Problem
Installing multiple EV chargers in shared parking environments often requires costly electrical infrastructure upgrades to handle the increased power demand. Traditional charging solutions lack intelligent power management, leading to inefficient energy distribution and higher installation expenses.
Solution
PlugOp Technologies offers a software platform that optimizes electric vehicle (EV) charging in shared parking spaces by using AI-based power management. The platform dynamically distributes power across multiple chargers connected to a single electrical circuit, reducing the need for expensive electrical upgrades. PlugOp's algorithms learn user driving behavior to ensure efficient electricity use and transparently inform users of charging times, maintaining a seamless user experience. The software is hardware agnostic, working with any OCPP-compliant charging hardware, and provides features like assigned charging for multi-family residences, station utilization analytics, and a profitability dashboard.
Target Audience
PlugOp's primary customers are property managers of apartment complexes, hotels, workplaces, and public charging locations looking to implement or scale their EV charging programs cost-effectively.
