Planning charging infrastructure for EV fleets properly

The vehicles are ordered, the wallboxes quickly mounted — and then the grid connection slows everything down. Good charging infrastructure starts with load planning, not with the plug.

The most common fleet-charging planning mistakes

When companies electrify a fleet, they usually plan vehicles and charging points — and underestimate the energy side. These are the mistakes we see most often:

  1. Grid connection sized too small

    Several vehicles charging at once quickly exceed the existing connection. Asking the grid operator only after ordering costs months.

  2. No load management

    Intelligent load management distributes the available power across vehicles and prevents expensive peaks — retrofitting is dearer than planning it in from the start.

  3. Load peaks ignored

    Charging power adds to all other loads. A buffer battery caps the combined peak and protects the demand charge.

  4. PV not integrated

    Company car parks and hall roofs deliver the cheapest charging power — if generation, storage and charging points are planned as one system.

  5. Billing forgotten

    Company cars charging at home, guest charging points, THG quota: defining billing cases early avoids later rework.

Our approach

Charging, storage and generation as one system

We plan charging infrastructure together with PV and storage: the battery buffers charging peaks, the PV system supplies cheap power, load management orchestrates both. The fleet can grow without the grid connection becoming the limit.

  • Wallboxes and charging stations from leading manufacturers
  • DC fast chargers up to 180 kW from stock (EXP60K3 and EXP180K2 by INFY Power)
  • Dynamic load management for fleets
  • Buffer storage against charging peaks
  • PV integration for low-cost driving power
