PowerBank
Support grid stability and earn Monta credits by allowing brief pauses in your EV charging during peak demand. PowerBank helps prevent outages and contributes to a more sustainable energy system.
What is PowerBank?
PowerBank is the first step towards a more sustainable and developed grid. It is Monta’s preventative solution that detects imbalances in the electrical grid and briefly pauses current charging sessions to prevent blackouts.
With PowerBank, charge point owners are helping their community by preventing blackouts and earning Monta Wallet credits as a reward. It’s a smart way to keep the electricity flowing smoothly while supporting the transition to EVs.
The problem
Electricity consumption is vital for our daily activities, from powering our homes and offices to operating our cars. However, several factors can create imbalances in the electrical grid, potentially leading to blackouts or outages. This combination of factors, along with overconsumption, significantly raises the risk of sudden outages and blackouts that can impact large areas in a matter of seconds.
What is Monta’s solution?
PowerBank connects multiple charge points to the grid system, allowing Monta to manage charging activities by briefly pausing and resuming EV charging in response to grid imbalances. This way, PowerBank helps distribute and alleviate stress caused by the fluctuating production and high consumption of electricity, preventing power outages.

The credits can be used for charging in Monta’s Roaming network, paying subscriptions, or purchasing items such as SIM cards, QR stickers, RFID cards, and more in the Monta Shop.
