IoT solution for optimizing EV charging

Client Requirements

The charging infrastructure manufacturing company has a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the country and was looking for a solution to optimize electric vehicle (EV) charging at their charging stations. They wanted to enable their customers to charge their EVs more efficiently, reduce waiting times, and minimize energy consumption. The company required a solution that would increase customer satisfaction, reduce operating costs, and enhance its brand reputation.

Issues with Existing Conditions

The existing charging points were not optimized for high-volume charging, and the energy consumption was very high due to the inefficient charging processes. Also, charging points could not provide real-time data on charging status and charging point availability. The maintenance costs were high due to frequent breakdowns, resulting in lost revenue. In addition, the charging points were not user-friendly, leading to confusion among EV owners and charging point operators.

Our end-to-end IoT Integration

Our comprehensive integration provided the manufacturer with an EV charging optimization solution that enabled them to improve their charging infrastructure’s efficiency, including a cloud-based platform, EV charging point hardware, and a mobile application for customers.

The EV station hardware included sensors that collected data on charging point utilization, energy consumption, and charge duration. The data was transmitted to the cloud platform, where it was processed and analyzed to provide real-time insights into charging point operations. It also included a touchscreen display for ease of use.

T he mobile application enabled customers to schedule charging sessions and receive real-time updates on their charging status, reducing waiting times and increasing customer satisfaction. The cloud platform also enabled the company to optimize charging station utilization, minimizing energy consumption and reducing operating costs. The platform enabled the company to respond quickly to any issues with its charging stations by providing real-time alerts and notifications.

Business Outcomes

The charging infrastructure company achieved significant business results with our IoT solution. Through real-time monitoring and control, the company was able to effectively manage its charging station operations, reduce waiting times and increase customer satisfaction. By optimizing station utilization, the company minimized energy consumption and reduced operating costs, resulting in improved profitability. The data collected from the charging stations allowed the company to identify potential issues and improve its charging stations’ performance, enhancing its brand reputation.
