Next wave of EV charging is coming! Connectivity will play a major role resulting in major challenges:

Low reliability

Most charging infrastructure is not well suited for underground environments or areas with bad internet connection. The result is a highly unreliable charging network that is expensive to operate and comes with a low user satisfaction. With HeyCharge this is different: all time critical transactions will be performed immediately - no more waiting, no more frustration.

High cost

Installation and operation of smart charging networks can be pretty expensive due to high labor cost and long installation process. With HeyCharge you don't need special trained installers. Every electrician can do it. Also we significantly reduce the installation time and set you up for a fast scaling business.

High complexity

Today planning, setup and operations of smart chargers is a big challenge for installers and operators of charging networks. HeyCharge reduces the complexity on all levels by enabling an easy and standardized approach.

How HeyCharge can help solving these challenges?

In a nutshell - HeyCharge is a hardware enabled SaaS platform that enables simplicity all around EV-charging including user experience, installation and operations. Our technology  allows building highly scalable and profitable charging networks in low connectivity environments. Exactly what is needed in the upcoming years!

Packaged into small hardware components HeyCharge can be integrated into 3rd party chargers!

Board-to-board Integration
With the HeyCharge SecureCharge Module (SCM) a cost optimised integrated solution can be provided. HeyCharge provides a API for all integration partners who are interested in adding offline features to their proposition.

On-board Integration
The ultimate integration is achieved by hosting the HeyCharge firmware on the existing 3rd party mainboard. This eliminates additional BOM costs and provides the most flexible offer for customers

HeyCharge technology provides multiple benefits to solve future EV-charing challenges by offering:

Perfect USER Expercience

Today’s smart charging infrastructure is not very well suited for underground environments. This is because it relies on a permanent internet connection to the charger and also on the user’s smartphone having a mobile network signal. That fact drives the cost of hardware, installations and operations and also often leads to bad user experience when no network coverage is available.

At HeyCharge we are dedicated to build the best in class user experience based on a full digital process. No RFID cards - just the HeyCharge app enables simple usage and provides full cost transparency.

Integrated billing

Using the integrated HeyCharge billing functionality  you can significantly reduce the operations efforts of your facility managers and asset managers. Individual energy consumption  is invoiced via the HeyCharge backend  directly to the user.  Access control to selected chargers can be granted within seconds. ia the HeyCharge management portal. You receive the exact overview of the consumed energy amount of the individual users. The recorded energy consumption can be settled directly with the user for a defined period.

integrated load Management

Our integrated load management feature becomes essential when demand for EV charging grows faster than the power capacity within a building. As soon as a certain power limit is reached, the HeyCharge charging network will optimizes itself and will find the perfect balance for every power demand situation.

The communication between the chargers is based on a reliable wireless ZigBee communication and integrates the load management feature itself directly on  the HeyCharge wallbox. This eliminates the need for external management hardware and decreases installation complexity, efforts and costs. 

End-2-End integration into 3rd party chargers, Apps and Platforms

Hardware Development Kit (HDK)
Upgrading your EV charger to the next level? Our SecureCharge Module (SCM) can be Integrated/retrofitted in common intelligent AC/DC charging products. With the SecureCharge Module you receive the patent-pending SecureCharge technology - no internet connection required anymore.

Software Development Kit (SDK)
If you have your own app you can easily and quickly integrate all features of the HeyCharge with the HeyCharge SDK. It is available for Android and iOS and more.

Application Programming Interface (API)
The HeyCharge API enables a full integration with your backend and IT systems. Together with our tech-team we can extend and integrate the interface based on your requirements.
