Building the Future of EV Charging: A Full-Stack Transformation Story
To benefit from the dramatic growth in the EV space, a global OEM and aftermarket provider of thermal and electrical solutions needed to move beyond hardware and deliver an integrated, software-led experience.
The Key Challenges
- Longer release cycles due to reliance on third-party platforms.
- Limited control over the solution and rising operational costs.
- Lack of proprietary cloud or mobile infrastructure slowed rollout of differentiated features.
- Regulatory and cybersecurity compliances, UL certifications and ISO15118 (V2G) readiness.
- Grid integration and monetization via a connected ecosystem.
At a Glance
- Industry: Electric Vehicle
- Challenge: Scale infrastructure that can support 1M+ chargers while reducing TCO
- Impact: 40% TCO reduction | 5+ grid integrations | Smart, scalable EV ecosystem
The Transformation Journey
We delivered an end-to-end solution, from hardware and software apps to cloud infrastructure. A fully owned, open standards-based ecosystem that could scale to 1 million+ chargers.
Key Deliverables
- Multi-Tenant EV Charger Management Platform
Built on OCPP, the web-based platform offers role-based access, real-time charger monitoring, remote diagnostics, energy analytics, and OpenADR 2.0b support for grid integration. - Smart Charging Mobile App
A cross-platform, multilingual app with features such as scheduling, usage tracking, and voice assistant support (Alexa, Siri), tailored for both residential and commercial users. - Cloud-Native Infrastructure on Azure
Key features of the cloud infrastructure include: scalable microservices, OTA updates, telemetry, and disaster recovery. - Hardware & Firmware Development
From component selection to NEMA4/IK10 compliant design, UL-certified hardware with 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, BLE, and NFC connectivity we played a role across the entire PDLC. The device is designed for ISO15118-compliant plug-and-charge and V2G functionality. - Ecosystem Integration
Seamlessly integrated with grid aggregators (e.g., EnergyHub, AutoGrid), payment providers (e.g., Stripe, Payter), and voice assistants (e.g., Alexa, Google, Siri) to unlock new revenue streams and user experiences.
Before vs. After Snapshot
