SOLUTION SPOTLIGHT
E-Bike Charging
The Problem
Standard electrical outlets are an economical way to charge E-bikes. When used for higher-power loads like electric vehicles, they can result in significant energy costs to the account holder. Unauthorized use can result in hazards and liabilities.
The Aminiti Solution
Aminiti lets you turn any public-facing electrical outlet into an E-bike charging station. Set current limits to ensure only low-power loads like E-bikes are connected. Enable access for only certain users who have been given permission to use the outlet. Optionally require payment for charging sessions. Simply install the hardware, and use our management portal to make your outlets work according to your rules. Aminiti requires no infrastructure — you get to remotely manage every aspect of how your outlets get used, with no need for a network connection to keep them operating.
1
Install an Aminiti device in-line with each outlet you wish to protect.
2
Use the Aminiti web app to create QR signage to enable users to activate the outlet. (Your users can still use the Aminiti app to activate the outlet without a QR code.)
3
Configure each outlet for "Allow Only Certain Users". Choose "Setup Groups" to add user email addresses. Added users will receive an invitation to create an Aminiti account, and from then on will have access to the outlet until you revoke it.
Extras
Aminiti offers many other features that help manage EV outlets. Here are just a few:
Enable passcode access for a user group. This will allow you to share a passcode with customers or users who may not wish to sign up for an account. Anybody you share the passcode with will have access until you revoke it.
Set time limits to reduce energy costs.
Enable auto-shut-off so outlets don't get left on. Aminiti monitors current consumption and will end the session when charging is complete.
Set operating hours so that the outlet can only be activated during certain times.
Collect payment for public access to an outlet, while still allowing free access for staff and regular users.
Installation Methods
Aminiti is flexible, and there are several ways to integrate our hardware with your outlets. Here are just a few:
