How do I manage my EV fleet in Monta?
This article explains how to add vehicles, integrate them via Enode, share them with team members, assign charge keys, and view the live vehicle dashboard in Monta Hub.
The Vehicles tab in your team enables you to track your electric vehicle (EV) fleet, including real-time battery status, charging status, and vehicle location. This feature is available on Monta Business and Enterprise plans.
If you are new to Monta, see the get started guides for Fleet depot or Fleet on the go.
How do I add a vehicle to a team?
- In the team view, open the Vehicles tab.
- Click + Add vehicle.
- Select the brand and model.
- Fill in the vehicle information.
- Click Save.
How do I integrate a vehicle?
Vehicle integration is available through Monta's collaboration with Enode. To see which vehicles can be integrated, check the Enode capabilities page.
- In the team view, open the Vehicles tab.
- Open a specific vehicle and click Connect.
- If you are not logged in to your manufacturer account, click Add manufacturer account.

- Open the vehicle you want to configure.
- Go to the Charge Keys section and click Add charge key.
- Select the charge key and click Save.
How do I manage my EV fleet in the new Hub?
Available in the new Hub only. The features described below are part of the new Hub experience. Switch from the user menu to access them.
What can I do in the global Vehicles view?
This section is for operators using the new Monta Hub to manage vehicles across one or more teams. The new Monta Hub adds a fleet-wide Vehicles page that lists every vehicle under your operator account, across every team. The same page is also available scoped to a single team, with identical columns and filters.
How do I open the global Vehicles view?
- In the new Monta Hub, open the left sidebar.
- Expand Drivers.
- Select Vehicles.
The page opens at /vehicles and lists one row per vehicle. The team-scoped version of the same view is at Accounts → [team] → Vehicles.
Vehicles table
Default columns:
- Name — the vehicle name.
- License plate — the registered plate.
- VID — the Plug & Charge vehicle identifier (VID), when present.
- SOC — current state of charge (SOC) from the integration, shown as a coloured indicator (red below 20%, amber below 50%, green at 50% or higher, grey when no integration data).
- Default charge limit — the configured charge limit for the vehicle.
- Integration — provider and connection status.
- Odometer — last known odometer reading.
- Location — last known coordinates.
Use the column toggle in the toolbar to show additional integration columns: provider, last seen, battery level, battery capacity, charge limit, charge rate, charging, plugged-in, power-delivery state, time-to-full, location, integration-side brand, model, vehicle identification number (VIN) and year.
How do I filter the Vehicles list?
The filter and column controls sit immediately to the right of the search box in the toolbar; the Table / Map view switch sits in its own row above the toolbar. Use the filter chips:
- Account — limit the list to one or more teams.
- Has VID — show only vehicles with a Plug & Charge identifier.
- Has integration — show only vehicles where an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integration is connected.
- Integration status — filter by provider connection state.
- Vehicle type.
- Plugged in and Charging — filter by live integration state.
- License plate — search by exact plate.
- Odometer (km) — set a minimum and maximum.
- Battery level — set a minimum and maximum percentage.
The free-text search above the filters matches against name, plate and VIN.
How do I view vehicles on a map?
Use the Table / Map toggle in the view-switch row above the toolbar. The selected view persists in the URL, so a bookmarked link reopens the same view.
In the map view, each vehicle with live integration data appears as a coloured pill showing its battery percentage. A coverage line above the map reads X / Y vehicles have a live location so it stays honest about which vehicles are visible — vehicles without an integration do not appear on the map. Select a marker to open an info window with name, plate, battery, plugged-in and charging badges, and an Open details link.
The map view fetches up to 200 vehicles. For larger fleets, use the table view or narrow down with filters first.
Toolbar actions
- Search — free text against name, plate and VIN.
- New — opens a team picker, then the create-vehicle wizard for that team (see How do I create a vehicle? below).
- New → Bulk import — opens a team picker, then the comma-separated values (CSV) bulk-import flow for that team (this flow stays single-purpose; it does not run the post-create driver / charge-key steps).
- New → Create from VIDs — opens a team picker, then the VID discovery page (see below).
- Export — emails the filtered list as CSV to the operator admin who triggered the export.
How do I create a vehicle?
In the new Monta Hub, creating a vehicle is a six-step wizard that bundles drivers, charge keys and the live-data integration into a single flow — so a new vehicle is fully usable by the end without bouncing between tabs.
- From the Vehicles page, open New ▾ → New and pick the team the vehicle should belong to.
-
Step 1 — Basic identity. Enter Name, License plate (optional), and an optional Vehicle Identifier (VID). The VID field shows the fixed
VID:prefix; type only the hex characters (6–20, 0–9 and A–F). Used for Plug & Charge / autocharge so the station bills the right vehicle automatically. - Step 2 — Brand & model. Search and select the brand and model so Monta can prefill specs. Select Skip brand & model to keep them blank.
- Step 3 — Power & connectors. Pick the supported connectors and (optionally) set Battery size (kWh), Default charge limit (%), Max power AC (kW) and Max power DC (kW). Select Add vehicle to create the record — the next three steps run after the vehicle is saved.
- Step 4 — Live data integration. Optionally link the vehicle to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integration from the team's pool so Monta sees live battery, plug-in state and odometer. You can skip and link later.
- Step 5 — Drivers. Pick which team members can charge this vehicle. Admins and owners always have access and are not listed. Select Save & continue to commit the driver list and move on.
