Drive E-mobility Forward While Reducing Electricity Costs

In order to tackle climate change and drive forward the energy transition, switching individual and delivery traffic to e-mobility plays a key role. One of the greatest challenges in this regard is the expansion of a comprehensive and efficient charging infrastructure.

TESVOLT offers suitable complete solutions that include both technologically leading battery storage systems to provide the required energy and a fully developed energy management system for charging station control.

From quick charging stations at service areas or charging solutions for car parks, to large charging parks with numerous charging stations by the motorway – we offer the right product for every area of application. Whether by increasing self-consumption from renewable energies, peak shaving, avoiding grid expansion or smart control of the charging stations tailored to individual requirements – battery storage systems and energy management contribute significantly to lowering electricity costs in the charging infrastructure.

Smart control of the charging station infrastructure with the TESVOLT Energy Manager offers great benefits not only for operators of large charging parks but also for commercial enterprises, supermarkets or lessors of apartment buildings, for example.

It allows you to configure the settings dependent on the charging stations and vehicles in advance, thereby saving costs while meeting the requirements of your individual situation. The range of features includes: the prioritisation of individual charging stations to ensure, for example, that customer parking spaces are given priority over employee parking spaces; charging supplied exclusively or primarily from in-house electricity production; time-dependent control of charging parks; and quick charging with the support of a battery storage system.

Owners of plants for generating renewable energy often only use a fraction of the electricity they produce. This is because it is not always needed exactly when it is generated. The rest is fed into the grid. With a battery storage system, charging station operators can significantly increase their self-consumption and thus save money with every kWh. After all, the purchase price for electricity from the grid is usually at least 25 cents per kWh. With a solar installation and storage system, however, each kWh only costs around 8–15 cents, including procurement costs.

More about self-consumption optimisation

A plant for generating renewable energies, such as a photovoltaic installation, combined with charging stations is the ideal mix from a climate perspective. In this case, however, the energy supplier usually has to expand the grid transmission point for the amount of electricity that the plant feeds into the utility grid. The costs for expanding transformers, for example, can total up to EUR 200,000, and are invoiced to the operator by the energy provider.

This is where TESVOLT storage systems come into play. Self-generated electricity can be temporarily stored, grid expansion can be avoided and huge cost savings can be made.
