Technology We unplug managed EV chargers for multi-user environments such as apartment buildings, offices, hotels and more from the internet. Why? The IoT architecture used by most EV chargers today adds cost, installation complexity, and poor user experience when connectivity breaks down (underground, in rural environments, or even during a sporting event). Is it really OK that EV chargers stop working when too many people make a phone call? We fix it! Our patent-pending SecureCharge technology provides secure, scalable management (access control, consumption reporting, telemetry, etc) from ultra-low-cost EV chargers installed anywhere -- with no internet connection at the charger and no internet connection required on the mobile app to use the charger. This provides: Lower Cost of Ownership. HeyCharge chargers have a patent-pending communications architecture that lowers the cost of hardware, installation, and communication costs. Consumption Metering & Invoicing. Our solution covers the measurement of energy consumption for invoicing. Manage Multi-User EV Charging Operation.
