Avoid high power charges with ChargeNode's smart charging service. Combine load balancing and outgo-based charging for lower electricity costs and easy management.
A smart charging service is an important tool for businesses and property owners who want to keep their electricity costs down while providing electric car charging.
No later than 2027 all Swedish electricity grid companies must have implemented power-based pricing, which means charging based on power output. Already today, the model is being applied among the electricity network companies or it is fully planned for introduction. Power-based pricing is to be motivated to spread out the use of electricity. This means avoiding power peaks, which promotes efficient grid utilization.
Electric car charging and power-based pricing can therefore pose problems if you do not think about it from the start. With ChargeNode's smart charging and payment service, it is possible to level the power curve and thus avoid expensive power charges. Users enter the departure time in the company's app and then the charging and payment service prioritizes the order in which to charge the cars.
“Our charging system has load balancing function in combination with a smart charging service so that members' cars are charged based on parking time. Thus, it is the combination of load balancing and smart charging service that allows the plant owner to reduce their electricity consumption and thus avoid expensive power charges,” says Richard Forssell at ChargeNode.
Another advantage is that ChargeNode's charging system with its centralized charging control has far fewer components than traditional solutions. This means efficient and inexpensive management after the end of the warranty period.
“We recommend that businesses and property owners think through how to manage their charging infrastructure over time,” says Richard Forssell.
