CPO, charging anxiety, load balancing, charging in cold, OCPI, kWh – the list of technical terms is long. Here is the dictionary.
To promote the expansion of charging stations in the country, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency can finance 50% of the total investment cost in a grant called “Ladda Bilen”. The application process looks slightly different depending on the type of charging infrastructure planned.
Keep this in mind when it comes to EV charging and billing.
On January 1, 2025, a new EU law will enter into force requiring parking lots of heated non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces in the building or on the plot to have at least one charging point for electric vehicles.
Electricity network companies are forced to introduce power-based pricing to create incentives for their customers to spread their electricity use over time. This is to avoid power peaks that can lead to problems in the electricity system. Power-based pricing means higher grid costs if you use a lot of electricity at the same time. Our charging and payment service is based on departure time and charges cars in turn to avoid these peaks and extra costs.
Electric vehicle batteries are affected by the cold – range is reduced and charging is slower. Follow our tips for better control of EV charging this winter.
Afir stands for the Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure. It came into force on April 13, 2024 and will drive the infrastructure for alternative fuels in the EU, among other things, all public parking lots must offer direct payment by card for electric cars without the need for app registration. With our payment terminal, we meet AFIR’s requirements for easy and app-free payment.
As a result, the charging stations never consume more electricity than the property can supply.
All rechargeable cars on the market can use the Type 2 socket.
Range is affected by factors such as topography, temperature, speed and acceleration.
It is an open protocol used within the EV charging infrastructure to enable communication between different actors, for example between charging infrastructure operators and service providers.
It is a standardised open application protocol that allows charging stations and charging station networks from different suppliers to communicate with each other.
That is, the operator who installs and maintains charging stations, either its own or for third parties.
It is a controlled way of transferring information, for example between two systems.
Perfect along the highways but it requires a completely different power outlet and other installations compared to our solution with AC chargers that are load balanced against the property.
As we all know, things can go very wrong. In addition, condominiums, businesses and property owners decide for themselves what price to charge for charging.
Member countries are now Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The electric motor of the charging hybrid is powered by a battery that is charged from the grid.
