EV Charger Dynamic Pairing
Released
Flexibility-focused products, such as electricity tariffs that rely on managed EV charging, are limited by unreliable and/or incapable EV APIs as well as the additional complexity of integrating smart chargers, restricting their market reach.
To solve this, our new EV Charger Dynamic Pairing solution automatically detects when a user's vehicle is plugged into their charger, forming a dynamic charging pair that can be fully controlled via the vehicle API. Once your user links both their vehicle and charger, you can overcome capability limitations, improve charging reliability, and simplify your integration by letting Enode handle the complex pairing logic and command orchestration between the two devices.
We have released foundational components to EV Charger Dynamic Pairing for all customers. Starting today:
Charger identification: Vehicle APIAPI responses now include a new attribute,
pluggedInChargerId, identifying which of a user's chargers is currently plugged into their vehicle. By default, this attribute will benulland will only be populated if:- The charger and the vehicle are linked to the same Enode
userId. - AND Enode has determined that the vehicle and charger are currently plugged into each other.
- The charger and the vehicle are linked to the same Enode
Improved charge rate handling: When a vehicle doesn't report a
chargeRate, we now automatically fall back to using the charger's provided rate, giving you consistent and accurate charging information.Faster plug-in detection: Reduced plug-in detection time by leveraging direct signals from the charger.
