Why is a high-powered wallbox alone not enough?
Charging electric vehicles is becoming the standard for anyone who wants to charge efficiently, safely and at minimal cost. However, if you connect a high-powered wallbox at home or at your business without intelligent management, simultaneous use with other appliances may overload and trip the main circuit breaker.
The solution is a system that continuously monitors the building's energy consumption and automatically adjusts charging power to the current situation.
What is smart charging and how does it work?
Smart charging of electric vehicles is an intelligent process in which the charging station communicates with the vehicle, the building and the energy grid. Instead of continuously drawing full power, the system can flexibly adjust charging parameters according to the current situation.
Key technologies include dynamic charging power management using the OlifeEnergy SmartMeter or MyBox AC Sensor module.
What happens when household consumption increases?
The SmartMeter or AC Sensor continuously monitors the home's current energy consumption. If you turn on the washing machine, heat pump or kettle, the wallbox automatically reduces the charging current to prevent the main circuit breaker from tripping. Once the appliances finish their cycle, the charging power is safely increased again.
3 main reasons to go with a smart wallbox
Maximising savings with a low tariff (HDO): The system automatically delays the start of charging to periods when cheaper electricity is available.
Efficient use of photovoltaics: An intelligent station can direct surplus energy generated by your PV system into the vehicle's battery.
Remote management and overview: Via a mobile app or cloud platform, such as the centralised SECTRON EMA system, you gain instant access to energy consumption, RFID authorisations and remote diagnostics.
Monitor charging from anywhere
Modern charging solutions let you monitor charging sessions, consumed energy, power and costs. The collected data makes it easier to control home charging and manage larger company infrastructure.
