Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of
energy management and automation, today announced new eMobility
solutions to address the biggest challenges to electric vehicle
(EV) adoption. These innovations will improve the reliability,
speed, and convenience of EV charging in homes, workplaces and on
the move.
The company’s three new entries in the eMobility space include
EVlink Pro DC 180kW charging stations, its scalable charging
solution for commercial environments; Schneider Charge, its new EV
charging station for homes; and EcoStruxure for eMobility EV
Advisor, an EV charging management platform which will improve
charging station uptime and performance.
Unveiled today at its annual Innovation Summit, Schneider
Electric’s new solutions will allow operators to effectively
manage, monitor and maintain reliable charging infrastructure,
helping to meet the forecast need for hundreds of millions of
charging connectors by 2040.
Managing charging networks, minimizing
downtime
More than 60% of consumers globally cite concerns over charging
infrastructure as a significant barrier to EV uptake. EcoStruxure
for eMobility EV Advisor addresses these concerns by minimizing
charge station downtime. With real-time monitoring, analytics and
remote management capabilities, this new software-as-a-service
offer gives charge station operators valuable insights into
performance, energy consumption and operational efficiency. Issues
can then be swiftly addressed, helping to maintain power
reliability and provide a convenient experience for EV drivers.
EV Advisor helps business owners and operators reduce
operational costs and time dedicated to managing EV charging
systems. Businesses can control and optimize system energy use
across multiple sites, improving revenue streams from charging.
A connected interface also allows for more efficient collection
of payments from EV drivers. By addressing key pain points, EV
Advisor enables businesses and operators to effectively manage
their networks, helping meet sustainability targets while creating
a hassle-free experience for EV owners. EVAdvisor is available in
the UK, Ireland, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, and
Austria, with plans for further expansion soon.
Charge to 80% in just 20 minutes
With nearly 90% of EV charging expected to take place in
buildings, Schneider Electric also announced EVlink Pro DC, a
fast-charging station for the commercial and industrial built
environments. Scalable from 120kW to 180kW, EVlink Pro DC maximizes
energy efficiency and minimizes electrical costs through dynamic
power allocation. This balances the amount of energy delivered to
each vehicle according to need, reducing power loss across charging
stations. The EVlink Pro DC 180kW enables vehicles to reach 80%i
charge in only 20 minutes, optimizing energy use and shortening the
time needed to get fleet vehicles back on the road.
EV Link Pro DC will be available throughout Europe, as well as
the Middle East, Africa, APAC and East Asia, by the end of the
year.
State-of-the-art home EV charging
Schneider Charge, a smart EV charging station for homes, has
been designed with ease of use, flexibility, safety, and efficiency
in mind. With only just over half (51%) of EV owners worldwide
having a charger at home, Schneider Charge offers a solution that
is robust, cost-effective and simple to install.
Through remote operation through the Wiser mobile app, or other
EV charging apps, users can easily schedule, monitor and adapt
charging times while taking advantage of dynamic tariffs to
intuitively charge when electricity rates are lower. Schneider
Charge also offers peace of mind with an anti-trip system, allowing
EV charging without overloading or disrupting power supply.
Schneider Charge will be made available throughout Europe, as
well as Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia by the end of the
year.
Skilled labour, from start to finish
Reliable charging infrastructure is critical to accelerating EV
adoption, but it requires skilled labor to install and maintain it.
Today Schneider Electric also announced the expansion of its North
America partner, Qmerit, the leading provider of distributed
workforce management for EV charging, to European markets. Qmerit
will connect customers with a network of expert professional
installers, providing on-site support to ensure easy setup of
charging infrastructure. This will strengthen Schneider Electric’s
worldwide network of technicians who are committed to improving the
performance of EV infrastructure and keeping assets running safely
and efficiently.
“We’re delighted to launch our eMobility solutions for faster,
more reliable and convenient EV charging both at home and on the
go”, said Nadège Petit, Schneider Electric’s Chief
Innovation Officer. “Our new open platform software, EV
Advisor, in conjunction with our EVlink Pro DC chargers, means
operators can now benefit from a fully integrated solution to
manage their networks. This helps them maintain uptime,
removing EV drivers’ concerns about charge station reliability
while on the road. Schneider Charge increases convenience for EV
owners even further, bringing the full potential of EV charging to
the home.”
“Solutions like these are vital to addressing the biggest
challenges to EV adoption, such as fast and reliable charging, and
the management, control and installation of infrastructure. As
demand for charging stations rises with the uptake of EVs, it has
never been more important that our customers ‘stay in the driving
seat’ when it comes to managing their own infrastructure.”
