chargeBIG charging infrastructure is listed in the common charging apps and can be billed via these.
At the chargeBIG payment terminal, charging processes can be billed with an RFID charging card or credit card.
The calibration-compliant billing runs via the chargeBIG backend and the user’s smartphone becomes a calibrated meter. Information such as temperature data, values for overvoltage protection and parameters for integration into the fire alarm system are transmitted between the charging hardware and the chargeBIG backend. The backend creates invoice documents for the users, transmits the payment data to the payment processor, generates a report on the charging data and represents the interface to the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and the transparency software S.A.F.E.eV.
The chargeBIG backend can be connected to other backends via corresponding standards such as the OICP standard (Open Intercharge Protocol). Thus chargeBIG charging points are eRoaming capable.The chargeBIG charging hardware can be operated via third-party backends via the OCPP 1.6J interface.
The chargeBIG dashboard logs the charged kWh per user, vehicle and location. The combination of different user groups (fleet, employees, public, etc.) is also possible. In addition, user and access codes can be managed accordingly, current charging processes and potential faults at the charging points can be viewed, tariffs for the charging current can be defined, energy data can be read out and extensive reports can be downloaded.
The certified chargeBIG partner network of electrical specialists takes care of support, repair and interference suppression. Choose from different service packages for a first-class and smooth charging experience.
Thanks to the central arrangement of components in the chargeBIG system, you benefit from minimal maintenance costs and faster implementation. Replacement of individual components is possible due to the modular design. Any errors that may occur can even be fixed remotely.
Service errors are avoided in particular by the permanently attached charging cable. The charging point is always released on the vehicle side and the fault of a locked own charging cable is therefore not given.
The annual maintenance includes: visual inspection, testing according to DIN VDE 0701/702, according to DGUV V3, according to DIN VDE 0105-100, functional testing, testing of the backend connection, repeat testing of the permanently loaded circuits and the documentation of maintenance. The chargeBIG dashboard allows you to conveniently and easily schedule maintenance.
chargeBIG also offers its customers a commercial leasing model. Companies often have different budgets for OPEX (operating expenditure) than for CAPEX (capital expenditure). Monthly expenses via leasing installments equalize a larger upfront investment. The return on investment is easier to demonstrate.
If a customer wishes to set up charging infrastructure without purchasing it, the charging points can be offered as turnkey leases. The monthly installment depends on the total investment, the market conditions (interest rate) at the time the contract is concluded and, of course, the term. The leasing term is usually 8 years (AFA period). It is important that the system installation is planned to be reversible.
Temporary public describes charging infrastructure that is available to the public at night or at weekends, for example. For a one-off down payment, chargeBIG takes care of everything else, such as installation, maintenance, operation, billing and electricity supply contracts. There are no additional running costs for the customer. This model is known as “Charging as a Service (CaaS)”.
