Why does the charging station pay off?
Energy is an issue that has been of increasing concern to all types of users, businesses and individuals, for some time now. What’s more, fitting into the overall framework of the ecological transition, the community goal that calls into question mobility and the very concept of energy.
All this in the face of an uneven distribution of the charging network along the boot. And here home charging, performed through the installation of a charging station, is an advantage in terms of both convenience and affordability, especially at this time of transition.
In this article we answer the question why does the charging station pay off? And we do so by providing you with 5 good reasons:
- Why it is convenient
- Why it is possible to schedule charging sessions
- Why the meter does not jump
- Why charging with a wallbox is convenient and safe
- The future of electric mobility between two-way charging and other advances
Why install a charging station at home?
1 – Because it is convenient
The technological habitat that constitutes the electrified system consists of indispensable elements, including the photovoltaic system and the charging station for domestic use. If, thanks to the photovoltaic system, we move from being mere consumers to producer-consumers (see the concept of prosumer) of electricity, through the synergy of photovoltaics and charging post the perfect combination for the use of sustainable and free energy available for non-polluting vehicle charging is realized.
Not only is a perfectly circular and green view respected in which energy is produced by the system and conveyed from the charging station to the car, but the primary reason for installing the charging station is convenience. In fact, by not taking from the grid, charging the car becomes free.
How does this translate into the daily use of Prism Solar? In two words: solar mode. By selecting this type of charging, it will be possible to energize the car only and exclusively through photovoltaic redundancy, without ever drawing from the grid (note: when the sun goes down or the amount of redundant energy runs out, charging stops).
2 – Because it is possible to schedule charging sessions
Choose to recharge when it costs less, when your car is idle for a good number of hours and your home’s consumption is limited. The smart-featured charging station allows you to schedule charging sessions at specific times and days. An example? At night and on holidays, exactly what happens when you set Prism Solar’s Night mode. Thus, while taking from the grid to recharge, you can do so during the time slot when rates are lowest.
3 – Why the meter does not jump
Home consumption and car charging at the same time? Prism Basic and Prism Solar are equipped with the right technology to prevent sudden disconnections from the grid determined by exceeding the power limit in your contract with your operator.
Both equipped with the sensor needed to balance loads, Prism Basic and Prism Solar measure the energy absorbed by the rest of the house so that the meter never intervenes due to overloads from your electric car.
4 – Why charging with a wallbox is convenient and safe
Especially among those who do not yet drive electric, there is often concern about finding themselves “stranded,” in the middle of a journey, without the ability to recharge immediately. So much so that we’re hearing more and more about ‘range anxiety’.
To consider it an insurmountable obstacle is exaggerated, however, it is an understandable point of view taking into account the lack of harmony with which the columns are scattered throughout the territory.
And there goes home charging, finding its portable and Smart alternative in Homer. Always available (it plugs into a standard schuko outlet), it makes the chances of a battery running completely flat, for example, slimmer. By choosing a Prism or Homer product, you have the assurance of safe charging for you and your home. Both product ranges have RCM (Residual Current Monitor) and are resistant to water or water jets (IP65 rating).
5 – The future of electric mobility between two-way charging and other advances
Last but not least, the reason why buying a charging station pays off is that by choosing the right one, you anticipate the future. Silla Industries’ Prism range is joined by. Prism NG, a product that heralds trends in technology supporting electric mobility such as bi-directional charging, which allows energy to be switched from car system to home system.
