Can you control warehouse consumption and charging plazas simultaneously?

Yes. An EMS distributes power between charging points and consumers such as cooling, HVAC and internal transport, so peaks decrease and processes remain stable - without manual intervention.

Do you also provide the groundwork and cabling for charging stations?

Yes, if desired. Powerland can coordinate the groundwork and electrical works or carry them out in-house, so you have one point of contact and the site runs more smoothly.

How many charging points do I need for my fleet?

This depends on number of vehicles, daily km's, rotation and the time window in which charging can take place. Powerland makes a fleet simulation and proposes the optimal mix of DC and AC, including phasing for future growth.

Charging plaza design: traffic flow and safety

In logistics, a charging plaza is only efficient when it works smoothly and safely: vehicles must be able to pull in, manoeuvre, charge and leave without loss of time or risk. Powerland therefore designs the charging plaza not only electrically, but also operationally — drawing on expertise from Group Vandotec, where we have been delivering fuel plazas and heavy-duty infrastructure for many years. Combined with battery storage, solar panels and smart energy management, this forms one integrated system that scales with your operation.

Specific challenges in transport & logistics

Key challenges

Multiple vehicles need to charge simultaneously
Peak moments in warehouse (cooling, HVAC, internal transport)
Scaling up often requires extra capacity (costly, slow)
Insufficient insight into charging profiles and quarter-hour peaks
Fast charging (DC) creates high power demand in a short time

What Powerland solves

Charging plaza with load balancing and priorities
EMS that controls warehouse + charging plaza together
Battery storage for peak shaving and buffering
PV on large roofs for lower cost per kWh
OCPP platform for control, reporting and policy

We don't design a charging plaza based on the number of vehicles. We start from your route planning, your departure times and your growth — and design the right installation around that.

Built to grow with you — and keep running reliably

In transport & logistics, energy demand grows with your business: extra vehicles, extra shifts, new routes. But your route planning also determines how much power you need and when. Powerland incorporates that route planning into the design — charging times, departure moments and rotations help determine which mix of DC and AC you need, how much simultaneous capacity is required and where buffers make sense. This way you design based on your actual operations, not on gut feeling, with room to scale without duplicate costs.

Charging plazas for fleet

Depot charging (overnight AC)

Charging during downtime hours, with power intelligently distributed across the full night. Ideal as a base strategy for vans and vehicles with fixed standstill hours.

DC charging for trucks and tight rotations

Fast top-up charging between trips or shifts. Prevents your planning from becoming dependent on long charging times — crucial with high daily mileage and limited standstill.

Load balancing and priority charging

Power automatically distributed across all charging points, without tripping fuses. Vehicles that need to leave first get priority.

Layout, traffic routes and safety

Logical traffic routes, clear zones for charging, waiting and manoeuvring, correct positioning of charging points and collision protection. Designed to expand without redesigning.

Solar panels on warehouses and distribution centres

Logistics sites often have large, usable roof surfaces. This makes PV:

Cost-effective due to high production capacity
Perfectly linked to charging and daytime consumption
Ideal for supporting HVAC and (pre-)cooling

PV + charging plaza: make your kWh cheaper

Charge with own production where possible
Less grid consumption during the day
Higher return when you also use smart EMS control

DC charging often becomes feasible when a battery buffers peaks.

Battery storage for peak shaving and continuity

In transport & logistics, battery storage is often the fastest lever to:

Absorb peak loads (peak shaving)
Make DC charging more stable with limited grid capacity
Avoid or defer grid reinforcement

Typical use cases in logistics

Peak moments from simultaneous charging + cooling
Buffer for DC fast charging at depots
Stability during variable activity (shift changes, arrival waves)

Charge management, reporting and charge cards

With professional charge management, you keep control of who charges, when and how much — at your own depot and on the road.

Consumption registration per vehicle or user
Cost allocation per department or location
Reimbursement for employees (incl. reports)
Configurable priorities (fleet vs visitors)
Integration with charge cards (RFID) for access and identification
One card for depot and public charging on the road — one billing stream
Remote monitoring, history and fleet insights

You manage based on data: occupancy rate, peaks, kWh and costs.
