What Powerize CSMS does

Everything an operator needs to run a charging network day to day.

OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1

Connect AC and DC chargers from any manufacturer. Switching platforms does not require new hardware.

Live monitoring

Status of every connector, errors, sessions and meter values in real time. Remote start, stop and reset.

Tariffs and pricing

Price per kWh, per minute, per session and for idle time, dynamic tariffs, plus discounts and coupons for selected customers.

Load management (DLM)

Dynamic load management shares the available grid capacity between chargers so you stay within your limit.

Payments

App wallet, QR code payment in the browser, payment terminals and kiosks, and RFID cards.

OCPP security

Powerize Shield analyses OCPP traffic and detects suspicious commands sent to chargers.

How onboarding works

  1. Setup. We set up your instance, tariffs and locations.
  2. Connecting chargers. Chargers get a new OCPP endpoint and connect to the platform, with no hardware swap.
  3. Testing. We test start, stop, payments and billing on every station.
  4. Go-live. Your stations go live and you manage them from the dashboard.

CSMS and OCPP: FAQ

A CSMS (Charging Station Management System) is the system chargers connect to over OCPP. It handles monitoring, remote control, tariffs and billing of charging sessions.

OCPP 1.6 and OCPP 2.0.1, so it works with both older and the latest chargers.

Can I move chargers from another system?

We work on a flat subscription, with no transaction fees and no minimum number of chargers. We quote after a short call about the size of your network.
