Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most important questions about charging infrastructure, energy, and electrification of truck fleets.
Charging infrastructure for businesses
Why is professional charging infrastructure important?
Smart charging infrastructure cuts costs, ensures a reliable power supply, and enables efficient charging of fleet vehicles.
What's the difference between depot charging and public charging?
Depot charging at your own site is usually less expensive than public charging, because grid charges and charging windows can be optimized deliberately.
Depot charging and fleet power
How many charge points does my depot need?
The number of charge points depends on driving profiles, dwell times, and the charging power you need. nanuq develops a tailored solution from those factors.
What is load management?
Load management distributes charging power so overloads are avoided, charging times stay coordinated, and energy costs fall.
Is depot charging worthwhile for smaller fleets too?
Yes — depot charging pays off for smaller fleets too, especially combined with solar PV and battery storage.
Photovoltaics and battery storage
How can PV power be used for charging infrastructure?
Solar power is often much cheaper than grid electricity and can be used directly to charge your fleet.
Do I need battery storage?
Whether you need storage depends on your energy concept; in practice, intelligent control and batteries significantly increase how effectively solar power can serve your charging infrastructure.
Grid connection and transformer substations
When do I need my own transformer substation?
Your own transformer substation makes sense when you need high charging power and want to avoid grid bottlenecks and excessive grid charges.
How does nanuq plan the grid connection?
nanuq analyses available grid capacity and plans the connection to reduce load peaks and optimize operating costs.
Are there subsidies available?
Public funding is often available for grid connections and transformer infrastructure.
Service and maintenance
How often does charging infrastructure need maintenance?
We recommend annual maintenance and quarterly inspections of your charging infrastructure.
How does remote monitoring work?
Remote monitoring detects problems early. Many faults can be resolved remotely; technicians come on-site when needed.
Are there flexible service contracts?
Yes — nanuq offers flexible service contracts, especially for larger charging hubs.
