Intelligent charging on a grand scale

To quickly and reliably charge their own fleet of vehicles - and the electric vehicles of the employees at their administrative office - Mainzer Stadtwerke, the Mainz municipal utility company, successively equipped parts of its underground carpark with smart charging infrastructure. In total, 200 parking spaces were electrified. Implementing the project required a future-proof technology that would prevent overloading of the grid expansion in the later stages of the development. It also needed to offer the possibility of integrating an invoicing system.

At the Mainz site, the network environment would soon have reached its limits because of the additional load on the charging stations without any load management. However, our analysis revealed that the intelligent charging and energy management ChargePilot® works well with the infrastructure.

For Mainzer Stadtwerke not only the broad information and product range of The Mobility House is very interesting, but also the fact that ChargePilot® is vendor-independent and modularly scalable. Intelligent charging makes it possible, for example, to make better use of existing energy reserves at a certain point in time.
