Installing a charging station is one thing. Ensuring that the charger works seamlessly with your solar panels, doesn’t overload your grid connection, and doesn’t cause your energy costs to skyrocket, that’s another story. Vestel Mobility and Embion are tackling this together. Vestel provides the charging infrastructure, AC and DC chargers that scale with demand. Embion provides the “brain”, an EMS that keeps all those power flows on track.
Vestel Mobility is a global technology company with over 40 years of manufacturing expertise, specializing in scalable AC and DC charging solutions. Their infrastructure scales with demand from a handful of chargers on a business park to large-scale public charging locations.
The Embion EMS connects directly to the Vestel chargers and continuously monitors energy consumption on-site. The power supplied to the chargers is automatically adjusted based on available grid capacity, local generation, and other consumers. This way, a charging station becomes an active participant in the site’s energy system.
Grid congestion is a barrier to expansion for many organizations. Upgrading a connection takes time, money, and paperwork, and it’s not always the fastest solution.
By combining Vestel’s scalable chargers with the Embion EMS, organizations can expand their charging capacity without immediately requesting additional grid capacity. The EMS prevents peak loads by dynamically distributing energy across chargers, generation, and storage. This allows the existing connection to handle more load, which is immediately reflected in lower energy costs.
Does the location have solar panels? If so, the Embion EMS directs local generation preferentially to the Vestel chargers, rather than back into an overloaded grid. This increases self-consumption and reduces energy costs without requiring any configuration.
At locations with battery storage, this goes one step further. The EMS automatically coordinates the interaction between solar panels, the battery, and charging stations. If you add extra chargers or storage later, the system scales accordingly and keeps everything in balance.
The integration between Vestel Mobility’s charging solutions and the Embion EMS is available for both new and existing installations. Curious about the benefits for your location? Contact Embion or Vestel Mobility.
