The challenge
Compliance has never been harder
EV charging is booming - but so is regulatory pressure.
In the DACH region, staying compliant is no longer optional: German standards like VDE-AR-N 4100, 4105, and 4110 require controllable devices like EV chargers to be grid-integrated and curtailment-ready. Austria’s TOR rules add equally strict requirements. And with 850+ DSOs in Germany alone, each with its own "Technische Anschlussregeln" (TAR), Charge Point Operators face a maze of specifications.
For CPOs, this means:
Rollout delays due to fragmented technical rules
Increased engineering & connection costs
Risk of non-compliance blocking new sites
The lack of standardization slows roll-out and puts scaling ambitions at risk.
The Solution
Our service: Grid Compliance Control
This innovative service leverages our GATEWAY local controller, which is built into our new FLEXBOX. The FLEXBOX ensures seamless communication between your EV charging infrastructure and DSOs.
Here’s how it works:
Hardware Brain
The FLEXBOX, which includes, among other components, the GATEWAY local controller, is deployed at your charging site, providing a secure and reliable interface for DSOs to manage load limits. It supports multiple communication protocols, such as DNP3, IEC 61850, and Modbus, ensuring compatibility with various DSO setups.
Real-Time Load Management
During periods of high grid demand, DSOs can remotely adjust the power consumption of your EV chargers to prevent grid overloads. The GATEWAY receives commands from the DSO and dynamically reduces the power drawn from your chargers, ensuring continued operation without risking grid stability
Automatic Compliance
The Grid Control service automatically adapts to the specific requirements of each DSO, ensuring that your operations remain compliant with all regional grid regulations. This reduces the complexity of managing different technical standards across multiple sites.
Effortless Scaling
Whether you’re managing a single site or a network of charging stations, our Grid Operator service scales effortlessly, allowing you to maintain consistent, compliant operations as you expand.
“As we expand into Austria and Germany, meeting the strict requirements of local grid operators is essential. FLEXECHARGE has been a key partner in this process”

Hardware + Software
Grid Compliance Control:
a mighty duo in action
Powered by HARMON-E and delivered on-site through the FLEXBOX, our solution turns compliance into simplicity. Configure sites in minutes via a clear UI, monitor activations in real time, and keep every charging hub fully compliant - without the complexity.
A single dashboard to configure and monitor DSO control across regions. Set site limits, track activations, and access full history - all with guided setup and built-in failsafes for worry-free compliance.
All-in-one hardware that makes complexity disappear. The FLEXBOX houses the GATEWAY, router, and patch panel in a compact, plug-and-play unit - ready to support up to 24 chargers and fit seamlessly into transformer stations.
Aggregate
Beyond Compliance: Unlock New Value
We enable Charge Point Operators to aggregate the flexibility from their commercial charging
and energy assets into a Virtual Power Plant. With HARMON-E and the FLEXBOX, you don’t just stay compliant - you prepare for the energy future.
Our platform transforms charging hubs into intelligent, grid-interactive assets: enabling BESS boost charging, energy cost arbitrage, and participation in flexibility markets.
What starts as compliance becomes your foundation for new revenue streams and competitive advantage.
