We show you why you, as an e-mobility provider, absolutely need dynamic load management and what makes our ChargeUp solution so special (Part 1).
What exactly is dynamic load management and why do you need it as an e-mobility provider?
Imagine charging several vehicles at the same time in a parking garage. Today, with the advance of e-mobility, this is a completely normal everyday occurrence. This quickly results in a high charging power requirement. One of the key challenges when setting up a charging infrastructure is therefore the provision of charging power for multiple users.
This requires what is known as load management. This ensures that the required charging power is intelligently distributed to the various vehicles using various optimization algorithms so that the maximum amount of power is always available. Ideally, the available charging power is allocated according to the desired departure times and charging requirements.
However, users can also choose what their needs are and whether they are willing to pay a surcharge for a higher priority, for example.
Dynamic load management (DLM) is therefore an intelligent solution developed for the energy management of a multiple charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. DLM manages the available power and balances it efficiently between the chargers.
And what advantages do you benefit from as an e-mobility provider?
Whether at public charging stations, in multi-storey parking lots, for vehicle fleets, for charging stations at work or at home – optimizing energy distribution in an EV charging infrastructure brings decisive advantages:
- No grid overloads! Optimize the charging of electric vehicles by automatically providing the maximum available power at all times. Exceeding the available energy is avoided to prevent additional costs and power outages.
- Minimize operating costs! With dynamic load management and the associated savings in operating costs, you will amortize the investment costs in your electrical infrastructure within a short time.
- Remote monitoring! You can monitor the DLM functions remotely in real time and view all information on the system's total electricity consumption.
- Use the installed base by operating existing and new charging stations via one and the same platform – investment protection & minimization of operating costs!
But what makes our DLM from ChargeUp so special?
With our DLM module of the charging solution from our technology partner ChargeUp, charging stations from different manufacturers can be optimized in parking garages or across networks. Users, tariffs and management can be managed. And all without any additional hardware, i.e. purely software-based!
Our DLM system can be used very flexibly and can be configured according to your needs.

And this is how it works...
With just a few simple steps, you can insert the floor plan of your parking garage and generate an attractive visualization of the charging situation in your building.
Cables, sections and floors can be arranged and visualized according to the situation and displayed in more detail and in individual images using an overview map. The view is interactive, which makes configuration and operation much easier. And the limit values for the individual elements can also be set dynamically. It makes no difference whether the charging stations are private AC or public DC charging stations or a combination of the two.
In part 2 of our «dynamic load management» series, we will show you the advantages of an open platform and the compatibility of our ChargeUp solution. Stay tuned!
