Is anyone interested in this EV tester device?

We built this board for internal use so our engineers can test chargers without needing a real EV most of the time. It simulates the EV signals only, including fault injection. The purpose is to test the real level 2 chargers without an EV.

Curious if anyone else would want one. We're happy to open source it once the final tweaks and testing are done. If there's enough interest, we might also sell it assembled with a 3D printed enclosure. Parts alone run about $150, and $85 of that is just the Type 1 J1772 inlet. The device can be remote controlled over WIFI.

Your charging network. Your app. Your name. Free.

We built the driver app most charging operators wish they owned. EVtivity Mobile is an open-source, white-label app for iOS and Android that runs on the same EVtivity CSMS that powers your stations. Drivers find chargers, scan a QR, start and stop a session, watch live power and energy, pay through Stripe, reserve a connector, and open support cases. It ships in six languages, locks down with biometrics and device attestation, and reskins entirely from one brand file: your name, colors, icon, and legal pages.

One codebase becomes your branded app. Stand up your CSMS, add your brand, build, and ship under your own developer accounts. Running your own single network is the free path under the Business Source License 1.1, the same license as the EVtivity platform. No revenue share, no rented storefront, no third-party name between you and your drivers. The whole thing is on GitHub, documented end to end.

A charging network is more than hardware and a billing engine. It is a brand your drivers carry in their pocket. With EVtivity Mobile, that brand is yours.

The Open-Source, White-Label Mobile App for Your Charging Network and Fleet

https://preview.redd.it/b86cbn9pha8h1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba69a94e6d3d44ffee1dd11ac3a8904f23c02022

The EVtivity driver app is open source. It is an Expo and React Native app on top of the EVtivity CSMS, built to be white-labeled: brand it as your own, point it at your CSMS, and publish it under your own store accounts. Run your charging network under your own name, not someone else's.

The driver app is the part of a charging network your customers actually touch. It is where they find a charger, start a session, pay, and ask for help. For most operators it is also the part they have the least control over: a third-party app with someone else's name on it, someone else's release schedule, and a revenue share attached.

The EVtivity driver app is open source, and it is built to be yours. It is an Expo and React Native app that talks to the same EVtivity CSMS that runs your stations, and it is designed from the ground up to be white-labeled. Your name, your colors, your backend, your store listings.

Site Maintenance Mode: Take Stations Offline Without the Fallout

https://preview.redd.it/6brsq1o6di5h1.png?width=2752&format=png&auto=webp&s=387d93921cd6f98adc5403466c32fbf8271f151b

Firmware updates, connector repairs, electrical work: every charging site needs downtime. EVtivity CSMS now ships site maintenance mode - schedule a window or start one on demand, target the whole site or specific stations, and release stations one by one as work finishes.

Every charging site needs planned downtime. Firmware updates reboot stations mid-session. Connector and cable swaps need de-energized hardware. Electrical inspections, meter replacements, and civil works take whole sites dark for hours.

The downtime is not the problem. The fallout is.
