A Smart Approach to EV Charging

In the ever-evolving energy market, managing grid load efficiently is crucial. At Powston, we use the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) to help you navigate this challenge. Our system allows you to control EV charging based on real-time spot prices in the Australian National Energy Market.

How It Works

Every five minutes, we check the current energy prices. When prices are high, we limit charging to avoid costly intervals. When prices drop, we maximize charging to take advantage of lower rates. This approach helps you save money and reduces strain on the grid.

Getting Started

To set up your smart charging system, you need a unique OCPP key from us. This key allows you to integrate your charger with our system.
