The ultimate wish of every Charge Point Operator (CPO) is to maximize the utilization of their charging stations. Simply put, the goal is to have more people using your charging stations.
Hands down, by now there are probably a trillion articles offering advice on how to “get ready for NIS2” (just do a search in your search engine of choice). Some contain sensible tips, most simply re-list the requirements of the updated Network and Information Security directive and leave the reader in limbo.
Still, even just 1.5 months away from the EU's NIS2 directive turning into national law, many customers in the electrical sector we speak to have difficulties getting their heads around the full impact of NIS2. In particular, the extension of thorough cybersecurity to the OT networks of their grid infrastructure causes headaches. For many electric and multi-utilities this is still new territory with many blind spots and unknown challenges.
Different cases call for different EV charging station configurations. Keeping this in mind we have come to develop a new station configuration that adheres to the safety standards and is compliant with the current regulations in the EU markets. Moreover, the new configuration brings the metering precision already integrated into the station. It is designed to satisfy clients in need of solutions that can be used in practical cases of reimbursement, residential multi-dwelling, dynamic tariff systems and other requirements.
In the fast-paced world of e-mobility, reliable EV charging options are crucial. It's not just about meeting today’s demand but ensuring smooth operations for the future. Let's dive into why a solid local setup is vital and how it boosts your operations.
The key to making the EV driver happy is creating a convenient EV charging experience. Could it get any easier than the charging process starting as soon as the EV driver plugs the charging cable into the EV? Hardly. At present, AutoCharge and ISO 15118 Plug & Charge (PnC) are the two technologies in use for this purpose.
The NIS2 directive requires owners and operators of electric and multi-utilities to include their OT networks in risk management procedures and risk analysis. The target is to determine the risk exposure of their critical processes and define appropriate mitigation measures. And this is for good reason, as the results of our vulnerability assessments at IOUs, municipal as well as public utilities highlight.
