TMH cooperates with SAP E-Mobility for better charging management

The Munich-based electromobility specialist The Mobility has integrated another component into its system for load management. The ChargePilot software was successfully integrated with the SAP E-Mobility solution in an initial test, the provider announced. Further steps to establish a collaboration in the field of electromobility are planned. SAP E-Mobility is a new industry cloud solution for operating a connected charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The solution aims to set new standards in end-to-end management and billing of charging processes for electric vehicle fleets. As part of the integration, SAP's cloud-based solution communicates via an encrypted OCPP connection with the intelligent and manufacturer-neutral load and energy management system ChargePilot, as the provider specifies. This integration enables companies to comfortably integrate the setup, operation, and management of charging infrastructure into SAP applications. This allows fleet managers of electric fleets to work smoothly, across systems and therefore holistically, the company continues. The goal is a complementary system infrastructure as a basis for the long-term and sustainable operation of electric fleet vehicles.

The complementary products and services aim to support corporate customers in various steps of electrification, from consulting to setup, to intelligent control and integration of the charging infrastructure through ChargePilot. For example, the reimbursement of private electricity costs when charging a company car at home can be done through SAP Concur's travel expense accounting. Both companies also rely on a manufacturer-neutral approach to charging stations to ensure the future-proofing of their respective electromobility solutions, it is further stated.

V2G as a future use case

Moreover, with the further spread of bidirectional electric vehicles, future use cases like Vehicle to Grid will come into focus. Here too, the synergy potential of the two companies is to be leveraged.

"Electromobility will be one of the quick and decisive CO2 reduction levers for companies in the future. Therefore, its integration must be efficient and cost-effective. With SAP, we have another strong partner at our side with whom we not only share our goal of a sustainable future but will also advance the intelligent integration of electric vehicles into existing systems and processes," says Marcus Fendt, Managing Director of The Mobility House.

The Munich-based load and energy management system enables smart control and integration of charging stations into existing infrastructure. This avoids grid expansion and costly peak loads. Depending on the application case, this could save up to 70 percent of charging costs or an average of 250 EUR per charging point per year, the provider advertises.
