Situation
Priority charging
Distribute your charging capacity between multiple electric vehicles. Instead of giving all cars the same charging power, prioritize specific vehicles or sessions.
Priority for the right vehicles
Visitors to a store, office building, or visitor center often stay only briefly, but still want to leave with a charged battery. By giving higher priority to charging points in visitor spots, you ensure they always charge quickly and sufficiently, even when the charging area is busy. This way, charging becomes part of the guest experience instead of a source of frustration.
When is priority charging relevant?
Priority charging is particularly useful in situations where not every vehicle has the same charging needs:
- Logistical locations with fixed parking spots, where specific vehicles always get priority based on their location
- VIP parking spots or fast-charging zones for visitors or customers with a short stay
- Locations where you, as a manager, do not continuously want to intervene, but still want the right vehicles to automatically get priority
Chargepoint-based priority
Giving priority to a charging station
Visitors to a store, office building, or visitor center often stay only briefly, but still want to leave with a charged battery. To provide a premium experience, you can give priority to the charging points at visitor parking spaces. This makes prioritizing a charging station not only functional but also a part of customer-oriented service.
When to use this?
- Priority is location-bound, e.g., logistical vehicles with fixed spots
- VIP parking spots or fast-charging zones for example for customers
- Situations where you as a manager do not want to continuously intervene
Session-based priority
Giving priority to charging sessions
The manager of a charging area rarely sees that parking occurs at the most ideal spots. Visitors and employees park where there is space, not necessarily at the charging station that gets priority. In these situations, it's possible to prioritize specific sessions. Each charging point thus becomes flexible. You assign the capacity in the Maxem Energy Cloud to the session that needs it the most at that moment.
You want your account managers to be out as much as possible, meeting with customers. When they are at the office, it's often shorter than their colleagues and they need to be able to get on their way quickly. In such a situation, you can prioritize the charging sessions of your account managers.
When to use this?
- Locations where charging demand depends on trip planning, e.g., which driver needs to go out first?
- Situations where vehicles do not always park in fixed spots
- Dynamic fleets with changing priorities
- When you as a manager want to actively manage based on current operational needs.
