Knowledge Base
EV Mobile’s Knowledge Base compiles key concepts, questions, and phenomena related to electrification, charging, capacity, and battery buffering. This content is intended for decision-makers, project developers, and experts who wish to understand the true logic of charging solutions.
Our goal is to explain things in a way that facilitates decision-making – without unnecessary technical jargon.
The content of the Knowledge Base is based on practical implementations and real-world use cases. It complements EV Mobile’s solutions and helps assess which type of charging works best for each site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. A battery-buffered solution is particularly justified when power demands fluctuate and temporary peaks exceed grid capacity. For consistent, low-power applications, a simpler solution may suffice.
High-power charging demands significant instantaneous power. In many properties, the electrical connection and low-voltage grid are sized for typical consumption, preventing simultaneous charging of multiple vehicles without capacity upgrades.
Battery buffering enables vehicle charging at a higher power than the nominal peak power of the grid connection. This allows efficient charging of high-power vehicles even with smaller grid connections.
No repair needed
Increasing grid capacity does not render battery buffering obsolete. Battery storage complements grid reinforcements by mitigating power peaks and supporting system operation, even in exceptional circumstances.
The eGenerator is a portable energy solution for locations without grid access or where the grid cannot provide sufficient power. It also serves as a mobile high-power charger for construction sites and other temporary locations.
EV Mobile handles the operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the delivered solution as per the agreed service model. Customers do not need to worry about daily operations.
The battery system and charging equipment are integrated into a single unit, making the entire system easily portable and flexibly deployable. For outdoor sites, the solution significantly reduces extensive groundwork requirements.
Glossary
Battery-buffered charging
A charging solution that stores energy in batteries and delivers it to vehicles when charging power is required. This enables high-power charging even with limited grid capacity.
Charging Infrastructure
The complete system for electric vehicle charging, including charging points, grid connection, optional battery buffering, and control monitoring systems.
Charging Power
The rate at which energy is transferred to the vehicle. Measured in kilowatts (kW). Higher power means faster charging.
eGenerator
An energy source that replaces traditional diesel generators. The eGenerator provides power to sites without existing grid access or with limited grid capacity, ensuring electricity even in challenging and rapidly deployable environments.
Electric Fleet
Vehicles or machinery that are fully or partially electric. This includes passenger cars, heavy-duty vehicles, and work machinery.
Energy Consumption
The amount of energy charged over a given period, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is distinct from charging power.
Grid connection capacity
The maximum power that can be drawn from the electricity grid to a site without requiring grid upgrades. This often limits the deployment of high-power charging.
High-power charging
Charging a vehicle with high power in a short timeframe. Ideal for situations with limited dwell time or when a rapid return to service is essential.
Peak Load
A period when electricity consumption is momentarily at its highest. Charging often creates peak loads, particularly when multiple vehicles are charged simultaneously.
