CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Discover podis®, an innovative solution for decentralized energy distribution that makes setting up a charging infrastructure in multi-storey and underground car parks child's play!
DECENTRALIZED POWER DISTRIBUTION FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric vehicles have emerged as a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions and improving air quality. However, the vehicles and their charging infrastructure pose challenges on the road to a greener and more sustainable future. The increasing number of electric vehicles is causing demand for electric charging stations to skyrocket, straining existing power grids and leading to power outages and expensive retrofits.
To address these challenges and facilitate long-term electromobility, Wieland Electric presents a pioneering solution for setting up a charging infrastructure with decentralized power distribution. The podis® flat cable system enables quick, safe, and flexible charging of electric vehicles in both new and existing multi-storey or underground car parks.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
DECENTRALIZED ENERGY DISTRIBUTION,
BUT WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?
❌ CONVENTIONAL INSTALLATION
A centralized installation requires significantly more material than a decentralized one. The large number of supply lines also means that considerable space is required in the distribution cabinet. Retrofitting thus becomes a Herculean task.
DISADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL INSTALLATION
❌ Time-consuming
❌ Large material requirements and waste
❌ Increased space requirements
❌ Very time-consuming changes
✅ DECENTRALIZED INSTALLATION
Decentralized installation with podis® allows you to implement energy distribution for an entire parking deck with just one supply line and place the modules for tapping-off energy exactly where you need them. This saves space and ensures a modern, clear aesthetic.
ADVANTAGES OF DECENTRALIZED INSTALLATION
✅ Excellent flexibility
✅ Space-saving
✅ Maximum error prevention
✅ Less material and labour required
✅ Impressive installation speed
✅ Exceptional quality

CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CAR PARKS & UNDERGROUND GARAGES
The increasing prevalence of electric vehicles brings with it an increased demand for charging options, both at home and in businesses. In car parks and underground car parks in particular, there are a number of advantages to implementing electric vehicle charging stations, which we will explain below.
✔️ SPACE OPTIMISATION
Car parks and underground car parks are usually built in limited space. Decentralized energy distribution, as offered by the podis® energy bus system, makes it possible to supply a large number of charging stations with a single supply line. This saves valuable space in the distribution cabinet, which is particularly advantageous in confined spaces.
✔️ EFFICIENT ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
Thanks to decentralized energy distribution, the energy is distributed evenly across the charging stations. This minimises energy loss and ensures that all charging stations are operated efficiently, regardless of how many vehicles are being charged at the same time.
✔️ SCALABILITY
The podis® system allows up to twenty charging stations to be installed as required and operated with efficient load management. This means that car parks and underground car parks can be easily expanded to meet the increasing demand for charging facilities without having to make costly infrastructure changes.

CIRCUIT BREAKER MODULE:
In accordance with IEC 60364-7-722:2018, the overcurrent and residual current protective device for protecting the charging stations must be installed in the branching final circuits of each charging station. These can be integrated either in the charging station itself or in a podis® circuit breaker module specially designed for electromobility.
The podis® circuit breaker module is completely pre-wired and equipped with the necessary RCDs. There are variants for wiring (with cable gland) as well as for plug-in installation. The module also acts as a connection to the flat cable and integrates the overcurrent and residual current device for the final circuit.
You can find detailed information in our store or in our brochure:
CONNECTION MODULE WITH DOUBLE OUTPUT
The double output module redefines efficiency by serving two consumers with just one tap. This not only saves time, but also costs, as an outgoing module can be dispensed with. The special cover provides an additional output, completely pre-wired and pluggable with RST® or for conventional wiring with cable gland.

PODIS® PROVES TO BE
INDISPENSABLE IN PRACTICE
Modular and flexible access ...
Convinced customers are the best proof that a product has proven itself in use. And for Daniel Ruf from the Swiss Burkhalter Group, podis® has already passed the practical test with flying colors: "We rely on a system that can be installed with little effort and without errors. Traditional cabling methods would no longer work with our business model."
The advantages of podis® are particularly evident when his company retrofits existing garages: "Let's imagine we install 90 charging stations in an underground car park and want to do this with conventional cables and junction boxes... that would be an adventurous undertaking in many places.
...of charging systems in apartment buildings...
In all the projects we retrofit, the space available in the route and in the main distribution board is not exactly princely. Of course, a system like this is very convenient for us. The development from the main electrical distribution board to the flat cable has proven to be very feasible in most cases."
