Audi connects the electric car with the house
15 Jun 2018|1,109 views
Audi is taking the idea of electric mobility beyond the automobile in offering its customers a tailor-made system offering. To that end, the brand is teaming up with two new partners to connect its electric model Audi e-tron with the user's home infrastructure. Intelligent interaction with home energy management systems from SMA Solar Technology and the Hager Group enables cost-optimised charging - including using sustainable photovoltaic power if desired.
With the connect charging system and a suitably equipped home energy management system, the customer can use variable electricity tariffs to charge the Audi e-tron. This system can charge the battery when electricity is less expensive while simultaneously considering individual mobility requirements, such as departure time and charge level. If the home is equipped with a photovoltaic system, the customer can optimise the charging process to prefer the electricity generated by the system for charging the Audi e-tron.
The intelligent charging function also protects the customer in the event of a blackout. The customer always charges with the maximum available capacity that the home electrical system and the car allow. The charging system also considers the power requirements of other consumers to avoid overloading the home electrical system and thus tripping the master breaker.
