Electromobility
e-Mobility is simple with smart-me. Our Pico charging stations are suitable for all e-Mobility use cases (public, semi-public or private) and can be billed based on multiple tariffs or fully automated via credit card. A smart load management system ensures an intelligent and solar-optimized distribution of available energy while preventing the overload of power lines in the building or neighborhood.
Pico - The e-charging station for every situation
Pico e-charging stations are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, communicate with drivers via a large display, and can be installed cost-effectively on flat cables or stands thanks to their backplate design. They can be activated via app, RFID, or CarID and provide both the station owner and the driver with real-time information on charging performance and energy consumption at any time.
What are the use cases for Pico charging stations?
Private in apartment buildings or for condominium owners
Employee parking lots at SMEs or public institutions
Semi-public charging points, e.g. in visitor parking lots, restaurants or hotels
Publicly in parking areas in the city center, at public facilities or along main traffic routes
Unlimited load management
Our intelligent control system ensures optimal distribution of charging power, reliably secures the supply lines in the building even in the event of a cloud failure, and avoids expensive peak loads. The system is easy to configure and then monitors the electrical installation on up to six levels in the building/neighborhood and can be used for very large installations. Built-in solar optimization ensures sustainable consumption of locally generated energy.
For which use cases are Pico charging stations suitable?
Dynamic Multilevel Load Management on up to six levels
Smart use and optimization of solar energy
Automated adjustment to dynamic electricity tariffs
Flexible prioritization of defined charging groups
Load balancing and targeted load shedding
eCarUp - Billing made easy
With eCarUp, you can easily manage and bill your charging stations, whether they are public, semi-public or private. Our flexible and hardware-independent billing solution covers a wide range of market needs and enables simple and scalable charging infrastructures.
Auto-Billing
Charging sessions are billed automatically and revenue flows directly into your account.
Intuitive web portal
Control everything centrally: Set prices, manage users, and keep track of the real-time status of your charging stations.
Maximum user comfort
Convenient payment by credit card, Apple/Google Pay, and flexible activation via app, RFID card or Car-ID.
Automated billing
Pico charging stations are MID certified and can be billed automatically and in compliance with legal requirements via smart-me Billing according to several tariffs (e.g. high, low and solar tariffs). Open interfaces also guarantee easy integration into a wide variety of billing solutions. Via the eCarUp backend, charges can be processed fully automatically via credit card and without a collection process.
What billing types can be implemented?
High and low tariff in a property via automated PDF per user
Hoch-, Nieder- und Solartarif in einem ZEV via automatisiertem PDF pro Nutzer
Via export in various formats such as Excel, CSV
Fully automated via credit card through the eCarUp backend
Via any billing service provider through a digital software interface (API)
Reference project
On behalf of the canton of Ticino, Azienda Elettrica Ticinese (AET) has installed a charging park with around 50 charging points at an administrative building in Bellinzona using smart-me technology. The Pico charging stations used combine Multilevel Load Management, easy operation, and extensive evaluation options based on certified real-time data.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about electric mobility
Can any electric car be charged with smart-me?
Yes, our Pico e-charging station has a Type 2 connection and can charge all commercially available vehicles. Many different charging station models are also compatible via the eCarUp backend (subsidiary company).
Is it easy to bill charging stations with smart-me?
Yes, we have the right solution for all applications. In the ZEV, smart-me Pico charging stations can directly bill for their own solar power. For public applications, our subsidiary offers suitable solutions for visitor car parks or public places.
How can I activate a charging station?
It’s easy with the app or RFID card. The smart-me Pico charging station can also read the vehicle ID for most manufacturers and store it in the eCarUp app. Then all the driver has to do is plug in the cable.
What is the difference between static and dynamic load management?
Static load management distributes a predefined, fixed charging capacity evenly across all vehicles. Dynamic load management, on the other hand, adjusts the charging capacity in real time to the building’s total consumption. This ensures that the available capacity of the building connection is used optimally and prevents overload. The Pico charging station covers both functions with ease.
What happens when the domestic connection reaches its capacity limit?
smart-me’s dynamic load management ensures that the house connection is never overloaded. When many devices require power at the same time, the system intelligently and automatically reduces the charging power of the connected electric vehicles. Important household appliances such as washing machines or cookers always have priority. This reliably avoids expensive peak loads and keeps the power supply in the building stable at all times.
Can the smart-me solution also be used with a solar power system to charge electric cars?
Yes, the smart-me solution is optimised for PV surplus charging. The system can be configured so that electric cars are prioritised for charging with surplus solar power from your own roof. This maximises self-consumption and reduces charging costs.
Is the smart-me solution OCPP-compatible?
Yes, the smart-me charging infrastructure is compatible with the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). This enables the integration of Pico charging stations into various backends and management systems, as well as the integration of a wide range of OCPP-enabled charging stations from other manufacturers. This ensures maximum flexibility and future-proofing.
