Opportunity charging is a charging process in which electric vehicle batteries are charged during short breaks. Instead of fully charging the battery, it is charged in small steps. This can be done along the route or in the depot. This increases the operating time, reduces the strain on the battery and cuts costs.
KIEPE offers various solutions for opportunity charging that are specifically tailored to the needs of public and commercial transportation. Here are some of the main offerings:
- Mobile k.Charger Container: a high-power mobile charging system that can charge electric buses at up to 800 kW in just a few minutes.
- Modular platforms: These enable flexible and scalable charging infrastructures that can be adapted to different requirements.
- Modernization and retrofitting: Kiepe also offers solutions for modernizing existing charging infrastructures, from simple cable replacements to complete retrofits.
These offerings help transport companies to maximize the efficiency and availability of their e-bus fleets.
