Where is the solution to be used?
How many charging points do you need? Which charging system is best suited to your location? And what requirements do you need to take into account when planning?
Careful planning takes into account charging requirements, user groups, site conditions and the electricity supply. ONgineer supports you from needs assessment right through to implementation. Use our product finder, the charging point calculator and the additional planning tools to prepare your project.

If architecture and aesthetics are more important to you than wall mounting, you might also want to consider the loyoubi EVO. This high-quality designer charging point combines an elegant design with tried-and-tested LiON technology.
Discover the loyoubi EVONot every e-bike charging station is suitable for every location. The key factors are, above all, the power supply, charging requirements, available space and the intended use. Requirements regarding design and mobility also play a role in the choice of system.
Grid-connected solutions are suitable for sites with an existing or potentially installable electricity connection. Self-sufficient solar charging stations are particularly suitable when no mains connection is available. When planning, solar irradiance, battery storage and the expected charging demand must be taken into account.
Compact charging stations are suitable for limited spaces, individual parking spaces, underground car parks, shelters or smaller cycle parking areas. Depending on the available power supply, options include, for example, the mains-powered LiON Box S or the fixed, solar-powered LiON Spot.
High-profile charging infrastructure is suitable for locations where the charging station is also intended to serve as a service point, an information area or a visible component of the mobility offering. Depending on the product, customised designs and advertising space are available.
For events, seasonal locations or changing sites, the mobile, ballasted versions of LiON Rack and LiON Tree are ideal. They do not require a mains connection and, provided the site conditions are suitable, can be set up at various locations.
The following overview shows which approaches are suitable for different requirements.
| Criterion | Typical requirement | Possible approach to a solution |
|---|---|---|
| Power supply | Mains connection available or can be provided | Grid-connected charging infrastructure |
| Power supply | No mains connection or self-contained operation required | Solar charging station with battery storage |
| Space requirements | Limited space available | Compact LiON Box or fixed LiON Spot, depending on the power supply |
| Visibility | Charging infrastructure should complement the brand identity or the design of the location | Custom-designed charging station or system with advertising space |
| Flexibility | Temporary, seasonal or changing place of work | Mobile version of the LiON Rack or LiON Tree |
| Intensity of use | Many users or high simultaneous charging demand | Charging system with a number of charging points tailored to demand |
This overview is intended to provide an initial guide. The specific choice of system depends on the technical requirements and the actual charging requirements at the site.
Three key factors to consider when choosing between different charging systems.
If a power connection is available or can be installed, a mains-connected charging station is a good option. The number of charging points and any potential extensions should be planned on the basis of charging requirements and the existing electrical infrastructure.
Off-grid solutions are suitable for sites without an available grid connection or for projects where an off-grid power supply is required. Which solar charging station is suitable depends on the location, the available solar irradiance, the storage capacity and the expected charging requirements.
The more bicycles that are to be charged at the same time, the more important it is to have a sufficient number of charging points, the available charging capacity and a layout tailored to usage. The average length of stay of users should also be taken into account when assessing demand.
Before planning a charging infrastructure, the key parameters should be clear: Who will be charging, how often will charging take place, what are your organisation’s objectives, and what requirements need to be taken into account?
It is precisely this logic that our charging point calculator reflects.
In just a few seconds, you’ll receive an initial, reliable assessment of your location.
A reliable assessment of the appropriate number of charging points for your site
A suitable charging infrastructure starts with an analysis of your site. There are three areas you should pay particular attention to.
Where does charging take place and who uses the charging infrastructure?
What technical facilities does your site offer?
What is important for operations and integration at the site?
Once the location, intended use and technical requirements have been clarified, you can select suitable charging systems and plan the next steps for implementation.
Five steps, from assessing requirements through to selecting suitable charging systems and on to implementation and possible future expansion.

Expansion options to be taken into account at an early stage
A coordinated project process brings together charging requirements, site conditions, system selection and implementation. This provides you with a clear planning framework that also takes into account any potential future expansions.
From the initial planning stages to potential expansion: Answers to frequently asked questions about your charging infrastructure project.
For the initial planning stage, the most important factors are the location, the intended user groups and the expected charging requirements. The available space, the electricity supply and any specific requirements relating to use should also be taken into account.
This information forms the basis for an initial assessment and the selection of suitable charging systems.
The number required depends in particular on how many e-bikes are to be charged at the same time, how frequently the charging points are used and how long users stay at the location.
Our charging point calculator on this page will give you an initial guide. For detailed planning, you should also take the site conditions into account.
That depends on the charging system chosen. Grid-connected charging stations require a suitable electricity supply. Alternatively, ONgineer offers self-sufficient solar systems with battery storage that operate without a grid connection.
When selecting off-grid solutions, factors such as solar radiation and the expected charging requirements must be taken into account.
The project costs depend on the chosen charging system, the number of charging points and the site-specific requirements. In addition, costs may be incurred for the electricity supply, installation and other site-specific services.
Based on your requirements, ONgineer can draw up a bespoke quote for the relevant products and agreed services.
ONgineer supports you with the planning and coordination of your charging infrastructure project. The scope of services to be provided for delivery, installation and commissioning is agreed on a project-by-project basis.
Any necessary electrical installation work must be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician.
Depending on the system chosen and the technical requirements at the site, it is possible to expand the system with additional charging points or further charging stations.
Changes to socket systems or usage requirements may also necessitate subsequent adjustments. If you anticipate an increase in charging demand, potential expansions should be taken into account at the initial planning stage.
