More electric vehicles, less power: how to solve it?
The electric revolution is in full swing. Companies are making their fleets more sustainable, municipalities are investing in public charging points and project developers are building future-proof parking solutions. But one challenge keeps recurring: available power on site. In many situations, it is not possible or desirable to increase the grid connection. Yet you want to be able to charge several vehicles simultaneously – without concessions.
Ecotap responds to this with Dynamic Power Allocation (DPA): smart technology that automatically distributes the available power across active charging points. This allows you to use the full capacity of the electricity grid, without overloading, waiting times or drastic adjustments.
What is Dynamic Power Allocation (DPA)?
Dynamic Power Allocation is a feature available on the Ecotap DC60 fast charger, a robust and compact Dutch-made charging solution. Equipped with two CCS connections as standard, the DC60 offers a maximum output power of 60 kW.
The core of DPA: charging power is distributed dynamically and in real time to the vehicles currently charging. If one vehicle is connected, it gets the full available capacity. Is a second vehicle connected? Then the power is smartly redistributed.
DPA means that you don’t have to do any manual settings, and yet are always assured of an efficient, stable charging session – whatever the time or situation.
Why is DPA a game-changer?
DPA offers concrete benefits for a variety of target groups looking to invest in smart charging infrastructure.
For companies and institutions
Do you have your own car park for employees or customers? Then DPA is the way to add several charging points without high energy costs. This keeps you flexible, sustainable and prepared for the growth of EVs in your organisation.
For municipalities
Public charging facilities are indispensable, but grid capacity is often limited. DPA enables efficient use of existing connections and offers room for expansion without lengthy grid reinforcement processes.
For project developers
In new construction or redevelopment, every detail counts. With DPA, you provide your project with future-proof charging infrastructure that moves with use and is scalable without extra investment in technology or space.
For installers and resellers
With Ecotap’s DC60, you choose convenience. This charging station is user-friendly and equipped with DPA as standard. So you immediately offer your customers a stronger and more reliable product.
The power of smart distribution
In practice, DPA means you can use charging stations much more efficiently. Whereas without DPA you often have to apply a fixed power limit per charge point – which leads to underutilisation when there is little use – DPA provides a dynamic balance.
The system looks at the current situation: how many vehicles are charging, how much power is available and where is the greatest demand? This prevents consumption peaks and avoids unnecessarily long charging times.
Why choose Ecotap?
Ecotap is all about quality, simplicity and reliability. Most products, including the DC60 with DPA, are developed and produced in the Netherlands. This means short lines of communication, high delivery reliability and support in your own language.
In addition, the DC60 is designed with durability in mind. The metal housing is robust and vandalism-proof, the internal technology is future-proof and maintenance-friendly.
So Ecotap not only offers you a smart charging solution, but also a collaboration with a partner who knows what is going on in your market.
