Use case example:
360 kW electric truck charging station
Area Power connection optimization with regulated 360 kW electric truck charging station
With photovoltaic power, up to 560 A (360 kW) can be supplied to the station at midday using our control system, with a house connection of 400 A.
Advantages:
- No excessive peak values/monthly electricity costs (reduction in monthly peak power)
- Optimal use of your own solar power
- Good preparation for a later investment in a large e-storage facility (container) on the site
- Ideal for Kostad fast charging stations up to 400 kW or more
Requirements:
- Site network / site ZEV (which we are happy to offer you)
Our profitability calculation will quickly show you how your investment will pay for itself in just a few years.
