The Chinese company Elecq promises flexible distribution of charging power when charging an electric car. Including feeding it back into the grid.

The Shenzhen-based company "ELECQ" is launching AC wall boxes and DC fast-charging stations on the German market in May. At its heart is dynamic load management with better utilization of the charging points; with the hardware developed in-house, the devices can also be installed cost-effectively and operated in a maintenance-friendly manner.

The company's charging products are characterized in particular by "zero granularity", a concept that enables flexible and efficient use of charging power. While conventional systems usually divide the energy into fixed units such as 25 kW per module, the hardware allows the energy to be distributed in individual kilowatts, which enables a finer adjustment to the charging requirements, according to the company.

Another feature of Elecq technology is dynamic load management. This system adjusts the charging power during the charging process, for example when a vehicle is almost fully charged and only requires a small amount of power. Conventional systems often statically favor the last connected vehicle in such cases, which reduces efficiency.

Elecq complements the hardware with a comprehensive range of software. This includes an app for end users, a "partner" app for installers and a cloud solution for the remote management of charging infrastructure. The latter makes it possible to plan installations, configure devices, analyze charging data and carry out remote diagnostics in the event of faults, among other things.

In addition, all Elecq products are equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which makes it possible to feed electricity from the vehicle back into the grid. "Our solutions are specially tailored to the requirements of the European markets," explains Simon Wan, founder and CEO of Elecq.
