Electric vehicle (EV) charging management software, also known as charge point management systems (CPMS) or EV charging station management software, is used by EV charging operators, businesses with charging infrastructure, fleet managers, and property owners to operate, monitor, optimize, and scale EV charging infrastructure.
These products help chargers run reliably by providing real-time monitoring, remote troubleshooting, and performance tracking. EV charging management solutions also support smarter energy use through load management, helping reduce costs and improving EV driver experience with features like easy access and payments.
EV charging management software integrates with payment software and billing software for transactions, energy management systems for optimizing electricity usage, and fleet management tools for coordinating vehicle charging.
To qualify for inclusion in the EV Charging Management category, a product must:
- Monitor the status and availability of EV charging stations in real time
- Allow remote control and administration of charging stations
- Manage user access and authentication for drivers and administrators
- Track and report on charging activity and energy usage
- Support centralized management of one or more charging locations
