Etecnic was named as finalist of the The smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Category "E-Mobility" for the application of its Smart Pricing.
Etecnic’s EVcharge Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, with its new smart pricing feature, enables CPOs to monitor and manage their charging stations through a single, backend system platform. Renewable energies (RE) cause significant fluctuations in electricity prices on the electricity market, which is why it is traded on day-ahead or intraday markets. This is in contrast to the usually fixed (and usually comparatively high) electricity prices that electric vehicle users experience at charging stations and customers do not currently benefit from the fact that the feed-in of renewable electricity sometimes actually results in very low electricity prices. It is possible, however, that electric car customers will charge their vehicles at precisely those times when electricity is relatively expensive. Etecnic’s smart pricing module calculates the end customer’s electricity price based on a variety of conditions. These do not only include renewable energy generation, but also expected customer demand and the utilization of any backup batteries that may be located at a charging park. “Smart Pricing” enables end customers to take advantage of dynamic electricity prices. The module is free of charge for operators.
