Title
E387 - Digital Platform for Real-Time Control of EV Charging Stations and Chargers
Abstract
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) highlights the urgent need for efficient, secure, and user-friendly digital platforms to manage EV charging infrastructure. This project, E387 - Digital Platform for Real-Time Control of EV Charging Stations and Chargers, addresses this need by developing a comprehensive software ecosystem to simplify charging processes for users and operators alike.
The project focuses on four core components: a mobile application, a backend system, Point of Sale (POS) integration, and a charger tablet application. The mobile application enables EV users to locate charging stations, initiate and monitor charging sessions, and process payments with ease. For operators, the backend system ensures seamless management of real-time charging station statuses, secure payment processing, and detailed transaction logging. POS integration expands payment flexibility by supporting on-site transactions via embedded tablet applications and POS devices. Additionally, the tablet application, installed on chargers, offers an intuitive interface for users to initiate charging sessions and track charging progress.
The design and development process prioritizes scalability, user experience, and security. The mobile and tablet applications are built with intuitive user interfaces to cater to a diverse audience. The backend employs robust frameworks and real-time data handling to ensure reliability and scalability, while the integration of POS devices leverages secure payment protocols.
Upon completion, this platform is expected to deliver a seamless and flexible user experience for EV owners, streamline operations for administrators, and improve the overall adoption of EV charging infrastructure. This work represents a significant step forward in creating sustainable and user-centered solutions for the growing EV ecosystem.
