Technology

AC and DC charging plus the required electrical infrastructure — the technology background ALTE-GO builds its charging systems from.

AC

AC charging (Enelion portfolio)

AC charging is the most common solution for the daily charging of electric vehicles. It is ideal in residential, office and smaller public environments where the vehicle is parked for longer periods.

ALTE-GO solutions provide reliable and easily scalable AC charging infrastructure for a wide range of use cases.

How does AC charging work?
The charging equipment supplies alternating current to the vehicle, which the car onboard charger converts. This means that:
  • charging is slower, but gentler
  • it does not require high-power grid infrastructure
  • it is a more cost-efficient solution
When is AC charging the right choice?
  • when the car stays in one place for several hours
  • for vehicles in daily use
  • for home charging
  • for workplace car parks
  • for office buildings
  • for condominiums and underground garages
  • for hospitality venue car parks

Available solutions. ALTE-GO offers reliable AC charging equipment from several manufacturers. The Enelion Lumina is a reliable AC charger with a clean design, ideal for both residential and corporate use. Thanks to its compact size and intelligent features it fits detached houses, condominiums and car-park environments alike.

DC

DC chargers (heavy duty / hub)

DC (direct current) charging is a high-power solution for charging electric vehicles. It is ideal at locations where charging time is critical and vehicles stay at the charge point only briefly.

ALTE-GO DC charging solutions deliver high-power, reliable operation in corporate, logistics and public environments alike.

When is DC charging the right choice?
  • when vehicles turn around quickly
  • when short charging time is a business requirement
  • when high-mileage vehicles are involved
  • when public or semi-public charging is provided
What does DC charging mean?
The energy conversion takes place in the charging equipment rather than in the car, therefore:
  • significantly faster charging
  • higher power demand
  • more complex infrastructure

Technical considerations

Grid capacity

The available electrical power determines the number and rating of the chargers that can be installed.

Power distribution

With several chargers, dynamic distribution is needed to avoid overload.

Load profile

The usage pattern of the vehicles (e.g. overnight depot charging versus daytime fast charging) determines the system design.

Expandability

The system must remain upgradeable later on.

Operational benefits

  • charging time can be reduced significantly
  • vehicle availability can be increased
  • operation becomes more predictable from a business perspective

In DC charging projects the greatest added value is not the equipment itself, but the design of the system.

ALTE-GO supports its partners in the following areas:

  • site survey and technical concept
  • determining grid and power requirements
  • system design
  • construction
  • system integration
  • operation

Why ALTE-GO?

  • experience in complex charging projects
  • energy expertise (ALTEO)
  • system-level thinking
  • delivery from a single source

Grid integration (transformer, BESS)

Beyond installing the charging equipment, ALTE-GO also supports the design and construction of the required electrical infrastructure, taking available capacity and future expansion needs into account.

In certain cases the charging infrastructure can be complemented with a battery energy storage system. This makes it possible to:

  • reduce peak load
  • avoid significant grid reinforcement
  • optimise energy consumption
  • make system operation more stable
