E-Flux by Road is one of Stekker’s most important integration partners. As a Charge Point Operator (CPO), E-Flux manages the communication layer between charging stations and the Stekker smart charging platform. Through this partnership, individual users can connect their E-Flux charge points to the Stekker app and start smart charging right away.
An average user can achieve savings on charging costs and COâ‚‚ emissions of over 30%.
How do Stekker and E-Flux work together?
Stekker analyzes your vehicle, charging point, power connection, solar panels, and energy market conditions to determine the optimal charging times. E-Flux by Road provides the integration that lets Stekker communicate with your charge point. Stekker functions as a smart plug-in for your charging station — it takes local requirements, installation limits, and your preferences into account.
This cloud-based approach means no changes to your existing hardware are required. If your charge point is already managed by E-Flux, Stekker can start optimizing immediately.
Connect the Stekker App to E-Flux
Individual users can try smart charging for free using the Stekker app. Follow these steps to pair your E-Flux charge point with Stekker:
Step 1: Log into your Mijn E-Flux dashboard
Once logged in, navigate to Pairing. You can find this option in the menu under Smart Charging, or go directly to dashboard.e-flux.nl/smart-charging/pairing.
Step 2: Select the ‘Pair’ action
Click Pair on the charge point you want to connect. A field will appear asking for your Smart Charging Pairing Code (you’ll find this in the Stekker app).
Step 3: Choose ‘Stekker’ as your Smart Charging method
Select Stekker from the list of available smart charging methods. An input field will appear where you can enter your pairing code.
Step 4: Find your Stekker pairing code
Open the Stekker app. Your pairing code is shown on the home screen, or you can find it under Settings → Charge points. Don’t have the app yet? Download it for Android or iOS.
Step 5: Enter the code in E-Flux
Enter the five-character pairing code from the Stekker app into the E-Flux dashboard and click Activate. The status indicator will change from Not paired to Paired.
Step 6: Pairing complete
Your charge point is now connected to Stekker and ready for smart charging.
Step 7: Start charging!
Plug in your vehicle and you’ll receive a notification from Stekker when a charging session starts. Set your desired departure time in the app so Stekker can calculate the optimal charging windows for cost and sustainability.
What Stekker optimizes
Once connected through E-Flux, Stekker takes over charge scheduling and can:
- Charge when electricity is cheapest — the greatest savings come with dynamic energy contracts featuring hourly rates
- Maximize self-consumption of locally generated solar energy
- Stay within your contracted transport capacity (peak shaving)
- Balance load across multiple charge points simultaneously
It works for every vehicle because Stekker communicates with your charge point via E-Flux, not with your car.
Getting started for businesses
For locations with multiple charge points, solar panels, batteries, or complex grid connections, Stekker offers a full Energy Management System (EMS). Stekker can deploy an Edge module at your location that connects to your energy meters and provides real-time data on generation, consumption, and grid conditions.
Get in touch with our team to discuss your situation. Cloud-based setups typically take one to two weeks. If an Edge module is needed, installation takes two to four weeks.
