Energy management for EV charging

Charge smartly at home and at work

Electric driving is growing fast, but the biggest cost isn't in the vehicle or the charging station: it's in the energy. Up to 80% of the total cost of electric driving is energy cost. Smart energy management is therefore THE way to keep that bill under control, both at your employees' homes and at your own business site.

At MobilityPlus, we do this with two solutions: the energy manager Home (HEMS) for home charging and the energy manager Pro (BEMS) for charging infrastructure on site. In both cases, we take the work entirely off your hands.

What exactly is energy management for EV charging?

An energy manager (in technical terms, an Energy Management System or EMS) is the smart director of your electricity. It continuously measures how much energy is available and how much is being used, and adjusts your vehicle's charging accordingly. This way, you always charge at the right moment, at the right power, without overloading your installation.

You'll come across two terms:

  • HEMS (Home Energy Management System): smart energy management at someone's home, for example for a company car in the driveway.
  • BEMS (Building Energy Management System): smart energy management for a building or business site with multiple charging points.

The same logic, at two different scales. At home, our solution is called energy manager Home; on site, energy manager Pro.

What is the energy manager Home (HEMS) for home charging of company cars?

Smart energy management at your employees' homes, hassle-free and without high peak costs.

More and more employees charge their company car at home. Convenient, but without control this can lead to high peak costs, an overloaded home installation, or even a blown fuse. The energy manager Home solves this.

How does the energy manager Home work?

  • Real-time insight: via the MobilityPlus app, you follow your consumption and charging sessions live.
  • Don't trip the fuse: charging adapts to the rest of your home, so the power never cuts out.
  • Peak shaving: we flatten your consumption peaks, because in Flanders your highest quarter-hourly peak determines your capacity tariff.
  • Follow the peak: the energy manager learns your consumption pattern and automatically keeps you within your own peak.
  • Follow the sun: do you have solar panels? Then your vehicle charges with your own surplus instead of feeding it back to the grid for next to nothing.
  • Boost: need a lot of charge quickly? With one tap you temporarily increase the power, and you immediately see what it costs.

What does the energy manager Home deliver?

  • A lower energy bill: you avoid expensive peak loads and therefore a higher capacity tariff.
  • More from your solar panels: feeding back currently earns barely around 0.02 euro per kWh, while grid electricity quickly costs ten times as much. Using your own solar energy to charge is therefore far more advantageous.
  • No grid upgrade needed: you get more out of your existing connection.
  • Correct reimbursement: every home charging session is clearly recorded, ready to be reimbursed by the employer.

What is the energy manager Pro (BEMS) for your business site?

Are you electrifying an entire fleet or charging hub? Then you'll want to avoid all those charging points overloading your grid connection together, resulting in a grid upgrade or peak tariffs. The energy manager Pro intelligently distributes and controls the power across your entire site.

How does the energy manager Pro work?

  • Real-time monitoring and reporting: a complete overview of your energy consumption and charging activity, with data to steer by.
  • Load balancing: the available power is automatically distributed across all charging points, statically or dynamically based on the site's actual consumption.
  • Peak shaving: we keep you below your agreed access power, so you don't pay unnecessary peak or penalty tariffs.
  • Smart charging on green energy: maximum use of your own generation, good for your costs and your ESG goals.

What does the energy manager Pro deliver?

  • Savings on the capacity tariff by flattening peaks.
  • Postponing or avoiding a grid upgrade: your existing connection can handle more.
  • Scalable: ideal for sites with many charging points that want to grow.
  • More sustainable charging with your own green electricity.

Frequently asked questions about energy management for EV charging

HEMS stands for smart energy management at home, for example for a company car in the driveway.

BEMS does the same for a building or business site with multiple charging points. The technology is comparable, the scale differs.

In Flanders, part of your grid tariff is determined by your highest quarter-hourly peak of the month. A single unmonitored charging peak can push up your bill for an entire month. Peak shaving prevents this.

Yes. You avoid peak costs, get more out of your own solar energy and postpone an expensive grid upgrade. Because energy makes up as much as 80% of the cost of electric driving, the payback time is usually short.

With the Follow the sun function, your vehicle charges with your surplus solar power via your digital meter, instead of feeding that energy back to the grid for next to nothing.
Hardly. You set your preferences once and the energy manager automatically does the rest. Via the app you keep an eye on everything, and our team is ready to help with any questions.
