Deutsche Telekom and Envision Digital recently announced their partnership to deliver a charging solution for electric vehicles (EVs) in Germany.
The new solution, which enables EV drivers to charge their cars quickly at private parking spaces, is based on Envision Digital’s all-in-one package 'Charging by EnOSTM' and combines hardware, software, installation, and an electricity tariff with 100 % green energy.
Where necessary, installation can be provided by Deutsche Telekom engineers, who are also responsible for service.
Deutsche Telekom also provides the SIM card and IP-VPN solution. This virtual private network protects the data, e.g., when it is transferred to Envision’s AIoT (artificial intelligence of things) software. The software analyzes the charging point data and optimizes it using algorithms.
The smart 11kW charger is no bigger than a briefcase and can easily be attached to a wall. It charges the car five times faster than a conventional power socket and prevents overloading. The user can also use a smartphone app, which not only provides security authentication, but also up-to-date statistics on the charging process and green energy consumption.
The charger communicates with the EnOSTM AIoT platform via the wireless network. EnOS stands for Energy Operating System and is a platform that links up around 70 million IoT (Internet of Things) sensors worldwide, enabling lasting energy efficiency gains.

Envision Digital focuses on charging solutions for individuals and fleets. Many EV owners are looking for the convenience of charging their vehicles where they sleep, work, and enjoy leisure activities. Charging by EnOS, supported by Deutsche Telekom, will bolster the number of charging points at our real-life destinations.

Deutsche Telekom provides the connection to the IoT platform as well as on-site service, and secure connectivity. We are thus able to complement public e-charging with a solution for private households. And, in Envision Digital, we found the perfect partner for best-in-class green technology.
