Charging on my terms with the Fronius Wattpilot

The electric car charger for at home & on the road

Anyone considering an electric car or already driving one will of course also be thinking about the ideal charger. Important factors here include such aspects as autonomy and low costs. The intelligent Fronius Wattpilot charging solution offers flexibility, particularly low-cost charging options and many other practical features.

With the two versions for at home and on the road, every requirement is satisfied:

Wattpilot Home
The permanently mounted 11 kW charging solution for the home. It’s so easy to turn a simple socket into an intelligent charging station for the underground garage, carport or garage.
Wattpilot Go
Maximum autonomy with the mobile 11 or 22 kW charging solution for at home and on the road. The Wattpilot Go is a portable unit that allows you to charge your car using any socket when away from home, thanks to the optional adapter set. Simply plug in and start charging.

ECONOMICAL CHARGING WITH VARIABLE ELECTRICITY TARIFFS

To keep the operating costs of an electric car to a minimum, the electricity used for charging should be as economical as possible. This is possible with the Fronius Wattpilot and variable electricity tariffs*.

A variable electricity tariff is based on the flexible market prices for electricity. These prices are usually lower during the night when demand is reduced. With the Wattpilot and the corresponding app, you can charge your electric car when the electricity price is particularly low. Simply set the maximum price you wish to pay for charging and the intelligent charger does the rest.

* This feature is initially only available in Austria (aWattar Hourly) and Germany (Lumina Strom), although further countries are planned.

TOP UP YOUR OWN SOLAR POWER – WITH PV SURPLUS CHARGING

E-mobility makes a lot of sense for all those who have their own photovoltaic system, because running an electric car can be particularly sustainable and cost-effective if it is charged with self-generated solar power.

The Fronius Wattpilot ensures that the maximum possible amount of solar power that is currently not needed in the home is used for charging. With the help of PV surplus charging, the intelligent charging station draws even the smallest amounts of surplus solar power to charge the electric car.

This not only results in lower-cost charging, but also allows less of the solar power produced to flow unused into the public grid. A win-win situation thanks to higher PV self-consumption and a faster ROI of the PV system.

INTELLIGENT CHARGING MODES FOR MAXIMUM INDEPENDENCE

The Fronius Wattpilot also delivers maximum flexibility with its two charging modes. These can be set either directly on the device or via the Solar.wattpilot app.

ECO MODE

Eco Mode is the ideal charging mode for anyone who has their own photovoltaic system. In this mode, surplus energy from the PV system is primarily used for charging and electricity from flexible electricity tariffs is used for the remaining energy, if and when available. It’s simply not possible to charge an electric car more economically.

NEXT TRIP MODE

Next Trip Mode is always the right choice if you need to be sure of your planning when it comes to your next trip. In this mode, you can set when your car should be fully charged for a specific distance. The Wattpilot then charges the car with the required amount of energy by the desired time, using economical surplus PV, flexible electricity tariffs and ordinary mains current, depending on the alternatives available.

Fast & safe charging

The Wattpilot is available in a fixed and mobile version in the 11 kW and 22 kW power categories.

This means that electric cars can be charged quickly, safely and flexibly.

Solar.wattpilot app The Solar.wattpilot app makes charging even easier and allows charging modes to be changed and activated from anywhere. The clear display of the most important data means that you are always aware of the actual charge.

Participant identification Participant identification is primarily used in public areas. Only individuals with a valid card or chip are authorised to charge with the Wattpilot.

LED lightning The LED lighting provides indications such as the amperage with which the electric car is currently being charged. If all LEDs are green, the vehicle is fully charged.

Anti-theft device The Wattpilot can be secured, in order to protect the charger when charging in a carport or an underground car park, for example. Depending on the setting, it is not possible to disconnect the Type2 charging cable and the Wattpilot is protected against theft.

“Now that we have a Fronius Wattpilot that automatically selects the lowest electricity price, and a PV system that the Wattpilot can communicate with, we save about half the fuel costs of a car with an internal combustion engine.”

Electric car driver and Wattpilot user

TECHNOLOGY FOR GREATER SUSTAINABILITY

The Fronius Wattpilot is an important milestone for our vision of 24 hours of sun – a world with 100% renewable energy. It’s easy to explain why:

The Wattpilot promotes the use of emission-free mobility in order to significantly improve the climate.
With your own PV system and the Fronius Wattpilot, electric cars can be charged independently and sustainably.
Adjustable modes enable particularly resource-conserving charging.
