Electric Mobility
smart-me . makes electric mobility easy. Our Pico charging stations are suitable for all electric mobility applications (private, semi-public, public) and can be billed using multiple rate plans or fully automated via credit card. Smart load management ensures an intelligent and solar-optimized distribution of available energy while preventing overloading of power lines in the building or neighborhood.
Pico - The EV charging station for every situation
Pico Electric charging stations are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, communicate with drivers via a large display, and—thanks to the backplate design—can be cost-effectively installed using a flat cable or on stands. They can be activated via an app, RFID, or CarID and provide both the facility owner and the driver with real-time information on charging power and billed energy at all times.
For which applications are Pico charging stations suitable?
Private residences in apartment buildings or condominiums
Employee parking lots at small and medium-sized businesses or public institutions
Semi-public charging stations in visitor parking lots, at restaurants, or at hotels
In public parking areas in the city center, at public facilities, or along major traffic routes
Unlimited Load Management
Our intelligent control system ensures optimal distribution of charging power, reliably safeguards the building’s power lines at all times—even in the event of a cloud outage—and prevents costly peak load(s). The system is easy to configure and then monitors the electrical installation across up to six levels within the building or neighborhood; it can be used for very large installations. Built-in solar optimization ensures the sustainable use of locally generated energy.
For which applications are Pico charging stations suitable?
Six-level dynamic load management
Smart Use and Optimization of Solar Energy
Automated Adjustment to Dynamic Electricity Rates
Flexible prioritization of defined charging groups
Load balancing and targeted load shedding
eCarUp -
Billing Made Easy
With eCarUp , you can easily manage and bill for your charging stations—whether they’re public, semi-public, or private. Our flexible, hardware-independent billing solution meets a wide range of market needs and enables simple, scalable charging infrastructures.
Auto-Billing
Charges are billed automatically, and the proceeds are deposited directly into your account.
Intuitive Web Portal
Manage everything from one place: Set prices, manage users, and keep track of the real-time status of your charging stations.
Maximum user convenience
Convenient payment by credit card, Apple Pay/Google Pay, and flexible activation via app, RFID card, or Auto-ID.
Automated Billing
Pico-Charging stations are MID-certified and can be managed via the smart-me billing system in a legally compliant and automated manner based on multiple rates (e.g., peak, off-peak, and solar rates). Open interfaces also ensure easy integration with a wide variety of billing solutions. Through the eCarUp backend, charging transactions can be processed fully automatically via credit card without a collection process.
What types of billing can be implemented?
High and low rates for a single property via an automated PDF per user
Peak, off-peak, and solar rates in one CSC via an automated PDF for each user
Via export in various formats, such as Excel and CSV
Fully automated via credit card through the eCarUp backend
Through any billing service provider via a digital software interface (API)
Reference Property
Azienda Elettrica Ticinese (AET), on behalf of the Canton of Ticino, has installed a charging park with approximately 50 charging points at an administrative building in Bellinzona using smart-me technology. The Pico charging stations used combine multi-stage load management, ease of use, and comprehensive analytics 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 EV charging station has a Type 2 connector and can charge all standard vehicles. Additionally, many different charging station models are compatible through the eCarUp backend (subsidiary).
Is it easy to bill for charging stations using smart-me ?
Yes, we have the right solution for every application. At CSC , usersof smart-me Pico charging stations can bill directly using their own solar power. For public applications, our subsidiary offers suitable solutions for visitor parking lots or public spaces.
How do I activate a charging station?
It's easy—just use the app or an RFID card. The smart-me Pico charging station can also read the vehicle's ID from most manufacturers and store it in the eCarUp app . Then, as a driver, all you have 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 power evenly among all vehicles. Dynamic load management, on the other hand, adjusts the charging power in real time to match the building’s total energy consumption. This ensures that the available power from the building’s utility connection is used optimally and prevents overloading. The Pico charging station handles both functions with ease.
What happens when the home service line reaches its capacity limit?
smart-me ’s dynamic load management ensures that the home 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 the stove, always take priority. This reliably prevents costly peak load(s) and keeps the building’s power supply stable at all times.
Can a solar power system also be used to charge electric cars with the smart-me solution?
Yes, the smart-me solution is optimized for charging electric vehicles with surplus solar power. The system can be configured to prioritize charging electric vehicles with surplus solar power from your own roof. This maximizes self-consumption and reduces charging costs.
Is the smart-me solution compatible with OCPP?
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 -compatible charging stations from other manufacturers. This ensures maximum flexibility and future-proofing.
