ChargeOnSite - EV Charging Management Software

How ChargeOnSite built a charger-agnostic platform and moved beyond white-label software.

ChargeOnSite delivers EV charging across commercial and multifamily properties managed by major real estate operators.

As an EV charging infrastructure provider, ChargeOnSite needed a partner to build and evolve its software.

The challenge: scaling beyond rented software

ChargeOnSite started with a familiar EV charging problem, rented software worked at a small scale, but limited control as the network grew.

A single hardware vendor limited charger choice and white-label software removed that limit, but introduced new costs and lock-in at larger scale.

  • Per-charger costs grow fast

    Per-charger licensing that's cheap at 20 units is punishing at 2,000.

  • Long locked in contracts

    Once signed for 2–3 years, every new feature depends on the white-label provider.

  • Expensive Migration

    Price increases leave you choosing between higher fees and a costly migration.

ChargeOnSite wanted charger flexibility without any vendor lock-in.

What we built: one platform, any charger

We engineered ChargeOnSite's platform end to end — charging, energy, billing, apps and operations in one system.

  • Charger-agnostic core

    Support multiple brands and migrate OCPP 1.6 to 2.0.1 live.

  • Grid & energy management

    Balance and control charging load across multiple sites.

  • Session management

    Manage charging from plug-in through payment and monitoring.

  • Billing & accounting

    Connect Stripe payments to Zoho through automated API flows.

  • Driver & property apps

    Give drivers and property teams one branded experience.

The hard part: OCPP integration when there was no playbook

The work began in 2022, when public guidance on OCPP, charger communication and real-world hardware behavior was limited.

Built integrations from scratch. There was no mature implementation playbook to copy from.

Handled compliant and non-compliant chargers, different hardware behavior and one consistent driver experience.

We evolved without rebuilding, kept the live platform current as protocols and requirements changed.

The result: a charger-agnostic platform they own

ChargeOnSite now runs charging, energy, billing and support on software it owns.

  • Charger-agnostic for good

    ChargeOnSite can onboard any hardware brand, never blocked by a vendor relationship.

  • Built to scale

    Continuously scaling without per-unit license bills or a lock-in clause.

  • Full ownership

    ChargeOnSite owns the platform and its data.

  • One branded network

    15,000+ charging sessions across different locations.
