SmartCharge

THE EV CHARGING SYSTEM OF THE FUTURE

Are you planning to set up a new EV charging station? Or are you looking for a better system for operating and managing an existing system?

SmartCharge is a vendor-independent management system for EV charging that provides a comprehensive overview of your charging infrastructure, with predictability and full control of each charging station. The solution is scalable and has unlimited capacity.

The system includes both SmartCharge U and SmartCharge Control.

End-users pay only for their own use, so that the system is fair for those who do not have EVs. Charging is started with a key, app or RFID-token.

SmartCharge makes it possible to balance and adapt to available capacity between each charge point. This simplifies and reduces costs on installations and operations, the EV chargers are controlled by SmartCharge without need for manual administration.

SmartCharge – just charge.

SmartCharge Control – for administrators

Real-time information about the charging station

SOPHISTICATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT

SmartCharge optimizes available capacity in the charging station, resulting in lower energy costs and overall increased utilization of capacity. In other words: More cars can charge at the same time, without any physical upgrades of the electrical system.

Control the charger's power output by adjusting charging times and distributing available capacity between the chargers.

The system enables dynamic control of the charging station, always in sync with available energy capacity.

Limited charging station capacity? - Distribute the energy

SmartCharge can distribute the charging station’s available capacity according to the users’ willingness to pay and energy needs. It also can balance the load of all the users of the charging station, generating more savings for the charging station.

Energy management with SmartCharge reduces the need to upgrade a building's energy capacity. It allows you to cut the costs of installation, operation and future expansion.

With SmartCharge, each charger can be individually adjusted to deliver power according to capacity (continuously 0-32A). Chargers using the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) are commonly equipped with built-in power meters. SmartCharge can retrieve data from the power meter in the main board for each system if needed.

An energy management controller communicates with the smart charging stations and provides the following benefits:

Reduction of investment costs by eliminating the need for new infrastructure (transformer, intake cable, etc.).
Avoidance of costly power excess charges and overall power supply costs.
Maximum power access to the charging stations.
Prevention of power failure due to overload and the extra costs from overconsumption.
Elimination of shutdowns as the power meter will prevent the total power draw from exceeding the limit.
Overall power management through easy integration with central power management systems utilized by larger buildings or infrastructure.
