In the rapid move towards e-mobility, the past few years have seen an exciting acceleration of progress. Not only electric vehicles (EVs) but also EV chargers have come an impressively long way. Newer, faster and smarter is the name of the game, with groundbreaking developments happening every day. The newly coined term smart charging, is …
The Smappee family of EV line chargers has just grown bigger and even more stylish with the addition of the brand-new Smappee EV One. Joining the award-winning range of Smappee EV Line chargers, the EV One adds a new dimension to what is already the most intelligent EV charging out there.

Smappee strongly believes in developing long-lasting relationships not only with clients, but also with manufacturers and other suppliers. Even better if those relationships are also based on making society a stronger and better place, such as the collaboration with social enterprise and manufacturer WAAK. WAAK’s dedication to providing employment to those who find it difficult …
The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is the standard language used by charging stations and payment backends to exchange information about charging sessions. With most manufacturers, this exchange happens locally, but Smappee has taken an innovative approach by putting a smart cloud between its chargers and third-party payment backends. The cloud provides an encrypted connection …
A while ago we discussed the concept of auto-consumption and how it’s becoming more important in saving energy and enabling the decentralized smart grid. Many people with solar PV are looking into using energy management systems -such as Smappee- to get insights in and eventually also get control over their energy to optimize their self-consumption. …
Many people are looking for ways to optimize their auto consumption. Meaning, they want to use all -or at least as much as possible- of their own produced solar power. That’s good for their wallet, the environment and it’s the way forward to facilitate the smart grid. Smappee users can use Smappee’s dynamic load-balancing technology …
Switching to an electric or hybrid fleet is in full swing at companies. The traditional fuel card is gradually being replaced by a charging card, but that has an important consequence that’s not always considered beforehand: the correct settlement of employees’ charging costs. Smappee has an in-house solution for this that will be music to …
The breakthrough of solar energy has been nothing short of impressive over the past decade. Moreover, technological evolution ensures that solar energy is used more and more optimally and, therefore, more cost-effectively. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G for short) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) are two important examples of this evolution, with the charging station serving as a central regulator …
The Smappee Infinity system allows users to further optimise their energy consumption. The perfectly thought-out modularity ensures you can always adapt energy management to your own needs. Communication is the key word here. In this blog post, we will tell you which cloud communication modules are available and what their possibilities are. Two own gateways …
There was a time when a charging station did not really create any significant added value for the user. It’s a shame, because a smart charging station makes it possible to make optimal use of the many possibilities of modern energy systems. Smappee’s smart charging stations are a true leader in this approach. A mere …
