How We Helped a European Startup Launch Scalable EV Charging Platform

Client Overview

Our client is a fast-growing e-mobility startup based in Europe, focused on making EV charging accessible and manageable for businesses, residential societies, and commercial spaces.

Their goals were clear:

Allow organizations to seamlessly onboard and configure their EV chargers.
Monitor charging station activity in real-time with clear insights and usage history.
Provide a streamlined experience for end-users to initiate and pay for charging sessions.
Automate the payout process by splitting revenue between the platform and charger owners via Stripe.

‍

The Challenge

The client needed a reliable platform that could:

Let organizations onboard and manage their EV chargers.
Collect and process real-time charging session data.
Handle user payments and automatically distribute earnings to charger owners.
Work across different charger brands and hardware setups.
Be secure, fast, and easy to use on both desktop and mobile.

They were using spreadsheets and multiple tools, which led to delays, errors, and poor user experience.

‍

Our Solution: Cloud-based Platform

We designed and developed a full-stack, cloud-based SaaS platform that:

Allows organizations to register, configure, and manage chargers.
Collects real-time data from chargers for session tracking and analytics.
Integrates with Stripe for user payments and automated payouts to organizations.
Provides admin dashboards for monitoring charging stations, users, revenue, and usage trends.
Works with multiple charger types using open standards like OCPP.

Technology Stack Behind the AI Chatbot

Frontend

We used Next.js and React to build a fast, responsive frontend that ensures seamless user experience across devices. Styling was handled with TailwindCSS, enabling a clean, consistent UI while keeping development efficient. This approach allowed the dashboard to be lightweight and maintainable, especially for real-time data visualisation from charging stations.

Backend

The backend was powered by AWS ECS for containerized service orchestration, ensuring scalability and reliability. Amazon RDS served as the primary data store for structured operational data, while Amazon Cognito handled secure user authentication. Additionally, SQS was used for asynchronous task handling, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) enabled real-time updates from charging stations without relying on polling mechanisms.

‍

Deployment

For deployment, the frontend was hosted on Vercel, offering global delivery with fast load times. The backend services were deployed on AWS, leveraging its robust infrastructure for high performance and uptime. This hybrid setup ensured that both user interface and backend APIs scaled independently and efficiently.

How We Did It: Step-by-Step

Requirement Workshop: We worked closely with the client to understand hardware integrations, user roles, and billing needs.
System Architecture: Designed a modular system to handle real-time data, multi-organization support, and secure payments.
Charger Onboarding: Built a charger registration flow that supports any OCPP-compatible charger.
Live Monitoring Dashboard: Implemented real-time status tracking for each charger, including usage history and logs.
Payments & Payouts: Integrated Stripe to handle end-user payments and automate revenue splits to organizations.
Launch & Support: Helped with production rollout and continue to support the client with new feature rollouts.
