Smart City Concepts: How Cities Integrate Ultra-Fast Charging into Everyday Life
Urban mobility is transforming rapidly. If you want to develop a successful Smart City concept as a municipality, commercial operator, or site partner, electromobility is now essential.
We will show you how to seamlessly integrate modern EV charging infrastructure into urban areas without wasting valuable resources.
Why a Future-Proof Smart City Concept Requires Charging Infrastructure
A well-thought-out Smart City concept aims to enhance city appeal and image while reducing noise and air pollution. By leveraging automotive data, we can strategically place EV charging stations by analysing driving patterns and identifying areas with heavy traffic. This ensures adequate charging infrastructure where it’s most needed, promoting sustainable energy practices.
However, the increasing adoption of electromobility often challenges the local power grid. This is where JOLT comes in! Acting as an intelligent energy storage system, our network can balance the supply and demand of electricity from renewable sources in real-time. Not only does this stabilise the grid, it also creates additional revenue streams.
The Solution: Battery-Buffered Fast Charging Stations
Implementing a Smart City concept without years of disruptive construction work requires intelligent charging solutions. Our charging stations feature integrated battery storage, enabling a seamless connection to the standard low voltage grid without costly and time-consuming extensions.
Beyond purely urban public spaces, commercial locations also benefit immensely from this approach. As a retail supplier, you can attract busy consumers looking to accomplish multiple tasks at once by offering this convenience. At the same time, integrating EV charging enhances property value, aligning with studies that indicate sustainable buildings command a higher market price for commercial property owners.
Your B2B and B2G benefits at a glance:
- No grid extension needed: Saving you valuable time and costly installation procedures.
- Zero investment required: We plan, finance, and operate premium chargers on your site.
- City appeal: Investing in EV charging points enhances our city’s appeal to residents.
- Optimised mobility: Optimises urban mobility through data-driven solutions.
The Smart City Concept in Practice: MerlinOne
Our excellent example of future-proof technology is the MerlinOne. The MerlinOne is a high-power charger with a power output of 300 kW (2x 150 kW). With its integrated battery and mobile design, MerlinOne revolutionises EV charging infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment without extensive construction work. Equipped with a 65-inch display for public information or advertising, the device prioritises safety with retractable cables.
For locations requiring even more spatial flexibility, the ChargeBox is the ideal choice. The ChargeBox is the most compact and efficient solution in its class and can be charged with up to 320 kilowatts of power regardless of grid infrastructure limitations. Due to the diverse placement options of the system components, there can be up to 300 metres between the grid connection and the charging point.
Delivering cutting-edge solutions that prioritise user experience, safety, and sustainability clearly differentiates JOLT from our competitors, solidifying our position as an industry leader.
