Charging Strategies – Simply Explained

When e-buses charge without coordination, it leads to chaos in the depot:
charging points are blocked, batteries remain undercharged, grid capacity is exceeded and suddenly no bus is ready in time.

The following video explains how an intelligent charging strategy with MOBILEcharge prevents these issues and why predictability, cost-efficiency, and sustainability go hand in hand.

Charging Strategy: Shift Loads Dynamically

During the day, the power grid is heavily strained and electricity is particularly expensive.
At night, however, there is sufficient capacity and rates are significantly lower.

MOBILEcharge ensures these cheaper charging windows are automatically used.
The next video explains how this reduces electricity costs and eases grid load – all without additional effort.

Charging Strategy: Timetable-based Charging

Your bus schedules determine the daily routine.

In the third video, you’ll see how the system recognizes when each bus needs to be ready, how much energy it needs and automatically adjusts the charging behavior accordingly.
This ensures that every bus is charged at the right time and place – without any manual intervention.
