Paris, June 23, 2021 — Objenious, Bouygues Telecom's IoT brand and Qovoltis, charging station operator, have signed a partnership as part of the launch of the innovative Qovoltis charging station solution, winner of the 2021 ACF AutoTech Grand Prix. Objenious supports Qovoltis in connecting its smart terminals thanks to integrated routers and facilitates the management of its fleet, with the Getway platform.
“We are delighted to support such an innovative player as Qovoltis in its deployment in France. The electric car market is booming and the need for charging stations is exponential, whether at the level of individuals, communities or the private sector.” declares Bernardo Cabrera, Director of Objenious. “Thanks to its expertise, its ability to offer customized solutions and its wide technological range, Objenious is the ideal partner for these innovative projects.”
To date, 300 Qovoltis terminals have been installed on the territory (single-family homes, car parks, etc.). Objenious ensures the connectivity of these terminals, and of the many others to come, thanks to a personalized offer in order to meet the business constraints specific to Qovoltis's activity.
“Qovoltis was created around a simple and structuring idea: how to succeed in satisfying the ever increasing number of users of electric vehicles, while maintaining the balance of the electrical network” specifies Ehsan Emami, President of Qovoltis. “To meet this double constraint, the Qovoltis teams have developed a system of algorithms using artificial intelligence techniques that control the most advanced charging stations on the market in real time, and always connected thanks to the most efficient IoT network, that of our partner Objenious.”
Smart charging stations
Available in wall version (Qobox) S) or in totem version (Qobox T), the Qovoltis charging station can recharge an electric vehicle in just 15 minutes to complete the 30 km daily required to meet the needs of users, or in 2.5 hours for a complete recharge of a city car equipped with a 50 kWh battery. In order to perfect the user experience, the terminal offers two modes: the “optimized” mode: the “optimized” mode, which will recharge at the best price for the user by focusing on off-peak hours when possible and the “fast” mode, which will use all the power available for a quick recharge. Its complex algorithm also allows it to optimize the distribution of charging power between the various vehicles in the same car park in order to avoid overloading the main meter.
In parallel, the Qovoltis application allows the user to follow the evolution of charging in real time, to modify or interrupt it according to his needs.
