protection against vandalism. Another advantage of Ebee’s
equipment is that its design is limited to just the essentials.
The entire system is modular. That means it can be more
easily adapted to existing systems, so it can be integrated into
other manufacturers’ products and modified for regions with
specific needs, such as the hugely important growth markets
of the United States and China. This has led to collaborations
with BMW (Light and Charge), EnBW and a partner in China.
The heart of the charging point is the controller, which communicates
with vehicles and provides a simple user interface
for end users. Smart grid applications can also be easily
deployed via existing interfaces. The charging point controller
can be configured to provide any function and the layout of
the charging infrastructure can be customized to fit any need.
Berlin pilot project
In early 2015, the Dutch-German consortium consisting of The
New Motion, Allego and Alliander won a bidding for the project
to install charging points in Berlin and get them up and
running. Ebee and EBG created the charging stations as pilot
projects for Allego. EBG will provide the larger charging stations
and Ebee the smaller ones. The project got under way
in late April and by the end of 2016 more than 400 charging
points should be operational in Berlin. at
