Why we've invested in Easelink
Trend
The battery size and therefore the range of electric vehicles has increased in recent years to an average of more than 300 kilometres. This eliminates the need to connect the vehicle to the wallbox for recharging at every stop or at home. Users reduce the cumbersome handling of the charging cable to a minimum.
Automated charging for users and grid
Problem
Vehicles that are not connected to the grid are not available for new business models. Efficient load management to support the grid and automated use of self-generated PV electricity in the ecosystem for customers require an automated and efficient connection between electric vehicles and the grid.
Solution
Easelink's automated conductive charging solution combines convenience for users with maximum availability of the electric vehicle for the future energy ecosystem. EV fleets that automatically connect to the grid can be optimally managed.
- Matrix Charging enables no-touch operation during the charging process.
- High efficiency
- Easy installation with low installation and maintenance costs
- Flexible vehicle integration with minimal installation space requirements and weight
