Charge SOM

Individual charging controllers

Get in touch

chargebyte and PHYTEC have joined forces to make the development of EV charging controllers easier and faster.

The chargebyte Charge SOM is an EVSE-on-module with EVerest open source software stack. PHYTEC develops and manufactures individual carrier boards to transform the Charge SOM into a ready-to-deploy charge controller with all necessary interfaces. Modular design saves time and costs, and enables shorter time to market.

Future-Proof Charging Controller Design

Cyber Resilience Act, ISO 15118-20, OCPP, payment systems, backend integration — charging infrastructure is getting more complex fast. This article shows how an open, modular charging controller architecture can reduce development effort, avoid vendor lock-in, and help manufacturers adapt faster to new requirements without sacrificing flexibility or differentiation.
