Charging Electric Cars at Home

In a world increasingly turning towards sustainable solutions, electric vehicles are becoming more popular. However, one of the most pressing questions among electric vehicle owners is—what is the most efficient way to charge your vehicle at home? Fortunately, the solution comes in the form of SoltiQ, an autonomous mobile solar charger that allows you to charge your electric vehicles without additional electricity costs. In this blog, we will explore all the benefits of SoltiQ, explain how it works, and why it is a better choice compared to traditional grid-connected chargers.

Why Choose SoltiQ?

Free Charging Thanks to Solar Power

  • One of the biggest advantages of SoltiQ is that it uses solar energy to charge your vehicles. This means you can charge your electric car, electric scooter, or electric bike completely free of charge. Traditional grid-connected chargers increase your electricity bill, while SoltiQ uses a renewable energy source, making it an extremely cost-effective solution in the long run, especially for environmentally conscious drivers.

Easy Installation and Minimal Space Requirements

  • SoltiQ is designed to take up minimal space, with dimensions of 2.5 meters in height, 2.3 meters in width, and 4.5 meters in length, weighing 2,000 kilograms. This means it can be placed in a standard parking space in front of your house. A flat, sturdy surface is sufficient, making installation quick and easy without the need for additional construction work or complicated connections.

High Efficiency and Charging Capacity

  • SoltiQ offers a maximum solar charging power of 2,200 W and a maximum charging power of 10 kW, allowing for fast charging of your vehicle. Additionally, SoltiQ can store up to 57.6 kWh of energy in its batteries, which means you can charge your vehicle even when the sun isn't shining. This is extremely important for those who want to ensure they always have enough energy for their vehicle regardless of weather conditions.

Advantages Over Traditional Chargers

Environmental Sustainability

  • One of SoltiQ's key advantages is its environmental sustainability. Traditional chargers that use grid electricity are often powered by fossil fuels, increasing CO2 emissions. On the other hand, SoltiQ uses clean, renewable solar energy, reducing your carbon footprint. According to a 2022 study, an average electric vehicle using solar energy can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 3.6 tons annually compared to a fossil fuel vehicle.

Financial Savings

  • Using SoltiQ can save you significant money in the long term. Traditional chargers increase your electricity costs, while SoltiQ offers free charging through solar energy. Considering the rising cost of electricity, switching to SoltiQ can result in considerable financial savings. For example, an average electric vehicle owner might spend between 500 and 1,000 euros annually on grid electricity for charging, which can be completely eliminated with SoltiQ.

Reliability and Independence

  • SoltiQ provides greater reliability and independence compared to traditional chargers. Regardless of potential power outages or fluctuations in electricity prices, SoltiQ allows you to continually charge your vehicles. This is especially important for those living in areas with unstable power supplies, which is particularly relevant in summer months for many tourist spots on the Adriatic coast and Croatian islands.

How to Use SoltiQ at Home

Installation and Setup

  • Installing SoltiQ is straightforward and can be done without professional help. All you need is a sturdy surface of a free parking space where SoltiQ will be placed. Its dimensions ensure it fits easily into most standard driveways.

Charging Process

  • Using SoltiQ is simple. Once the charger is set up, you only need to connect your vehicle to SoltiQ using a standard charging cable. SoltiQ will automatically start charging your vehicle using stored solar energy. With its storage capacity of 57.6 kWh, you can be sure your vehicle will always be ready to drive.

Maintenance and Care

  • SoltiQ is designed to require low maintenance. The solar panels and the entire construction of SoltiQ are durable and weather-resistant, including withstand winds up to 150 kilometers per hour or snow loads of 50 kilograms per square meter. The batteries have a long lifespan and come with a 2-year warranty. Regular cleaning of the solar panels and occasional checking of the batteries will ensure optimal operation of your SoltiQ charger during the 2-year warranty period.

Charging electric cars at home has never been easier or more cost-effective than with SoltiQ, the autonomous mobile solar charger. It not only allows free charging thanks to solar energy but is also environmentally sustainable, financially advantageous, and easy to use. Investing in SoltiQ means not only saving money but also contributing to environmental preservation for future generations. If you’re looking for a reliable and economical way to charge your electric vehicle at home, SoltiQ is the perfect solution for you.
