1. A method for simultaneously managing climate control systems of a fleet of vehicles, comprising:

  • at a fleet server remote from a fleet of vehicles having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors;

    receiving, from each vehicle of the fleet of vehicles, at least one parameter relaying information about a performance of a climate control system of the respective vehicle, each climate control system configured to include an electrically driven compressor;

    determining, by the fleet server, whether a performance inefficiency exists for the climate control system of at least one vehicle of the fleet of vehicles based at least in part on the at least one parameter received from the at least one vehicle;

    upon determining that the performance inefficiency exists for the climate control system of the at least one vehicle, determining, by the fleet server, an efficient operational setting that reduces the performance inefficiency of the climate control system of the at least one vehicle of the fleet of vehicles; and

    transmitting, by the fleet server, an operational setting instruction to the at least one vehicle to control the climate control system of the at least one vehicle.
