"API platforms are essential not only for scaling EV charging but also for reducing go-to-market costs and timelines. More importantly, drivers have access to a seamless charging experience that reflects our own unique brand and allows us to control the parameters surrounding each station."
The modular architecture of the EV Connect platform and API suite allows customers to save time and money by leveraging a proven backend management console, enabling features such as charger reservations, flexible payment models (e.g., by kWh, time, or parking space), ability to activate OCPI roaming partner integrations, grace periods and other value-added features without months of development time. For example, for hotels, it means integration with rewards programs and guest apps; for convenient -stores it's delivering coupons through their app; for oil companies, it's about integration with ERP systems, financial management, user identity, and payment gateways; for fleet operators, it means integration with energy management, smart building systems, or telematics.
"We built this platform to support the many variables around charging business models, use cases, integration, and technology that charging providers are confronted with," said Trung Luu, vice president of product at EV Connect. "The future of electrified transportation depends on ubiquitous high-quality EV charging as well as companies willing to deploy and build businesses around it. While we manage the complexity of reliability and compatibility under the hood, our customers can get to market faster with controllable and branded driver experiences."
