EV Charging Network

💡 Solution Description

The EV Charging Network template is a ready-to-run accelerator for charge point operators. It brings a network of charging stations and their OCPP 1.6 charge points into one dashboard: a live map, charge point status, remote control, grid-limit management, charging sessions, tariffs and alarms.

✨ Highlights

Turn a set of chargers into an operated, observable network with the EV Charging Network solution template. Designed for charge point operators, parking and fleet depot owners, and utilities that run public or private charging. ⚡🚗

Press Install to get a complete network — four charging stations with 22 charge points, a week of demo history, calculated fields, alarm rules and a built-in charger simulator that keeps the network alive and answers your commands.

📦 What’s inside the box?

We have auto-generated a complete charging network for you:

• 🗺️ Network overview: Stations online, cars charging now, energy and revenue today, a map of all stations colored by state, and a station list with free connectors and site power.
• 🔌 Station page: Every charge point as a tile colored by its OCPP status, site load against the grid limit, and a grid-limit stepper.
• 🎛️ Charger control: Start and stop a session, unlock the cable, reset a faulted charger and set the current limit — the charger answers within a second.
• 📈 Session curve: Power and battery state of charge of the selected charge point.
• 🧾 Sessions page: Sessions, average energy, average duration and revenue over the last 7 days, energy delivered, revenue by station, sessions per day and the latest finished sessions.
• 🚨 Alarms: Charger faults, stuck connectors, overheating, offline stations and grid-limit overloads, with acknowledge and clear.

🌟 Why use this template?

• 🚀 Interactive from the first minute: A simulator rule chain drives every charge point: cars arrive with morning and evening peaks, sessions accumulate energy, time and cost, batteries fill up and sessions finish on their own — and every button on the dashboard works.
• 🔁 OCPP-native data model: Status values follow OCPP 1.6 StatusNotification, commands use OCPP names, so an OCPP gateway can plug in without remapping.
• 🧩 Network-wide metrics without code: Calculated fields roll charge points up to stations and the network — site power, free/busy/fault counts, station state, energy and revenue.

✨ Key Features

• Remote control: Start/Stop/Unlock/Reset and the current limit are written as shared attributes (command, currentLimit) that a real charger or OCPP gateway subscribes to.
• Grid-limit management: Site load is compared with each station’s gridLimit; an alarm fires when the station runs at the limit.
• Session analytics: Finished sessions are recorded with energy, duration and cost and summed over 7 days per charge point, station and network.
• Station state on the map: Free, almost full, fault and offline stations are told apart at a glance.

🌍 Real-World Applications

This template serves as a foundation for:

• 🏙️ Public charging networks: Monitor availability and faults across sites and keep stations online.

• 🅿️ Parking operators and retail sites: Balance charging against the site’s grid connection and track revenue per station.

• 🚚 Fleet depots: Schedule and supervise overnight charging and spot stuck or faulted chargers early.
