chargeBIG
Description
chargeBIG is a Corporate Startup of MAHLE specialised in scalable charging infrastructure for daytime parking and fleet operators. chargeBIG utilises a charging concept with capacity up to 7.2 kW consisting of an intelligent control unit with fixed charging cables at the car park. Thanks to the intelligent charging system and design-to-cost approach there is no need to invest in expanding the grid connection, resulting in substantial cost and time savings during the installation of the charging infrastructure. The central control unit distributes the available charging capacity to the parked vehicles using dynamic and phase individual load management. chargeBIG responds flexibly to other consumers in the grid and uses the electric vehicles as a controllable load.
Jury statement
One of the vulnerabilities in the use of e-autos is the still insufficient charging infrastructure with the fastest possible charging times. MAHLE has recognized that commuters with short distances to the workplace are not dependent on fast charging times. Because the car sits in a parking space all day anyway, it can be charged with a slower and more economical way with up to 7.2 kW. MAHLE is actually going farther with its innovative product and incorporating the vehicle into an intelligent charging management. A strong system that makes optimal use of existing resources and is comparably economical and therefore makes an important contribution on the path to electromobility.
