Pulsener supports companies in finding technical and financial solutions to ensure the implementation of their sustainable mobility projects: electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI), CNG and bioCNG, or hydrogen.
Already involved with public stakeholders in France in drafting electric vehicle charging infrastructure master plans (EVCI MP) and their implementation, our consultants also work with companies and condominium associations at various scales.
Deployment strategy for charging stations
Pulsener provides clients with a detailed map of existing charging stations within a given area, primarily in the public domain.
Before initiating projects, our consultants also analyze the usage of existing infrastructure at our clients’ sites (including usage patterns, availability, and billing) to identify underutilized or poorly sized stations.
Pulsener then guides clients toward the most suitable solutions, mobilizing market players in the electric mobility sector if necessary to source solutions or organize workshops for a more comprehensive strategy.
Our consultants assist in sizing charging station projects by defining a coherent trajectory between current usage and future needs based on vehicle fleets, public reception, and operational requirements.
Pulsener’s studies provide a clear framework for future projects by proposing and identifying :
the number of charging points per site,
a deployment schedule,
the locations for installing stations,
suitable types of stations,
requirements for grid connection and meter installation.
Our teams offer a gradual and adaptable development approach to streamline projects while staying responsive to evolving usage patterns and needs over time.
Economic and contractual model selection
Our consultants support our clients in the economic structuring of electric vehicle charging station installation projects, taking into account :
Pulsener then assists its clients in selecting the optimal economic model to drive the projects by:
Contributing to the creation of specific financial vehicles,
Seeking third-party investment or other financing solutions,
Proposing an energy consumption charging tariff model.
Our teams can also work with Retailers, for example, in selecting a partner to monetize the use of their charging stations in their parking lots.
Bidding process and RFP
Pulsener is an independent consultancy firm capable of conducting competitive bidding among various electric vehicle charging market players to optimize your purchases and select your future partners.
Tendering equipment suppliers
Tendering installation contractors,
Challenging third-party investment solutions.
Our consultants have a deep understanding of distribution networks and the procedures required to size an installation and obtain the connection of new meters.
Pulsener assists its clients and their partners in optimizing their schemes and procedures for connecting charging stations to the corresponding distribution networks by collaborating with various project stakeholders : installers, engineering firms, and distribution network operators.
Our consultants provide companies with a framework that encompasses the technical and administrative conditions for deploying solutions to comply with regulations and avoid potential connection delays or obstacles.
We assist with projects of any complexity :
Simple connections of electric vehicle charging stations at one or multiple sites,
More complex connections involving:
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) setups with energy storage and grid injection considerations,
Combining charging solutions with photovoltaic production and mandatory purchase obligations.
Pulsener also collaborates with mobility stakeholders in their energy transition, offering expertise on sustainable projects related to bioCNG or CNG as needed.
Pulsener engages with companies on various fronts :
Conducting feasibility or opportunity studies,
Assessing the potential for CNG or bioCNG in specific areas,
Facilitating access to refueling infrastructure through our internally developed GIS tools.
Among the sustainable mobility solutions, hydrogen will play a significant role in decarbonizing companies in the transportation sector, especially heavy transport.
Our consultants conduct forward-looking studies for interested companies to validate specific projects and anticipate the integration of hydrogen among their decarbonization strategies.
Also experts in electricity procurement for businesses, Pulsener assists companies in identifying and integrating future electricity needs related to EV charging infrastructure into their consumption profiles and electricity procurement portfolios.
Our consultants also conduct studies on hybrid renewable electricity production projects that can cover part of the electricity needs for the charging stations to be installed.
This support enables energy managers and energy buyers to identify the impact of charging stations on their future electricity purchases.
