Swarm should enable intelligent charging stations
The start-up smart-me from Rotkreuz has developed an intelligent charging station for electric cars. The funds required for mass production are now to be obtained through swarm financing.
With Pico, the company smart-me has developed a new charging station for electric vehicles. This connects to the cloud via the local WLAN or cellular network. This makes the station intelligent and can, for example, easily be coupled with a solar system, as a message shows. The operator can decide for himself when and at what price vehicles can be charged at the station.
Overall, Pico should make the installation of charging stations more attractive. As a result, previously undeveloped areas should also receive a charging infrastructure. In addition, electric cars are good buyers of locally produced solar power, emphasizes smart-me.
To finance the mass production of the charging station, smart-me started a swarm financing campaign on Kickstarter on July 8th. The company wants to collect over 50,000 francs.
