Load management

Stop buying more grid capacity than you need

Load management distributes available capacity dynamically across the charge points — by load profile, with prioritisation and without anybody intervening. The difference from energy management: load management governs the charging infrastructure, energy management governs every consumer in the company.

Do the maths

What load management saves you

Two items depend on capacity rather than consumption: the one-off grid provision charge when you connect, and the capacity price every year. From 2027 the capacity price on grid level 7 is measured against the highest quarter-hour in each calendar month — every single peak counts. Set your case:

About the figures: The grid provision charge comes from the 2026 price sheets of the network operators and differs by region. For the capacity price the Austria-wide average of the final stage quoted by E-Control is used (€67.64 per kW and year above 10 kW). Your operator\u2019s actual tariff may differ — we are happy to run your case with their price sheet. The values set here are examples, not real customer data.
Load profiles

Three profiles, configurable in the backend

01

First come, first served

By analysing historic data and forecasts, this profile adjusts charging power to anticipate peaks and react proactively.

02

Balanced

Every vehicle charges at maximum capacity until power runs short. After that all charge points are throttled evenly — everyone keeps charging in parallel.

03

On-off balancing

If charging current drops below 3 kW the session pauses for 30 minutes and then resumes at a higher current.

Prioritisation

The PRIO button

A field sales rep stops at the office for forty minutes; office staff stay eight hours. Without prioritisation both get the same power — and the field rep drives on half empty. Switch the mode, move the priority and drag the available power: the areas show how much power each vehicle receives over its stay.

02 h4 h6 h8 h
Field salesstays 40 minutes · needs 14 kWh
Officestays 8 hours · needs 28 kWh
Officestays 8 hours · needs 24 kWh
Service vanstays 2 hours · needs 18 kWh

Tap PRIO on a vehicle — or switch the mode above.

Priority does not depend on colleagues being nice to each other. It can sit on the charging card — a prioritised RFID card raises the power automatically the moment it is plugged in, with nothing for the driver to do. It can be a rule per site, for example for every field sales vehicle. Or the driver requests it from the app with the PRIO button when things get urgent. Whoever stays all day loses nothing: they have the time the other one lacks.
Components

What sits on site

HW

AC/DC charge point

Carries out the session, connected to the site controller by LAN.

SC

Site controller

Coordinates the charge points, measures power continuously and talks to the backend.

BE

Backend software

Controls the charge points and defines the load profiles — on site or over the air.

Across sites it continues together with electrify: local storage units are virtualised into one central store and surplus power is offered on the market at dynamic prices.
