Additionally, the accompanying app provides features like Dynamic Load Balancing, Solar Balancing, and Peak Shaving, helping users optimize energy usage and manage costs.
With a focus on installation efficiency, the Source 2 has a pluggable architecture designed for quick setup, potentially reducing labor costs for installers. Versinetic contributed to the charger’s development by providing hardware and software components, including the MANTARAY and EEL charge controllers and BalanSea load balancing software.
“Versinetic’s technical expertise and hands-on approach have been invaluable in helping us develop a product that not only meets but exceeds the needs of our market,” stated Berend Simons, co-founder and General Director of Volt Time.

This partnership allows Volt Time to combine its vision with Versinetic’s expertise, positioning the Source 2 to address the demands of the Dutch EV market. As Volt Time continues to develop its product line, the collaboration with Versinetic is expected to play an important role in providing solutions that support sustainable energy use and smart energy management.
