Retail & destination charging
The car park that outlasts the shopping trip
Destination charging extends dwell time and brings customers who search specifically for charge points. aCharge keeps it from becoming a cost centre: every session is billed, and through the roaming network drivers from other providers pay too.
What you get
Plan, install, monitor, bill
The four steps between “we would like charge points” and a running installation — from one source, with one point of contact.
Concept
Technical feasibility, on-site survey, documentation and, where needed, a load profile measurement.
Planning
Detailed and, on request, tender planning, matched to connection capacity and expansion stages.
Installation
Built by POSID or your own contractor — the controller is vendor-independent.
Operation
Monitoring, user management and metrology-compliant billing then run on automatically.
Capabilities
What the system takes off your hands
Vendor-independent
Wallboxes and charging stations from many vendors over OCPP and Modbus TCP — mixed if need be.
Scalable
Start with a few charge points and grow. Up to 1,000 per site.
Reliable
The local controller keeps regulating even if the internet connection drops.
Always current
Automatic software updates protect your investment over its lifetime.
Load management
Dynamic and multi-stage, integrable even into complicated existing installations.
User management
Manage users and charge cards; users can register themselves.
Billing
Automatic metrology-compliant billing, optionally with SEPA collection.
Monitoring
Remote monitoring of the charging infrastructure with alerting on faults.
Recommendation
For this kind of site: aCharge Cloud
One connection, a manageable number of charge points, one meter: the entry-level tier covers that — and costs less.
