A single 50 kW charger can run on a standard three-phase business connection. For higher capacities or multiple chargers, a medium voltage connection or transformer is often required. With battery buffering and EMS control, Powerland can significantly reduce the grid load, so an expensive grid reinforcement can often be avoided or postponed in many cases. We always start with a power analysis and coordinate with the grid operator.

Not the type of business, but the traffic volume, charging profile and grid capacity determine whether a DC fast charger is profitable. Therefore we do NOT distinguish businesses, but charging scenarios.

Charging scenario 1: High throughput & short stop time

Suitable for: public charging, retail, gas stations, highway exits, high-traffic zones
Characteristics:

• many vehicles per day
• short stops (15-30 min)
• high occupancy rate
• early or late need for battery buffering

Charging scenario 2: Medium throughput & mixed use

Suitable for: offices, showrooms, smaller depots, office zones
Characteristics:

• mix of employees, visitors, occasional vehicles
• vehicles sometimes stay on site for longer periods
• lower grid impact

Charging scenario 3: Internal fleet with predictable charging moments

Suitable for: transport, logistics, bus companies, courier services, garbage trucks, forklifts
Characteristics:

• vehicles return to fixed base
• often charge in the evening or at night
• very predictable charging profile
• perfect match with battery storage

Usually yes. Charging can usually continue locally, but online functions may temporarily be unavailable.
