EcoStruxure EV Charging Expert

EcoStruxure EV Charging Expert allows EV charging to be monitored, controlled and maximized based on the real-time available power in the building.

It helps to ensure the respect of cost and energy efficiency constraints of a set of charging stations by controlling their operation. The controller runs its management program according to the selected parameters and data received from the charging stations.
