How to explain charging management systems to a five- year- old
The number of electric vehicles in India is constantly increasing. But how do charging stations infrastructure manage to cope with this growth?The smart charging station is a new advantageous charging method.
What is charging management system
Electric vehicle charging management system is an end-to-end software solution for managing EV charging operations, EV charging billing, energy management, EV driver management, and EV Fleet management. The CMS is typically fully automated and doesn’t need human attention, but it can send critical alerts if necessary. Besides the fundamental monitoring functionalities, modern EV charging systems also help to optimize the charging site operations.
Smart charging features
Power sharing
The first important feature of Smart Charging is Power Sharing, also known as levelling or load balancing.
Let us take an example for better understanding
Available power at the charging station (50 kW),assume each vehicle can be charged up to 43 kW
In the first use case, there is only one vehicle and therefore it will receive the maximum power available, 43 kW. In the second use case there are two vehicles and each of them will be charged with 25 kW (half the maximum power available). In the last use case, there are three vehicles, and each of them will be charged with about 16 kW (one third the maximum power available).

A Smart Electric terminal connected to its user
Internet connection that allows the terminal to send various data to its user (duration, speed or power of the recharge, etc.)
For companies, this information will be valuable for correctly billing the cost of recharging to the customer. It will also help to determine the exact electricity consumption by cars in a company fleet
The Shared Terminal
Some smart charging station models make it possible to activate the addition of users.For example, the tenants of a multi-unit building using a shared charging station could then calculate and appropriately distribute the charging costs between the different users.
