Smart charging is a revolutionary technology that optimizes your charging experience for your electric car. In this article, we'll explain to you in detail what smart charging is, its benefits, and how it works.
A smart charging station is much more than just a charging station. It is equipped with a special module that allows it to connect to the electrical network and to a management platform. The smart charging station contains additional, so-called smart features. compared to a conventional charging station.
Thanks to its connectivity, it allows you to optimize the charging of your electric vehicle taking into account various factors such as charging time, charging speed and network capacity. This advanced technology also offers you the opportunity to: control the amount of energy transferred to your vehicle, in accordance with the energy needs of your home or building.
We Green works with products such as terminals Wallbox and ABB, smart terminals recognized for their reliability and advanced functionalities. Call We Green for the installation of your charging station.
Smart charging stations offer several features that optimize your charging experience.
Power Sharing, or recharge balance, is particularly useful for sites with multiple charging stations. It allows distributing energy equitably available between all terminals, even when the electrical infrastructure is limited. In this way, you can avoid overcharging and ensure optimal charging for all vehicles.
Power Boost, or peak clipping, is a feature that prevents exceeding the maximum electrical capacity of your home or building. This feature therefore measures how much electricity you consume and assigns the rest to your car. Elle automatically adjusts the energy sent to your vehicle based on other electrical devices in your home. So you can avoid electrical overload problems.
The Dynamic Power Sharing feature combines the benefits of Power Sharing and Power Boost. It monitors the energy demand of your building in real time in relation to its maximum authorized capacity. Thus, charging stations intelligently distribute the available energy between electric vehicles according to their individual needs. This ensures fast and efficient charging for all vehicles, while reducing charging costs.
Choose one smart charging station at We Green has many advantages, whether you are an individual or a business. Below are these various benefits:
Smart charging stations help you optimize the distribution of available energy, which results in significant energy savings. Businesses can reduce their costs by adapting charging to the energy needs of their facilities. Individuals can also reduce their electricity bills by adapting the energy sent to their vehicle according to the other electrical devices used in their homes.
With an intelligent charging station that We Green installs, you can program the charging of your vehicle according to your needs. You can take into account the production of your solar panels, off-peak hours or even your electricity contract to benefit from an advantageous kWh price. So you have total control over your recharge.
Thanks to an application or a dedicated management platform, you can monitor and manage the charging of your charging stations remotely. You have a clear vision of the state of charge of your vehicles and you can adjust the charging parameters according to your needs.
If you have solar panels installed, The smart charging station can be programmed to charge your vehicle when solar production is highest. So, you can promote your self-consumption and reduce your dependence on the electrical grid.
Smart charging offers charging station owners and network operators the ability to remotely manage their charging points. This makes it possible to optimize energy consumption and associated costs. For example, charging can be programmed to start overnight when electricity rates are lower.
On the other hand, bi-directional charging involves the flow of energy between an electric vehicle and the electrical grid through a special bi-directional charger, known as V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) or “vehicle to grid”. This means that the electric vehicle battery can receive energy from the grid and return it back.
The main difference between a traditional charging station and a smart charging station lies in the connectivity and functionalities offered by the latter.
A conventional charging station cannot be programmed to adjust the charging intensity according to the electricity consumption of your home or business. On the other hand, a smart charging station from We Green offers you an advanced and connected solution to optimize your charging and reduce your energy costs.
We Green is your trusted partner forinstallation of charging stations smart. We work with recognized brands such as Wallbox and ABB to offer you reliable and efficient solutions. Take advantage of the advanced connectivity and innovative functionalities of our terminals to optimize your charging and facilitate your transition to electric mobility.
