Charging your electric vehicle at home helps you save time and money\u2014 especially when the charging process is intelligently integrated into your home energy system. At the 3rd E-Mobility Plugfest hosted by the EEBUS Initiative<\/a> at the Audi plant in Brussels, communication between the charging infrastructure and other energy generators and consumers was put to the test. The event was attended by SMA employees Bo L\u00f8nborg M\u00fcller and Matthias Groene. We spoke to them about what\u2019s new in the world of e-mobility. <\/strong><\/p>\n

For the third time ever, energy management and e-mobility experts gathered to test their latest developments and how their components interact. What makes the Plugfest so special? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Matthias<\/strong>: For me, there are two key aspects that make the EEBUS Plugfest so interesting. One aspect is technical in nature. The companies bring their devices with them so that they can \u201ctalk\u201d to each another. For example, they connect charging stations and chargers in a network and then check whether they understand each another. If problems arise, they have to clarify whether that\u2019s because of how the EEBUS specification has been implemented or maybe because the specification is ambiguous. The second aspect is that, at an EEBUS Plugfest, it\u2019s not only the devices that are networked, but also the people who otherwise speak only on the phone and meet only rarely or not at all.<\/p>\n

Bo: <\/strong>The Plugfests give us the opportunity to share ideas, discuss potential partnerships and learn how we can enhance and refine our products and services. Whatever happens, we always come away with lots of exciting new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
