AgeVolt for designers – design charging with up to 80% CAPEX savings
Whether you are dealing with a family home, an office building or a mega-development project, SmartBase and MyAgeVolt will allow you to size chargers exactly according to real consumption - without oversized connections, but with documentation, a CAD/BIM library and a professional team that has your back from concept to approval.
Problem
- Chaos in standards and regulations – STN, IEC, § 6 of Decree 508/2009… everyone wants something different.
- Fear of oversizing the connection – you design a "safe" 250 kW, the investor will pay 5 times more for cables, circuit breakers and a transformer station. How to design energy management?
- Lack of reliable data – vendor data sheets ≠ real load profile; simulations, operational data are missing.
- No CAD/BIM symbol library – manually drawing protection, taps, control cables and SmartMeters eats up hours.
- Risk of future changes – if charging needs change, the project becomes an expensive rebuild instead of modularity.
- Unclear responsibility for the backend – who will operate the chargers, bill for energy, and guarantee cybersecurity?
Possible consequences
Whether it's a family house or a huge multi-function building, if you go "the old way" and design a static infrastructure without dynamic management, the investor will receive hundreds of thousands of € in bonuses, but the utilization will remain below 10% , because the actual vehicle consumption will be a fraction of the designed power input. After the final approval, he will find that the reserved power is eating up thousands of € per year and each change in the parking lot layout means a revision of the project documentation, a new building permit and a month of construction delay . The reactive solution of adding load-balancing or a platform will turn into an expensive reconstruction - the cables, circuit breakers and transformer station are already in the ground and another red critical zone will be added to the G-antt diagram, in which the client will deduct penalties and reputation .
Solution
With AgeVolt SmartBase, you design your charging correctly from the ground up – instead of thick copper “hundred-meter” cables, you use a patented bus cabling system that saves up to 80% CAPEX on cabling, circuit breakers and switchboards. We deliver SmartBase as a hardware-agnostic backbone: you can connect our AC/DC stations to it, but also future devices from other manufacturers. Everything runs on the open OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 , so the project will not get stuck in vendor lock-in today and you can expand it in five years without breaking the budget.
You will receive a CAD/BIM symbol library , a performance configurator and simulation data of real load from our existing parking lots for your project, so that you can only size what the vehicles really consume. Our team will provide you with a free consultation , check the drawings, prepare selective protection coordination and integration into BMS, EMS or parking system . From a family house (charging switching according to photovoltaic power) to a multifunctional complex (online billing to tenants, OCPP-over-IP for facility management ), everything is managed by the MyAgeVolt cloud platform with REST API for ERP and accounting systems.
The result? The investor pays less for cables and connections, receives a scalable solution with simple administration, and you, as a designer, save dozens of hours spent studying standards, receive certified training and a hotline in Slovak - so you can hand over the project faster, safer, and with the reputation of an e-mobility expert.
