In Switzerland, there is already a strong trend towards electromobility. Compared to the same period last year, 86.02 percent more new electric cars were registered in the first quarter of 2022 – and the trend is rising. The European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) has calculated that around three million public charging stations will be needed by 2030 for a good 44 million electric vehicles. With EcoStruxure for eMobility, Feller AG and Schneider Electric are making a further contribution to advancing the electrification of transport on the way to a climate-neutral future.
Innovative technologies for the future of e-mobility
The EVlink Pro AC charging station from Schneider Electric, available from Feller AG, is an intelligent solution with the greatest possible efficiency and sustainability. Due to the possibility of integrating them into modular, adaptable metal kits, they can be adapted to a wide variety of needs and are therefore ideal for use in apartment buildings, at the workplace and in public facilities. The metal housing also offers protection against vandalism. The EVlink Pro AC impresses with its high reliability. The well thought-out design with interchangeable components enables quick and safe installation and maintenance. Sustainable operation is ensured because the entire charging station no longer has to be replaced in the event of a defect. The EVlink Pro AC is a charging station for all charging capacities.
Intelligent load management system guarantees trouble-free operation
The innovative load management system EV Charging Expert (EVCE) is used to ensure that the electrical capacities of a building are not exceeded by the additionally connected charging stations. As a locally installed industrial controller for up to 1,000 charging stations, the load management system monitors, controls and maximizes the charging process of e-vehicles based on the energy availability of the building infrastructure measured in real time. Up to 100 different zones can be defined in the network of charging stations, which are assigned a static or dynamic current limit value. The continuous overview of individual charging stations, their status and transactions via an intuitive web server enables optimal management and distribution of the available services to the connected charging stations and prevents unplanned downtime. Smart load management rules also enable the definition of fixed charging time windows or the assignment of a VIP status, which prevents capacities from being reduced at certain charging stations during the charging process.
Cloud solution can be integrated for additional functionalities
The cloud solution EV Advisor completes EcoStruxure for eMobility as an intuitive platform for operation and billing. Initially only available through Schneider Electric, it enables seamless charging and energy management for e-vehicles over the entire life cycle, while ensuring the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the EV charging stations. A look at the dashboard allows a complete overview of the charging facilities. Charging station owners get useful status insights and also keep control over consumption, notifications, maintenance and service logs. The integration of third-party billing providers also enables automatic billing with the end customer. Electric vehicle drivers benefit from the EV Advisor app. With a tap of your finger, you can access one or more charging stations and get a detailed overview of your own consumption.
In addition, users benefit from Schneider Electric’s decades of experience in the field of e-mobility and the proven multilingual support of Feller AG. Qualified service technicians and various service packages ensure permanent availability of the products.
