go-e Charger CORE

go-e Charger CORE

Intelligent and reliable charging - the go-e Charger CORE offers the smart features you are used to from go-e, such as PV surplus charging or charging with flexible energy tariffs. The wallbox also enables data exchange via the most common communication interfaces and is in accordance with ISO 15118 V2X ready* and Plug&Charge ready*. Even more convenient and efficient charging at an excellent price-performance ratio. Scalable thanks to load balancing and open interfaces. Easy to install, convenient to use and always intelligently connected. The go-e Charger CORE features a permanently attached charging cable with a type 2 plug. The go-e Charger CORE offers the same range of functions as the go-e Charger PRO with just one difference - the CORE‘s electricity meter is not certified in accordance with the MID directive. However, the charged kWh are also displayed directly via the LED display integrated on the front of the charging station. Alternatively, you can also view this via the app.

Country of origin: Austria
Manufacturer's warranty: 36 months

Quick installation and commissioning

Compact and lightweight. The go-e Charger CORE can be installed easily and put into operation within a very short time. The wallbox is suitable for indoor and outdoor use thanks to its IP66 protection class. The electrician simply attaches the wall mounting unit, inserts the power connection cable and fixes it. The power cable can be fed in from behind, below and above, providing maximum flexibility for every location. Finally, the charging unit is attached and bolted in place. After that charging is possible without any further setup. Additional initial setup can be done via the app or alternatively through the go-e backend (go-e Portal), which can be used to commission a large number of chargers in a very short time. This ensures the wallbox is prepared for special usage scenarios.

The go-e Portal, which is free of charge, not only enables easy setup of several charging stations at the same time, but also convenient RFID management, monitoring of status and energy consumption, including provision of billing-relevant data (per charging station/user). It also ensures the connection to other systems.

Convenient handling

The go-e Charger CORE is equipped with a permanently attached charging cable with a type 2 plug. It can be used to charge almost every electric car and plug-in hybrid commonly used in Europe, as these usually have a type 2 connector. Forwards, backwards or sideways, the 6 m long charging cable adapts flexibly to any parking situation. Once the charging process is complete, the cable management is intuitive and the charging cable can be stowed safely and compactly around the go-e Charger CORE.

Highest manufacturing quality - Made in Austria - ensures long-lasting and low-maintenance handling. Continuous updates that the charging station offers all the latest features.

Additional interfaces for reliable data exchange and even smarter charging

Besides to wireless data transmission via WiFi and cellular network (LTE), the go-e Charger CORE offers wired data exchange via Ethernet. This ensures smart charging and connection to external systems at any location. In addition, the wallbox can be controlled via a digital input and output. Various open API interfaces and OCPP enable connection to third-party software such as backend systems, energy management systems, PV surplus or billing systems.

Cost-effective and sustainable with PV surplus, favourable electricity prices & bidirectional charging*

Intelligent features such as the scheduler or automated charging with PV surplus help to save costs, just like charging with flexible energy tariffs, which are already integrated into the go-e app. This not only pays off financially but also reduces the load on the power grid.

On the hardware side, the go-e Charger CORE is prepared for V2X functionalities* in accordance with ISO 15118. These include vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-home (V2H), often also known as bidirectional charging*.

Scalable thanks to load balancing, even for large parking areas

The go-e Charger already offers static load balancing without additional hardware, allowing a large number of vehicles to be charged at the same power connection - prioritisation for individual charging stations is possible. In addition, the go-e Controller, OCPP, Modbus TCP or open API can be utilised to take advantage of dynamic load balancing. This means that the charging power is continuously adapted to the currently available electricity, even taking surplus PV power into account. In this way, a charging network with hundreds of charging stations can be set up without having to worry about a power outage. At the same time, you can avoid peak loads and reduce costs.

Authorisation via RFID or Plug&Charge*

When delivered, the charging station allows free charging. However, this can be switched to authorisation. The go-e Charger CORE offers user authentication, enabling the charging process and clear assignment of charging processes to specific persons via the integrated RFID reader. The device is supplied with a paired RFID tag. Additional RFID tags can be taught in, even for several chargers simultaneously via the go-e backend or other backend systems. Conventional credit cards or RFID tags already in use within companies are also compatible, as long as they transmit at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Detailed charging data is provided for individual users. Activation via app is also possible.

The go-e Charger CORE is Plug&Charge ready* in accordance with ISO 15118. In future, this will allow for the authorisation, activation and billing of charging processes without the user having to enable the charging process via RFID or app.

Charging capacity up to 3.7, 7.4, 11 or 22 kW

The go-e Charger CORE can be connected single-phase and three-phase. When connected three-phase, the charging power is limited to a maximum of 11 kW on delivery (single-phase 3.7 kW). However, all components are designed for a charging power of up to 22 kW. As part of the setup process, the installer can increase the maximum charging power for the three-phase connection to 22 kW (single-phase to 7.4 kW) via the app or installation backend.

*The functionality of bidirectional charging and authorisation via Plug&Charge is prepared on the hardware side and will be provided as a function at a later date via a software update.
