Schneider Electric announces the launch of its new range of electric vehicle charging stations, Schneider Charge, dedicated to the residential sector. These charging stations are designed to offer more energy efficiency to users, in the transition to more sustainable mobility.

Schneider Charge stations are available in several versions, with cable, single-phase and three-phase, 7.4 or 11kW or with T2S socket, which can be powered both single-phase and three-phase and whose power can be adjusted to 7.4 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW.

The new Schneider Charge charging stations are compatible with the OCPP 1.6J communication protocol. They can be managed both by dedicated applications for charging stations and by applications of energy suppliers or photovoltaic system operators, simplifying use.

An example of an application tested with Schneider Charge stations is Monta. It is free and offers advanced features such as monitoring, charge scheduling, start/stop functions, vehicle battery level viewing and cost optimization.

With the help of the “anti tripping” device, a device for charge management, the power supplied to the charging station can be adapted according to the real-time consumption in the rest of the home, thus ensuring the continuity of the energy supply and avoiding overloading the home electrical network.

“Sustainable electric mobility is the future of transport and an essential step towards a cleaner environment. Schneider Charge charging stations, dedicated to the residential sector, are designed to offer efficient, economical and easy-to-use solutions. With their help, we provide users with a simple way to charge their electric vehicles, offering them advanced and affordable technology for a more flexible and green lifestyle,” says Lucian Ene, Sales Director at Schneider Electric Romania .

The growing infrastructure of electric vehicles gives users the opportunity to be proactive in their approach to charging. Mobile apps can locate nearby public chargers and provide convenient and reliable charging options. The use of an energy management system ensures that most of the charging takes place during off-peak hours. And by analyzing other loads in the electrical installation, consumers can balance the load to avoid spikes in demand, especially during peak periods.
