Leverage ChargEye APIs

An enhanced charging infrastructure

ChargEye offers two powerful API solutions for developers, enabling full control over and access to your charging infrastructure. We provide both OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) for real-time notifications and JSON-based REST APIs for detailed data access and command functionality. Whether you’re managing vehicle fleets, integrating with mobile apps, or optimizing charging schedules, our APIs provide the flexibility and control you need.

API offering

  • OCPI API

    Ideal for real-time notifications and status updates, providing dynamic information on charging events, status changes, and transactions.

  • REST/JSON API

    Provides access to individual data points and aggregates, allowing full control of chargers, transactions, and scheduling through a clean, modern interface.

Operartions

Simplify charger management and energy optimization with real-time monitoring and automated scheduling.

Common use cases

With Kempower’s ChargEye APIs, you can build comprehensive and scalable solutions.

Typical use cases for each API

  • Real-time notifications (via OCPI)

    Receive live updates on charger or connector status changes and get instant notifications when a transaction starts or stops, enabling more dynamic system responses.

  • Remote commands to EV chargers (via REST API)

    Authorize a connector to start a charging session, stop charging on a specific connector remotely and adjust charger settings and configurations on demand.

  • Lookups (via REST API)

    List all charging stations and their statuses and retrieve the status of a specific charging station, including details of any ongoing transactions. Easily access the latest transaction history for a charging station or obtain detailed information on individual transactions.

  • Tailor-made solutions for your needs

    Build intuitive mobile apps that display real-time charger availability and transaction information for end users. It will now also be possible to develop rich, interactive dashboards to visualize charger activity, energy usage, and transaction histories. Finally, with the power of data and scheduling, you can now manage and control large-scale EV charging operations efficiently, ensuring vehicles are ready when needed while minimizing energy costs.

  • Vehicle fleet management and charging schedule optimization (via REST API

    Use the fleet management API to gather detailed data on your electric vehicle fleet, such as vehicle battery levels and state of charge (SoC). Leverage this data to create optimized charging schedules, reducing power consumption and cost by scheduling charges based on fleet data and expected departure times. Better management of power resources through dynamic scheduling results in significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

Our flexible APIs support complex scenarios, making it easy for developers to integrate and customize for a wide range of use cases —from mobile apps to fleet management platforms

Virtual Chargers

Kempower’s Virtual Charger supercharges your development team without hardware investments