- Step 6 — Charge keys. Pick the RFID cards or app charge keys that should bill to this vehicle. Select Save & done to finish.
Result: The vehicle is saved at step 3; steps 4–6 attach related resources to it. Back is disabled on step 4 (the vehicle is already saved) but available between the post-create steps so you can revisit drivers after landing on charge keys. Closing the wizard before the final step leaves the vehicle created — open the detail modal later to finish drivers, charge keys or the integration link.
Row actions
Select a row to open the detail modal in place. From the row's three-dot menu you can also:
- Open — same as selecting the row.
- Edit — opens the team detail page in edit mode (the edit form requires the full vehicle data that lives on the team page).
- Delete — opens the delete confirmation dialog for a single vehicle.
How do I bulk edit or delete vehicles?
Select multiple rows using the checkbox column. The bulk action bar appears at the bottom of the page:
- Edit — opens Bulk edit with the selected vehicles preloaded. You can inline-edit name, license plate, battery capacity, charge power and default charge limit per row, then submit all changes at once.
- Delete — opens a confirmation, then deletes the selected vehicles. A progress toast shows how many succeeded; if some fail, the rest still complete.
How do I bulk edit vehicles?
- From the Vehicles page, select the checkbox next to each vehicle you want to edit.
- In the bulk action bar at the bottom of the page, select Edit.
- In the Bulk edit dialog, update name, license plate, battery capacity, charge power or default charge limit for any row.
- The preview validates each edited row against the same rules the server applies. Rows with a problem are flagged inline with messages such as Use VID:<6–20 hex chars>, Must be a non-negative number, Must be 0–100, or Max 128 chars. Fix every flagged row before continuing — only rows marked Valid are submitted.
- Select Save to submit all changes at once.
Result: A confirmation toast shows how many vehicles were updated. If any rows fail at submit, a Fix and retry button returns to the preview editor with the count of failed rows so you can correct and resubmit.
Detail modal
Selecting a vehicle opens a centred dialog with three tabs:
- Details — vehicle specifications: capacity, max AC, max DC, charge limit, connectors, brand, model and VID.
- Integration — live integration data: SOC ring, plugged-in and charging badges, charge rate, time-to-full, odometer, last-seen, location, and the integration-side brand, model, VIN and year. From this tab you can disconnect, authorize the integration link or delete all integrations on the vehicle.
- Users — the list of users the vehicle is shared with. Transfer ownership, remove a user, or add new users from the team. Sharing changes are written as a replacement set, so save once after editing the full list.
How do I create vehicles from vehicle identifiers (VIDs)?
The Create from VIDs entry discovers Plug & Charge identifiers that have been seen on the operator's chargers and lets you create vehicles for the ones you want to track.
- From the Vehicles page, open New ▾ → Create from VIDs.
- Select the team the new vehicles should belong to.
- The discovery page opens at
/vehicles/from-vids?teamId=…with a default 30-day window. Change the window to 7, 30 or 90 days using the time-range dropdown. - The page lists each VID with: linked vehicle name (or "Claimed (vehicle hidden)" if the VID is bound to another operator, or "—" if unlinked), session count, total kWh, and last seen.
- Select the rows you want to track and select the submit button.
Result: Each VID is created as a vehicle named Vehicle <VID> on the selected team. Rename them afterwards from the detail modal or the team's Vehicles tab.
The discovery list is capped at 500 rows per window. New vehicles can take a few seconds to a few minutes to disappear from the unclaimed list while data replicates.
How do I pin a vehicle to a sponsored team member?
For sponsored employees (where the operator reimburses charging on a privately-owned EVSE), the new Monta Hub lets you tie reimbursement to a specific vehicle instead of any vehicle the member owns — useful when a household has multiple cars and only one is the company car.
- Go to Accounts → [team] → Sponsored → Employees and open the team member's profile.
- In the Reimbursement settings card, locate the Vehicle field (shown only when the sponsored charge point has an owner).
- Select a vehicle from the dropdown to pin reimbursement to that vehicle, or leave it empty to reimburse any of the member's vehicles. The eligible list is fetched from the server, so only vehicles the member actually owns appear.
- Optionally tick the two policy flags below the picker:
- Vehicle integration required — "Driver must have integrated vehicle before charging can start." Only sessions confirmed by a live OEM integration (e.g. Tesla, Polestar, Enode) are reimbursed.
- Manual odometer required — "Driver must enter the odometer reading before charging can start." Use this when the vehicle's integration does not expose odometer data.
- Select Save to apply.
Result: The pinned vehicle and policy flags are stored against the sponsorship and applied to subsequent reimbursement calculations. A small question-mark icon next to each label opens an inline help popover with the same explanation.
What the picker and pinned-vehicle summary show:
- The picker dropdown now shows brand and model for integrated vehicles too — not only for manually-configured ones. If the member's connected vehicle reports its brand and model via the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integration, those values appear on the option's second line (alongside ownership label, plate, capacity and Plug & Charge identifier (VID)). Any manual override the operator typed still wins over the integration value.
- Once a vehicle is pinned, the read-only vehicle summary on the sponsored charge point detail resolves the Model from Monta's vehicle catalogue using the vehicle's model link, so an integrated vehicle with no manual specification still shows its brand, model, variant and year instead of a dash.
- The pinned vehicle's integration block shows a Last seen row with the timestamp of the latest sync from the OEM integration, so the operator can tell at a glance whether the live data backing the reimbursement policy is fresh.
