，通过提供一个接口点来满足多个品牌因此，我们也正在建立一个系统，以处理和指导他们的个人客户通过购买正确的基础设施的过程。
