Development Of A Cross-platform Mobile Application For Android/iOS In EV Chargers Domain
Challenges
Designing a platform with three distinct tiers for different user groups (end users, station partners, system owners) required careful structuring to ensure seamless functionality and user-friendliness across the board.
Providing real-time updates on charger availability, status, and charging progress demanded a reliable and fast communication system between the charging stations and the application to ensure accurate and timely information for users.
Ensuring a secure and user-friendly payment system within the mobile app required integrating diverse payment methods while maintaining stringent security protocols to protect user data and transactions.
Design a good scale cloud infrastructure. As the system grows with the number of chargers, it is crucial to support the growth, performance, security, and innovation required in the electric vehicle ecosystem.
Our Approach
Our team structured the platform into three tiers to meet the specific needs of station partners, owners, and system administrators.
We developed OCPP protocol on the server side to communicate with the charger. This protocol allows the system to receive charger status updates, heartbeat checks, charging transaction details and so on.
We used AWS best practices for the OCPP platform systems to build highly-scalable, low-latency electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator system.
