Dynamic Load Management
Charge more cars without upgrading your electrical installation.
Protects your installation
Automatically keeps total power consumption within your breaker limits even when multiple cars charge at the same time.
Charges more cars
Distributes available power across all chargers in real time, so you can serve more vehicles without upgrading your electrical capacity.
Uses your own energy first
Prioritizes solar panels or battery storage for charging before drawing from the grid. Your electricity bill stays low.
Runs locally, no cloud dependency
All load management decisions happen on the device itself, no cloud round-trip needed. The DLM works reliably in any network environment, including sites with limited or intermittent connectivity.
Works with any charger
Compatible with all major EV charger brands — Alfen, ABB, Schneider, and any other charger that supports the OCPP standard.
No vendor lock-in
Works with Autlo charging software, any third-party platform, or completely on its own. You choose.
How it works
Step 1 — Install the controller
A compact device is mounted in your electrical cabinet, next to your main breaker. Installation takes under an hour for a qualified electrician.
Step 2 — Connect to your existing equipment
The controller connects to your existing energy meter over Ethernet and to your existing chargers over the local network. No need to replace anything you already have.
Step 3 — Done. It manages itself.
The system continuously watches how much power your building uses. When someone turns on an oven or heat pump, charging power is reduced automatically. When the load drops, charging ramps back up. You never have to think about it.

What makes it different
Works with what you already have
The controller integrates with your existing chargers, your existing energy meter, and your existing charging software. Supports solar panels and battery systems too, configure separate limits for grid and renewable sources.
Internet goes down? Charging doesn't.
Some systems stop charging when the internet drops. The DLM keeps everything running locally. Active sessions continue uninterrupted, and drivers can always stop via their car. When the connection returns, everything syncs automatically.
Priority where it matters
Give certain chargers more power than others. Perfect for VIP parking spots, fast-turnover locations, or your own car at home. Configure priorities locally or remotely through the Autlo dashboard.
Solar and battery integration
The DLM doesn't just manage grid power it understands your full energy picture.
How it works with solar
The DLM continuously monitors how much energy your solar panels are producing. When there's surplus solar power, it's directed to your chargers automatically. You can set separate limits for grid and solar — for example, "use as much solar as possible, but never draw more than 32A from the grid." On sunny days, charging is practically free.
How it works with batteries
If you have a home or site battery system, the DLM factors that into the energy budget. Battery discharge adds to the available charging capacity, so your chargers can use more power without increasing grid consumption. When combined with solar and price-dependent charging, your battery becomes an active participant in your energy strategy.
Grid limits stay separate
The key advantage: grid consumption limits and total available power are configured independently. Your main breaker is protected regardless of how much solar or battery power is available. The DLM always prioritizes safety while maximizing the use of your own energy.
We support all setups, big and small
Single-phase — the simplest setup
Even a single-phase connection with a 10A or 16A breaker can support EV charging — as long as total consumption stays within limits. The DLM monitors your circuit in real time and adjusts charging power automatically when other appliances switch on. Perfect for garages, rural properties, or any location where the electrical connection is modest and every amp counts.
Three-phase — residential and small business
The most common residential setup: a 3×25A or 3×32A connection with 2–5 chargers. Without load management, charging multiple cars while running a heat pump or oven trips the breaker. With the DLM, charging power adjusts automatically around your existing consumption — no electrical upgrade needed. Works equally well for small offices, co-working spaces, and residential buildings.
Mid-size commercial parking
A parking garage or office building with 20–30 chargers. The DLM handles this range exceptionally well balancing power across all active sessions while respecting the building's main breaker limits. Add solar panels or battery storage to further optimize energy costs.
Large installations — custom approach
For sites with 50+ chargers — parking structures, logistics parks, or fleet depots — we provide a custom deployment with dedicated support. These installations get our full attention to ensure proper integration, safety compliance, and performance at scale.
Designed to run locally
The DLM is a local device. All load management decisions, meter reading, power distribution, safety enforcement happen on the device itself, on your network. There is no dependency on cloud connectivity for core operation.
