E-mobility: Innovative charging technology
Compleo was founded in 2009 and is now part of the global KOSTAL Group. Compleo is one of the established providers of innovative charging technology for electric vehicles in Europe, with its own development operations in Germany.
Compleo offers AC charging stations for professional applications in the public and commercial sectors. To unlock the full potential of electric mobility, Compleo, together with KOSTAL, is developing an integrated AC system for bidirectional charging - consisting of an onboard charger in the vehicle and a compatible wallbox.
Bidirectional charging turns the vehicle into a mobile energy storage unit, making it an active part of the energy transition.
