Charger power and connectors
Define nominal charger power and the number of connectors per charging site.
Inputs are validated at the project boundary before simulation.
Business EV charging
Support the client's charging plan before cables are installed.
Link every charging site to a client profile and simulate it with building load, PV, battery storage and the grid connection.

The problem — The solution
The problem
Maximum charger power is often treated as a permanent peak.
Arrival times, occupancy, building load and local generation determine which intervals are actually critical.
- Charging site separated from building load
- No profile per charging asset
- Battery or PV treated as a separate business case
The solution
Model charging infrastructure as part of the whole site.
Configure charger power and connectors, link the correct profile and compare charging strategies as explicit scenarios.
- Unique profile per EV charging asset
- Interaction with building, PV and battery
- Peak and financial outcome per scenario
From chargers to site impact
Connection capacity means little without charging times.
Configure charger power and connectors, link the correct profile and compare charging strategies as explicit scenarios.
One profile per charging asset
Link measured or planned charging demand to the correct charging site in the topology.
With multiple charging sites, every channel remains linked to its own asset.
Interaction at the connection
See how EV charging coincides with building load, PV generation and battery dispatch.
Grid import and peak demand use the same interval timeline.
Scenarios with financial context
Compare charging profiles and asset assumptions across energy, grid impact and costs.
Outcomes follow from configured tariffs and financial inputs.The calculation basis stays visible.
Every conclusion remains attached to the resolution, limits and inputs that determine it.
15 min
charging intervals
Charging demand and site load share the same interval timeline.
2
profile units
Charging profiles can use kW or kWh per interval.
1:1
profile mapping
Each EV channel belongs to one charging asset in the topology.
How it works
Test a client charging plan in three steps.
Build the site profile
Import building load and add the connection, PV and existing assets.
Connect the charging plan
Configure charging sites and link every charging profile to the correct asset.
Compare charging scenarios
Assess peak demand, energy flows and financial outcomes for each variant.
Illustrative decision case
An adviser expands a fleet without treating the charging peak as fixed.
An adviser helps a fictional service fleet electrify more vehicles at a site with PV and limited import capacity.
In the scenario
- Building profile
- Profile per charging site
- PV profile
- Import limit
- Alternative charging windows
What becomes visible
The charging peak depends on arrival times and building load, not only on installed charger power.
Decision direction
Compare adjusted charging windows first, then test battery storage against the remaining peak.
This is a fictional example, not a customer result or savings claim. Outcomes depend on the entered charging profile.Illustrative decision case

Specific questions, answered directly.
Do I need measured charging data?
A measured profile provides the strongest basis. For a planned site, you can link a supported forecast profile as long as its assumptions and units are explicit.
Does PeakPilot automatically optimize smart charging?
PeakPilot compares the charging profiles you provide as scenarios. Model an adjusted charging strategy as an explicit profile, not as hidden optimization.
Can I model multiple charging sites?
Yes. Each charging site has its own asset and profile channel, preserving the origin of charging demand.
Can EV charging be simulated with PV and battery storage?
Yes. The topology supports EV charging, PV, battery storage, site load and the grid connection in one scenario.
Which financial outcomes are available?
Reports use configured contracts and asset assumptions for costs, cash flows and decision indicators. The result is not a return guarantee.
