Centralized and scalable charging infrastructure solution, ideal for day parkers and fleet operators
Grid-friendly and intelligent distribution of the available total power through dynamic and phase-individual load management
Minimal maintenance costs due to central arrangement of the components
chargeBIG is a corporate startup from MAHLE that provides centralized and scalable charging infrastructure for day parkers, fleet operators, and for use cases with 18 to 100 or more electrified parking lots. The charging solution relies on intelligent single-phase and dynamic charging power between 2.3 – 7.2kW to charge many vehicles in parallel at one location. The chargeBIG charging infrastructure consists of a central charging cabinet and charging points with permanently fixed type-2 charging cables at the parking lot.
The chargeBIG charging hardware is very cost-effective. The investments include the charging equipment at the parking spot including a permanently fixed type-2 charging cable, the sub-distribution for up to 36 charging points in the form of the industrially manufactured charging cabinet and the central load management.
Scalable – Large scale electrification of parking spots is possible
Cost-effective – Smaller investment in charging hardware and operation as well as reduced costs for power grid expansion
Grid-friendly – Contribution to grid stabilization due to intelligently controlled charging points
User-friendly – Easy to use due to fixed charging cable and activation via app
More than 100 charging points from chargeBIG to supply e-vehicles on the tarmac, in the internal fleet and in public parking garages
Strong reduction of costs compared to conventional charging solutions
With the investment in a chargeBIG charging system, Stuttgart Airport is relying on a cost-effective solution from MAHLE for the electrification of employee and fleet parking spaces, making optimal use of its existing infrastructure instead of having to invest in large-scale network expansion.
Activation of the charging point via QR-code scan
Payment process via input of credit card data or PayPal data
White Label Solution for B2B customers possible
Charging processes can be activated quickly and easily with the chargeBIG app. The charging process is started by scanning the QR-code attached to the charging plug with the smartphone and entering the user’s e-mail address and payment data. The progress of the charging process can be viewed continuously in the app. Recurring users can create a user account. On request, the B2B customer can use a white label app with individual logo, colors and texts at his location.
Our motivation is a charging point at each and every parking spot.
Our core team consists of 12 highly qualified and highly motivated employees who are responsible for hardware and software development, supplier management, sales and marketing, business development and technical service. More than 50 other MAHLE employees support the chargeBIG team and are jointly responsible for the rapid market entry and success.
MAHLE chargeBIG successfully realizes its first project for public charging infrastructure. The subsidiary of the MAHLE Group thus achieves another milestone and assumes the public operating role at this location. The 28 charging points for electric vehicles were installed at Lorch train station in the P&R car park.
MAHLE and Ideanomics Inc. conclude a strategic partnership for intelligent fleet charging solutions. The listed American tech company and the Stuttgart-based technology group are thus jointly accelerating the market ramp-up of the chargeBIG system in North America. The signing of the contract took place on February 7 at MAHLE in Stuttgart.
MAHLE is now making charging of electric vehicles possible even for smaller applications, such as in apartment buildings, workshops, or small businesses. With the new MAHLE chargeBIG6, up to six electric
vehicles can be charged simultaneously at the existing house connection in the future. The central charging distributor is connected to the existing electricity meter. Thanks to Plug & Play, the system is easy to install, inexpensive and can be expanded by six additional bays at any time. MAHLE chargeBIG has already successfully established itself on the market with its centralized and intelligent charging infrastructure for drivers who leave their cars in a parking lot all day, fleet operators, and large application areas with 18 charging points or more, and is now expanding its range of products for small users with the new offering.
