KEBA's Stefan Richter Highlights Advancements in E-Mobility Charging Solutions and Future Innovations at Industry Event

Stefan Richter, representing KEBA from Linz, Austria, discusses the company's evolution since 1968 into three main business segments: industrial automation (including energy transition technologies like wind turbines), handover automation (such as parcel stations and cash recyclers), and energy automation focused on heating controls for biomass and heat pumps. He highlights KEBA's expansion in e-mobility within Europe and Asia by enhancing their portfolio with AC/DC charging solutions ranging from 4 to 480 kilowatts. Emphasizing fast DC charging for convenience during short stops, he notes Europe's shortage of charge points but stresses that different use cases require varied power levels—like lower-power AC charging at hotels or restaurants. Stefan underscores improvements in seamlessness of current high-quality chargers while focusing on user experience enhancements such as payment ease via credit cards—which have seen increased adoption—and robust support services including predictive maintenance. Lastly, he invites attendees to explore future innovations incorporating AI-based communication at KEBA’s booth.

Talk of session: Safe and User-Friendly Charging Infrastructure is More Than Just a Socket

Charging Infrastructure at Its Limit - Think Ahead or Fall Behind!A functioning charging infrastructure is the key to making electromobility a success in the mass market. Reliable and secure charging solutions determine wh+D32ether charging networks remain stable, profitable, and future-proof.Does security start at the payment terminal at the charging station, the electric vehicle, or the power grid? What happens if operators can future-proof their charging networks with a simple software update - or get left behind? How can manufacturers cut costs with open-source solutions without compromising security and performance? And what does Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (§14a EnWG) mean in practice - a curse or an opportunity for grid operators?
