The Schmidt family lives in Germany and has solar panels installed on their roof along with a home battery storage system. They also have our smart Wallbox.
During the day, solar power first meets the household’s electricity needs, and any surplus is stored in the battery for use during cloudy days or at night.
When Mr. Schmidt Goes to the Office
The smart Wallbox prioritizes charging the electric vehicle using the low electricity rates available at night and the stored energy from the home battery. This ensures the car is fully charged before he leaves for work. The vehicle is parked at the office during the day, so there’s no need to charge it then. Through the app, Mr. Schmidt can flexibly set his charging schedule, and the Wallbox will intelligently adjust charging times and speeds based on electricity prices and battery status to maximize cost savings.
When Mr. Schmidt Works from Home
If Mr. Schmidt works from home, the car remains parked at home during the day. The Wallbox prioritizes charging the vehicle directly from solar power, combined with the battery storage and dynamic electricity pricing, intelligently scheduling charging to minimize grid dependence while keeping charging green and economical.
Weekend Outings
On weekends, the Schmidt family often goes on trips, which means higher electricity demand for the vehicle. Mr. Schmidt can use the app to set charging priorities and desired battery levels in advance. The Wallbox ensures the car is fully charged before departure, meeting the higher power demand while still balancing energy efficiency and cost control.
Using the mobile app, Mr. Schmidt can monitor and control charging remotely at any time and flexibly adjust charging plans. Multiple built-in safety features ensure the charging process is secure and worry-free.
Thanks to the intelligent integration of solar power, battery storage, and dynamic electricity pricing, the Schmidt family enjoys an economical, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient EV charging solution.
