Power2Drive 2024: Charge Amps Follow Up

At Charge Amps, Falco Lausecker, the Managing Director of Charge Amps Germany, was already waiting for us. The passionate 400-meter runner, who has competed in the Olympics and was once the second fastest at the German Indoor Championships, remains ambitious even if he has to slow down a bit: because the sustainable development of a charging infrastructure brand takes time and only works step by step.

He first had to convince his Scandinavian parent company that a legally compliant charging solution was absolutely necessary for the German (and subsequently Austrian) market. After the load balancing “Guard,” which is installed in the control cabinet and can be linked to the charging station via the Charge Amps Cloud to enable load balancing, they are now also focusing on specific German topics such as legal compliance and even simpler and faster installation.

For this purpose, Lausecker brought along the Charge Amps Flex, a "black box" that acts as a "placeholder" like with other manufacturers. Lausecker also notes that more and more customers, especially in the commercial sector and in multi-family homes, tend to fully pre-install without equipping all spaces with charging options right away. Lausecker explains from his practical experiences:

“By now, at least the pre-installation of charging infrastructure is considered a given and in existing properties, it increases the value of the real estate.”

This is why they are responding with appropriate offers, even though he discreetly criticizes the fact that Europe still does not have unified regulations for charging infrastructure. After all, Charge Amps places extreme importance not only on the technology but also on production, which uses largely recycled aluminum and is carried out as sustainably as possible.
