Intelligent DC charging with EPEX-connected optimisation

DC charging is not always about speed 

DC charging is often associated with immediate full-power charging. But in many real-world environments, that level of urgency is not always necessary. 

In depot operations, vehicles frequently remain parked for extended periods overnight, during loading windows or between delivery routes. That creates flexibility. 

Instead of reacting instantly to the moment a vehicle is plugged in, charging can follow the operational rhythm of the site. Vehicles need to be ready on time and not necessarily charged as fast as possible. 

This creates opportunities to use energy more strategically and avoid unnecessary charging peaks across the site. 

Charging that adapts to your operations 

With intelligent DC charging, EV Ultra adapts charging behaviour to the reality of your operations. 

Charging sessions can consider departure times, available charging windows, site capacity and dynamic energy conditions. Where flexibility exists, charging can be spread more intelligently over time instead of concentrating all demand at the same moment. 

The result is better control over energy usage, lower exposure to peak pricing and more efficient use of available site capacity, especially in environments where multiple vans or trucks charge simultaneously. 

EPEX-connected charging for DC infrastructure 

For businesses working with dynamic energy tariffs, EV Ultra can also align charging behaviour with EPEX pricing conditions. 

When operational flexibility allows, charging sessions can automatically shift towards more favourable energy moments. Particularly in depot environments, this creates new opportunities to control charging costs more intelligently without compromising vehicle availability. 

Because smart charging is not only about delivering power. It is also about deciding when energy is used. 

Part of a broader energy ecosystem 

EV Ultra operates within the broader Smappee energy ecosystem, connecting AC charging, DC charging, load management, energy monitoring and smart charging services in one connected environment. 

This gives businesses more visibility and control over how energy is used across the entire site. Charging no longer acts as an isolated activity, but as part of a coordinated energy strategy. 

Fast when needed. Smart when possible. 

DC charging remains essential in operationally critical moments. But where time is available, charging can also become more intelligent. 

That means using power where it matters most, avoiding unnecessary peaks and aligning charging with the operational reality of the site. 

Because intelligent charging is not limited to AC infrastructure. It also applies to DC charging environments.
