Discover the benefits of electromobility and learn how to connect charging infrastructure to the Network.
At HEDNO, we support your transition to electromobility by facilitating the connection of charging infrastructure. Here, you’ll find all the information and instructions you need for the connection process to the Network.
Driving pleasure: Instant acceleration and silent operation offer a unique driving experience.
Driving calm: Enjoy a smoother, quieter ride. Charging time also offers an opportunity for personal downtime.
Cost savings: Thanks to lower maintenance requirements and generous government incentives, electric vehicles are becoming a more cost-effective choice.
Sustainability: With zero emissions, electric vehicles help reduce air pollution and noise, contributing to a healthier environment.
Suitable for everyday use: A typical range of around 300 km—often more with certain models. Charging stations are widely available in cities and along major roads.
Diverse vehicle options: A broad selection of models is available to meet every lifestyle, from compact city cars to spacious, multi-purpose vehicles.
Electromobility offers a variety of options for every mobility need. Today, there is a large number of electric cars, motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles. Regarding cars, consumers can choose among different technologies:
Hybrid vehicles: They combine an electric motor with an internal combustion engine, offering an intermediate step toward electromobility.
Full electric vehicles: They operate exclusively on electric energy, thanks to an integrated battery located at the car’s base.
Fuel cell vehicles: They use hydrogen to generate electricity, ensuring long range. Hydrogen is stored in a high-pressure tank within the vehicle.
The performance and driving range of electric vehicles largely depend on battery technology, capacity, and individual usage patterns. Below are examples of typical charging systems and the estimated time required to fully recharge the battery:
Charging Time by Charging Power
The time required to charge your battery depends not only on the software of the charging station but primarily on its power. Here you can see the differences in charging times.
Reference scenario: Charging a 58kWh battery from 20% to 80% of its maximum capacity.
Electric vehicle (EV) charging is performed through different types of current and connections, offering flexibility and options depending on your needs.
AC (Alternating Current) Charging
AC charging is based on electricity supplied from the network and converted to direct current (DC) by the vehicle’s onboard charger.
Key characteristics:
DC (Direct Current) Charging
Electricity is delivered directly to a device—such as an electric vehicle or battery—in the form of direct current (DC).
DC charging bypasses the vehicle’s onboard charger and delivers power directly to the battery, enabling significantly faster charging times.
Key characteristics:
Examples of DC fast chargers include Tesla Superchargers, CHAdeMO, and CCS (Combined Charging System).
CCS Connector (Combo 2) The CCS (Combined Charging System) is the most widespread connector type in Europe. It supports both AC and DC charging, making it highly versatile for all charger types.
Charging power: From 11kw to 350kw
Type 2 Connector The Type 2 Connector is the standard plug for AC charging in Europe, covering single-phase and three-phase alternating current networks.
Charging power: From 3.7 kW to 11 kW
CHAdeMO CHAdeMO is an older DC fast-charging system developed in Japan. While still in use, it is less supported at European charging stations.
Charging power: From 100kW.
Advantage: Allows 80% battery charge in 15–30 minutes.
Constraint: Decreasing support at European stations.
