V2C + Linky: Connected, smart, and economical electric charging

At V2C, we believe that electric charging should not be a source of stress, but rather a true advantage in daily life. It should be simple, smart, and fully integrated with the current energy environment.

The integration of V2C’s Trydan and Trydan Pro stations with the Linky meter represents a significant advancement towards connected, optimized, and responsible electric charging. This connectivity transforms the way individuals, professionals, and installers interact with electric vehicle charging, providing greater control, security, and energy efficiency.

A station that already understands your setup

All V2C stations measure the consumption of the home or building and automatically adjust the charging power to avoid any overload or tripping of the circuit breaker. When the available capacity increases, the station can charge faster, smoothly, and safely, without any manual intervention.

The Linky meter, already present in most French homes, also continuously measures electricity consumption. The direct connection to Linky via Linky LoRa allows the station to use this official data to enhance dynamic control, improving the accuracy and reliability of the information used.

Why the V2C + Linky Lora Integration Changes the Rules

The integrated LoRa technology (Long Range) in the meter enables long-range, low consumption, and high-security connectivity.

Linky LoRa does not replace V2C’s dynamic control, which remains fully operational. Instead, it complements it by providing a reliable, continuous, and certified measurement source. The transmitted data allows the board to respond more accurately to consumption changes and simplifies the installation process by relying on equipment that has become essential in all homes.

Charging was already smart. With direct connection to Linky, it becomes more accurate and integrated.

Tangible Improvement in Costs and Energy

Thanks to this integration, the board can optimize the use of available energy. Favorable tariff periods, such as peak hours, are automatically exploited, and consumption changes are taken into account in real-time. For individuals, these improvements can represent savings of up to 20 to 30% of the annual cost associated with charging an electric vehicle.

For professionals and fleet managers, the challenge is more strategic: securing installation, avoiding capacity overruns, and optimizing energy costs across multiple vehicles simultaneously. In a fleet consisting of ten vehicles, savings can reach several thousand euros annually.

A Clear Advantage for Installers

The Linky integration comes to simplify deployment. Relying on the official data from the meter, the station benefits from a certified, reliable, and continuous measurement source, enhancing the accuracy and consistency of power control.

This direct connection represents a tangible time saving for installers: it particularly avoids the need to pull an additional RJ45 cable, which reduces installation costs and complexity. In many cases, it also allows for the avoidance of additional external units.

Thus, installation time is reduced, setups become smoother, and the risk of error is minimized.

Safety, Compliance, and Energy Transition

All V2C stations are configurable via the app and allow for precise setting of the shared power to ensure compliance with the customer’s electrical subscription. The built-in dynamic control automatically adjusts charging to avoid any overload and prevent disconnection risks.

The direct connection with the Linky meter via Linky LoRa enhances this logic by relying on the official and certified data from the meter. Thus, the station can optimize its control and increase its responsiveness to real consumption changes.

The connection is secure and complies with French regulatory requirements, including the NF C 15-100 standard.

Beyond simple charging, the V2C + Linky integration aligns with a sustainable vision: better use of available energy, reducing waste, and supporting the transition to more responsible electric mobility.

Configuring and Purchasing the Linky LoRa Meter

To activate the connection between a Trydan or Trydan Pro device from V2C and the Linky meter, you can refer to the complete guide to configuring the Linky LoRa meter available on V2C support.

For installers or users who wish to equip directly, the Linky LoRa meter is also available for purchase from the V2C online store.

Towards More Sustainable and Connected Charging

With V2C, the station is not limited to charging a vehicle: it includes installation, communicates with the meter, and adjusts power in real-time. Dynamic control is already integrated, and the direct connection to Linky allows this intelligence to be elevated to a higher level, more accurately, reliably, and easily installed.
