Problem
Property owners and managers often face high electrical upgrade costs, complex charger management, and unreliable operation when installing EV charging infrastructure, which limits the ability to provide scalable, accessible charging for residents, tenants, and visitors.
Solution
SWTCH Cortex delivers an integrated EV charging platform that combines cloud‑based management with on‑site computing to ensure continuous operation even during internet outages. Advanced load‑management technology allows unlimited charger deployment on existing electrical panels, eliminating costly upgrades. Wireless networking reduces installation time and expense, while the OCPP‑compliant hardware and software provide open, vendor‑agnostic flexibility. A unified portal lets operators set dynamic pricing, enforce loitering rules, and generate detailed energy and financial reports. Drivers access chargers via a mobile/web app or RFID card, receiving real‑time availability and reservation features, while 24/7 monitoring and optional SWTCH Care+ support maintain high uptime.
