Charge SOM

Individual charging controllers

Get in Touch

chargebyte and PHYTEC have joined forces to make the development of EV charging controllers easier and faster.

The chargebyte Charge SOM is an EVSE-on-Module based on the open-source software stack EVerest. In addition, PHYTEC develops and produces customized carrier boards that transform the Charge SOM into a ready-to-use charging controller with all necessary interfaces.

Easy to get started: The Charge SOM Evaluation Kit

Evaluation kit.png

Chargebyte and PHYTEC offer a plug-and-play evaluation kit for the Charge SOM. It provides all the essential interfaces and functions for a quick start to prototyping, debugging, and the development of universal charging controllers. The kit includes a Linux operating system and an EVerest-based firmware stack.

Future-proof design of charging controllers

Cyber ​​Resilience Act, ISO 15118-20, OCPP, payment systems, backend integration – charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. This article shows how an open, modular architecture for charging controllers reduces development effort, avoids vendor lock-in, and helps manufacturers implement new requirements faster without sacrificing flexibility or differentiation.
