Depot charging: what's your real overnight cost per van?

We run 14 e-vans on urban delivery and thought depot charging would be simple. Turns out the site's old 100A supply is the bottleneck, not the vans. Quotes for a transformer upgrade came in around 40k, which changes the whole business case.

Curious how others handled this. Did you go for smart charging to stay under existing capacity, or bite the bullet and upgrade? Also seeing big swings in range now the weather's turned, roughly 20 percent down on the same routes.

Anyone willing to share real cost per kWh after demand charges? Our finance team keeps asking and I've got nothing solid yet.
