Smappee offers a solution for French companies and fleet managers: recharging management and energy efficiency in a single ecosystem
Paris, 6 February 2025 - European climate targets and local legislation are accelerating the transition to electric vehicles for French businesses, creating new financial and operational challenges. Efficient charging and energy management are now key concerns for businesses. At Flotauto, Smappee will be presenting its advanced, fully integrated charging solution that simplifies the electrification of fleets while optimising energy use. From hardware to software to expert support, Smappee offers a unified ecosystem that gives fleet managers a complete overview and control of their EV transition, maximising energy efficiency and integrating solar power for sustainable charging.
An all-in-one charging solution for businesses
Featuring Smappee's advanced energy intelligence, the award-winning Smappee EV Line seamlessly integrates AC and DC charging into a single system. This enables businesses to efficiently manage a mixed charging infrastructure, whether for corporate fleets, employee home charging or public access. With integrated dynamic load balancing, peak shaving and solar optimisation, Smappee EV Line maximises energy efficiency while reducing operating costs.
Charging sessions are easily initiated using a QR code, RFID chip or smart charging programmes, ensuring smooth operation for corporate fleets and employees charging at home or at work. The Smappee app and dashboard provide a complete overview, allowing businesses to prioritise charging, reimburse employees for home charging costs through split billing, and even open charging stations to the public for additional revenue streams. Real-time software updates ensure that the system is always up to date and eliminate maintenance issues.
‘We provide fleet managers with a complete and scalable charging solution that facilitates the adoption of EVs,’ says Stefan Baetens, Regional Sales Director for France. ‘Beyond the hardware, our intelligent software offers an intuitive dashboard, tailored support services and advanced features such as split billing. And thanks to our modular approach, businesses can start small and grow as their needs change. This gives them a cost-effective, future-proof charging solution.’
Truly intelligent recharging - at work and at home
With new regulations requiring charging stations for electric vehicles and solar shelters for large car parks, the need for intelligent energy management is now essential for French businesses.
Smappee offers complete control over the charging process and the energy consumption of both the charging infrastructure and the building. Its advanced cascaded overload protection not only saves up to 25% in installation costs, but also prevents fuse tripping, charging interruptions and costly electrical upgrades, even in buildings with multiple circuit breakers.
‘At Smappee, we design charging stations that evolve with energy needs, making EV charging faster, more cost-effective and more sustainable,’ says Baetens. ‘Smappee's smart charging stations reduce fleet charging costs by up to 50% by adapting to the lowest grid tariffs, avoiding capacity tariffs and maximising the use of solar energy through AI-driven sunshine forecasts and dynamic phase switching.’
Reliable technology, durable design
Smappee charging stations are renowned for their minimalist, award-winning design. Sustainability is taken into account at every stage of the Smappee EV Line development process. The chargers are not only sustainable in their function, but also in their design. They are made from 100% multi-recyclable aluminium and, as only recycled cardboard is used, even the packaging is sustainable.
Smappee is an experienced leader in intelligent energy management and charging solutions for electric vehicles. All hardware and software is developed in-house, guaranteeing perfect integration, maximum reliability and optimum performance. With more than 60,000 charging points in Belgium and over 11 million charging sessions in Europe, Smappee is extending its presence in France through a strong network of partners.
French installers can obtain Smappee certification through the Smappee Academy, giving them access to specialist training, professional support and a strong network. This guarantees companies a smooth installation process and reliable after-sales service.
