Development of a Connected Electric Vehicle Charging Control and Analytics Platform

The client requires a comprehensive system that offers users a seamless experience from plugging in their electric vehicles to managing charging sessions. Existing solutions lack integrated control over charging processes, real-time analytics, scheduling capabilities for off-peak energy use, and secure payment options, hindering user engagement and operational efficiency.

A manufacturer specialized in producing smart charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles, aiming to enhance user control, cost efficiency, and data insights.

• Implement a mobile application enabling users to remotely control and monitor their EV charging stations.
• Incorporate scheduling features allowing charging during off-peak hours to reduce costs.
• Develop analytics dashboards providing insights into energy usage, cost savings, and charging history.
• Ensure real-time calculation of charge completion times and battery status updates.
• Integrate secure payment processing for seamless transactions across different charging locations.
• Design the platform to scale efficiently and maintain high security standards for user data and payment information.

• Remote control of charging stations (start, stop, schedule charging)
• Smart scheduling allowing users to set preferred charging times, especially during off-peak hours
• Real-time analytics displaying energy consumption, cost savings versus traditional fuel, and charging history
• Accurate, real-time calculation of arrival-to-full charge times as vehicle status updates
• Secure payment gateway integration for transactions at both residential and commercial charging stations

• Charging station hardware interfaces for control and data exchange
• Payment processing systems for transaction security
• Vehicle data systems for real-time battery status updates

• High system scalability to support growth in user base and charging stations
• Robust security protocols to protect user data and payment information
• Reliable real-time communication with minimal latency
• Compliance with relevant data privacy and security standards

The new platform is expected to significantly enhance user experience by providing comprehensive control, real-time insights, and secure transactions. Anticipated outcomes include increased user engagement, optimized energy costs through scheduling, and scalable operations supporting a growing network of charging stations, ultimately driving revenue growth and reinforcing market leadership in smart EV charging solutions.
