“Kremer is working on smart charging in collaboration with Stekker. We have been operating here on the square as a test site for about six months now. We started with ten sockets, and who knows, we may expand that further in the future. That is exactly why we chose Stekker.”

“Why do we use Stekker? We want to gain experience with smart charging. We have a massive PV (solar) installation on the roof and want to utilize our solar energy more intelligently. Additionally, we have a dynamic energy contract, so it is interesting to charge at favorable times when prices are lower.”

“Monitoring the contracted capacity also plays a role. We aren’t actively using that function yet, but according to the monitoring, we came close to the limit a few times last winter. It’s reassuring to know that Stekker can manage this effectively.”

“It’s great to be involved with an innovative party like Stekker and to see how we can strengthen each other as an installation company.”

“We previously ran a pilot here where we wanted to control the PV installation. We have our own automation department and had developed something for smart charging ourselves, but it only worked based on solar energy. That was purely about the timing of the charging.”

“Stekker can do much more: the system listens to as many as twenty different metrics — from self-consumption and capacity limit monitoring to the internal specifics of a location. Being able to prioritize certain vehicles is also a real plus.”

“We have two technicians with electric vans. Through the online platform, we give those technicians priority so they can always charge quickly when they drop by.”
