Smart Charging Orchestrator API
The Smart Charging Orchestrator API is a secure API from East-West Digital that turns charger, fleet and site data into optimised EV charging plans, so more vehicles charge on the infrastructure you already have.
Outcomes
10% to 15% lower total annual electricity costs per site
20% to 40% more vehicles served by the same infrastructure
100% of custom build cost avoided
The challenge
More EVs to charge, the same site capacity
As fleets electrify, sites must charge more vehicles on the same grid connection. Without a plan, charging competes for capacity and costs climb, and expanding infrastructure takes time and capital.
What it does
More vehicles, same site
Serve more vehicles within existing site capacity, without immediate infrastructure expansion.
Plans that fit your site
Every plan respects your site constraints, vehicle schedules and the current status of each charger.
Flexible scheduling modes
Choose scheduling as each vehicle plugs in, planning in 15 minute intervals or hybrid orchestration, to suit each site.
Lower electricity costs
Optimised charging plans help reduce each site's total annual electricity costs.
No custom build
Use an API that is already built, and avoid the cost of developing your own charging optimisation.
Governance to enterprise standards
An enterprise API gateway provides security and governance backed by an SLA (service level agreement).
How it works
Your systems send data to the API and get an optimised charging plan back.
Step 1
Send your site data
Your systems pass station status, charger telemetry, fleet data, vehicle schedules and site constraints to the API.
Step 2
Choose a scheduling mode
Choose scheduling as each vehicle plugs in, planning in 15 minute intervals or hybrid orchestration, depending on how the site operates.
Step 3
Receive an optimised plan
The orchestrator returns a charging plan through an API gateway built to enterprise standards, with security and governance backed by an SLA.
Step 4
Serve more vehicles
Your charging operations follow the plan, serving more vehicles within the capacity the site already has.
Who it's for
- EV fleet operators
- Charging site operators
- Facility and site managers
- Large commercial and industrial energy users
How to start
- 1
Discovery
We review your sites, chargers, fleet schedules and constraints, and the data your systems can send to the API.
- 2
Pilot
We run the API on a selected site and compare its charging plans with how the site charges today.
- 3
Subscription
You roll the API out to more sites, with security and governance backed by an SLA as standard.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Smart Charging Orchestrator API do?
The Smart Charging Orchestrator API generates optimised EV charging plans for a site. It takes station status, charger telemetry, fleet data, schedules and site constraints, and returns a plan that serves more vehicles within the capacity the site already has.
Do we need to expand our site's infrastructure first?
No. The Smart Charging Orchestrator API is designed to remove the need for immediate infrastructure expansion. It makes better use of existing site capacity, so more vehicles can be served before you invest in new infrastructure.
Which scheduling modes does the Smart Charging Orchestrator support?
The Smart Charging Orchestrator API supports scheduling as each vehicle plugs in, planning in 15 minute intervals and hybrid orchestration. You choose the mode that fits how each site operates.
How is the Smart Charging Orchestrator API secured?
The Smart Charging Orchestrator API is delivered through an API gateway built to enterprise standards, with security and governance backed by an SLA (service level agreement). We take you through the security and governance arrangements during discovery.
Will it work with our chargers and fleet systems?
The Smart Charging Orchestrator API works from data your systems already hold, including station status, charger telemetry, fleet data and schedules. We confirm how your specific chargers and fleet systems connect to the API during discovery.
