Video: Excess PV charging explained

Contents

PV excess charging | Installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on your roof allows you to generate not only power for your home or the grid. Solar electric energy can also go directly to your electric vehicle - and thereby significantly shorten the amortisation period of a PV system by reducing charging costs. We explain what PV excess charging is exactly and how it works.

As every year the German ADAC as well as and the Austrian ÖAMTC tested twelve charging stations for electric cars: half of the wallboxes put through their paces were not recommended. The KEBA KeContact P30 charging station received an overall rating of 1.3 (judgement: very good) and is therefore recommended without restriction by the two mobility clubs!

Is it worth having a wallbox for my plug-in hybrid (PHEV)?

With modern plug-in hybrids, distances of up to 90 kilometers can be achieved purely electrically. That is usually enough for the commute to work or other everyday journeys. All the same, the batteries of these PHEVs are significantly smaller than those of purely battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). So, is a household socket sufficient for daily charging or does it still make sense to have a charging station?

Test the new KEBA eMobility App (beta) now

The KEBA eMobility App will be available for download in the App Stores in just a few weeks. We are looking for testers so that it will then work perfectly for all KEBA wallbox users.
