Comfort of charging at home
Use your solar electricity. Implementing a smart charging solution with scheduling and smart load balancing will maximize the use of the own energy at home
Use the car like a battery for the household. The V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) solutions are emerging and soon the battery of the EV will be easy and safe to use for storing electricity and use it during the night or when the price goes up
Shared chargers - the community solution. Not everybody has a dedicated parking space to build a charger station. Others have the space, but don’t need in it all times. The charging device can be made available for others during the idle time - earning some money and giving the neighbors and visitors the charge to fill their cars for the next trip
Charge in the office
Typical drive is less than 55km / day. Getting to the office and charging is within the reach
Even the EV with smallest batteries cover the daily needs. If you don’t plan a long travel - you don’t need a big car with a big battery, but a practical car, easy to drive and park in the city
Car for business - charging at home. Companies often provide cars for some employees and give them fuel cards to fill the tank. The equivalent of this is to provide a charger at the employee home, connected to the company account - reimbursing the charging costs easily
Charge on the road
Fast charging - fast travel. The fast chargers are expensive, but fastest and most effective way to charge when on the go. Save time by planing to charge on the available chargers next to the motorway.
Destination charge. Plug your car when you arrive, charge the battery and get fully ready for the trip to the next destination. It is part of the hospitality to offer your guests water and electricity to charge the car
Mobile chargers. Arriving at a place without available charging point? No worries - plug your mobile charger in the socket and charge your car, so you have enough energy to the next charging point. The solution is slow, so more suitable for longer stopovers.
