The data on the battery state of charge and the remaining range come directly from the vehicle itself. Data is displayed in the following applications: Map, Uptime

The charging station communicates directly with the Daimler Truck backend via its SIM card or cable connection. Communication is based on OCPP 1.6 standard.

For the entire charging station. This then distributes the power depending on the absorption capacity of the vehicles, which are, if necessary, plugged in at the same time via several connections.
