Open charge controller for EV charging stations. IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 compliant. Includes multiple software stack options.
New (August 2023): We now fully support the EVerest software stack.
Charge Control C is an IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 compliant charging controller and it works in many types of AC charging station. It will bring your company in the position to start your charging business early and be competitive from the beginning. It will be your platform to improve your own solutions continuously by bringing your software solutions on that device. That's why Charge Control C is also a perfect solution if you want to keep using your python or linux software system. If you allow us, we will carry out the proof of concept together with you.
Collaboration
The product's software is extensively modifiable by our customers to deploy their own code base to the hardware. We found the ideal approach to achieve this with our linux Yocto OS. Our service and development teams provide outstanding support to just make the solutions work. We provide the approach, so that you can merge your software with our ISO15118 stack and continue to use the OCPP client.
What it can do?
Charge control C will reliable steer actuators like locking motors, contactors and ventilation devices and it guides throuhg the whole charging process. Charge Control C connects with electric meters, RFID devices and further kinds of actuators and sensors. With its amount of general-purpose IO it can be connected to further devices. For special use cases in-tech smart charging likes to offer further interfaces on interest.
Future proof hardware and software
We are your experts on charging communication. Technically spoken, the charging process can be either directed by PWM basic charging or ISO 15118 AC high-level charging for such cars, which are already fulfilling this standard. Due to the controllers connectivity, it can be easily updated via OCPP, USB or Rauc.
Communication interfaces:
Charge Control C is currently available in three different hardware variants (Charge Control C 100, 200 and 300) that are suitable for different complexity of charging stations.
EVerest is an open source modular framework for setting up a full stack environment for EV charging.
EVerest will help to speed the adoption to e-mobility by utilizing all the open source advantages for the EV charging world. It will also enable new features for local energy management, PV-integration and many more.
The EVerest project was initiated by PIONIX GmbH to help with the electrification of the mobility sector and is an official project of the Linux Foundation Energy.
We joined the EVerest Project in 2022 and donated our well tested, mature code.
