How do you align charging infrastructure, PV and peak consumption?
We map out your charging, energy and consumption puzzle and solve it.
We map out your charging, energy and consumption puzzle and solve it.
Are you wondering how to align your charging infrastructure and solar panels intelligently, without extra investments? Are you unsure whether your current infrastructure is sufficient for the growth of your electric fleet? Or do you want to keep your peak consumption under control, but you do not know where to start? At E+Drive we help companies with exactly that question.
We look at smart integrations tailored to your building, your capacity and your (current and future) electric fleet. To do so, we bring infrastructure, energy consumption and charging objectives together in one workable solution.
Common situations at companies
Situation 1: All EVs charging at full power
Every car is charged immediately at maximum power (11kW or more).
- No spreading or control
- PV production is not used efficiently
- Peak power shoots up, and the energy bill follows
Situation 2: Reducing the power per charging point
Each charging point is limited to, for example, 6kW to avoid peaks.
- Fewer peaks, but also slower charging sessions
- Vehicles that park only briefly do not get fully charged
Situation 3: Static Load Balancing
A fixed total power is distributed across the charging points (for example, 45kW).
- Better spread consumption
- No distinction between vehicles or priorities
Situation 4: Dynamic Load Balancing
The charging current is dynamically adjusted based on the current consumption.
- A smarter system that takes grid load into account
- Without insight into who leaves when or how much someone needs
Situation 5: Smart charging with EMS
One system that combines all factors:
- Arrival and departure times
- Charging needs per vehicle
- Available grid capacity
- PV yield and energy tariffs
- More EVs charging with the same infrastructure
- Lower peaks and lower costs
- Maximum use of your existing installation
