EVesto is an independent CPMS (Charge Point Management System) that enables companies to manage charging points simply and cost-effectively. With a plug-and-play platform, EVesto offers a self-service environment where operators can configure, monitor and scale their charging network.
Thanks to the collaboration with Stekker, the charging stations managed by EVesto can now also charge smartly. This means that the charging stations can take into account factors such as solar energy, grid congestion and specific requirements of the company or connection. Desired departure times and priorities can also be specified, so that the drivers of the electric cars experience no hindrance when charging.
Necessity
Many companies currently face challenges regarding their power connection and charging plaza: does the charging plaza not draw too much power? How can charging be balanced with other energy needs of the company? Will there soon have to be payment for return of solar power from new solar panels?
Stekker solves these problems by preventing exceedance of contracted capacity, balancing electricity use between the charging stations and the needs elsewhere at a location or on the grid. Stekker also ensures that solar power is stored directly in the batteries of vehicles instead of being returned to the grid, which can save return costs.
- Prevent the contracted capacity from being exceeded by charging stations
- Optimization of use of own solar power
- Smart charging and fleet management via clear dashboard
- Charging at lower costs
- Automatic adjustment to grid congestion
Individual users hardly notice these processes, but in the background Stekker takes into account the necessary control of a location. Business locations can use Stekker for load balancing and logistics companies benefit from efficient fleet management, which can be crucial for timely availability of charged vehicles.