Why this matters
EV charging installations often sit in locations where network connectivity isn't guaranteed underground garages, rural properties, or industrial sites with restricted IT infrastructure. The DLM is built for these environments. It operates reliably regardless of your network situation.
Flexible deployment
Use the DLM with a cloud backend, with a local-only setup, or start offline and add a backend later. The device adapts to your infrastructure — not the other way around.
What happens when the internet goes down?
Without the DLM sessions break
Most cloud-based charging setups depend on an active internet connection. When the network drops, chargers lose contact with the backend. Active charging sessions are interrupted or terminated. When connectivity returns, session data may be lost or incomplete, causing billing errors and frustrated users.
With the DLM everything keeps running
The DLM operates locally. When the internet goes down, all active charging sessions continue uninterrupted. Load management stays active, your breaker is still protected. Drivers can stop charging at any time through their car's controls or their car's mobile app, the charger responds directly, no cloud needed.
Data buffering and sync
During an outage, all OCPP messages session events, meter values, status updates are buffered locally on the device. This covers up to 3 months of continuous operation for a single charger, or approximately 2 days for 100 connected chargers. When the internet returns, buffered messages are replayed to the backend automatically and in order, so your records are complete and billing is accurate.
Optional: proactive monitoring with Autlo CPO
If you use Autlo's charging platform, we monitor your DLM connectivity and notify you when a site goes offline and again when it's back. This is optional; the DLM works with any backend or no backend at all.
Charge when electricity is cheapest
Earn more between purchase price and selling price
If you sell charging sessions at a fixed price per kWh, your margin depends on when you buy electricity from the grid. The DLM can shift charging to hours when the market price is lowest — overnight, midday solar peaks, or whenever your energy contract gives you the best rate. The selling price stays the same; your purchase cost drops. The difference is your additional profit.
Smart scheduling with solar forecasts
Combine day-ahead electricity pricing with local solar production forecasts. The DLM estimates how much free solar energy will be available tomorrow and schedules grid-powered charging around it. Batteries can be charged during the cheapest hours and discharged during expensive peaks.
Let us calculate your savings
Every site is different. Contact us with your electricity contract, solar capacity, and charging volume — we'll calculate your expected savings and payback period for the DLM investment.
Every installation is different. The DLM adapts to yours with simple configuration via the Autlo dashboard, a local interface, or the device API. All changes apply instantly, no restart needed.
Power limits
Set your main breaker rating (e.g. 32A, 63A, or 80A) and the number of phases. The DLM ensures consumption never exceeds these values on any phase.
Energy sources
Tell the DLM about your solar panels or battery system. Set separate limits for grid and renewable sources. For example, "use all available solar, but never draw more than 40A from the grid."
Charger priorities
Assign higher priority to specific chargers. Priority chargers receive proportionally more power when the total budget is limited.
Safety margins
Configure how much headroom to keep below the breaker limit. The default safety margin is 10% of your configured breaker size. For example, a 32A breaker keeps 3.2A of headroom. You can also set a fixed amperage margin. Both limits apply independently, so your installation stays protected even during sudden load spikes.
Offline behavior
The device operates locally and does not depend on internet connectivity for load management. During network outages, all active charging sessions continue with full load balancing. When connectivity returns, buffered session data and meter readings sync automatically.

Common questions
Yes. The DLM works with any EV charger that supports the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP 1.6). This includes most commercial chargers from Alfen, ABB, Schneider, and others.
No. The DLM works perfectly with Autlo charging software, any other OCPP-compatible platform, or completely independently without any cloud connection.
A single DLM can manage up to 50 chargers on one site. For larger installations, multiple DLM units coordinate across zones. There's no upper limit to the total number of chargers across a site.
The DLM is installed in your electrical cabinet on a DIN rail. It connects to your energy meter via the local network and to your chargers via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. A qualified electrician can complete the installation in under an hour.
