We are preparing for the future
For Sweden to transition to fossil-free vehicles, investments in charging infrastructure are required. We are doing our part by making a major investment in a charging system from ChargeNode.
To utilize available power in the best way and provide all visitors with the desired charging when they need it, we have a smart queue system.
Can't we just charge all cars at the same time? Unfortunately not. At least not with full power since each property has a service cable that limits the available power, making it technically impossible. Moreover, the outlet is affected by what happens in the property throughout the day. And of course, how many cars are charging.
Our smart software optimizes and distributes available charging power based on the number of connected cars, departure times, the cars' charging capacity, and the desired charging. Those who need to leave first get charged first, while those who stay longer are charged later. But everyone gets to share in the charging, even if we cannot guarantee that your car will be fully charged by departure.
- All electric cars have different capabilities to receive charging. A pure electric car, for example, can receive charging faster than a hybrid.
- Load balancing. As we have already mentioned, the available power is crucial for how much charging you receive. And it varies throughout the day and how much the property's service cable can deliver.
- Our outlets can deliver a maximum of 7-22kw.
- Checked in the queue. This simply means that you are in the queue to get charging. Since you have entered when you are leaving, you will always get charging on time. So you do not need to worry if the charging does not start immediately.
“We have installed 25 outlets, distributed among some 7kwh and the rest 22 kwh, to meet today’s and tomorrow's needs. Hooks Herrgård, with roots dating back to the 1300s, has a limitation on how much power is available for electric car charging. ChargeNode was the obvious choice. Besides being more efficient, it blends in significantly better with our beautiful outdoor environment. We chose to mount the outlets in a granite beam,” comments Hans Edberg, CEO of Hooks Herrgård.
