Product Manager Robert Hollinshead explains how siloed EV charging can be and how eDRV’s AIOps can help clarify opaque charging transaction data and reduce friction among collaborators and partners in EV charging.

As EV adoption surges, the reliability and security of charging infrastructure hinge on the ability to update firmware remotely. This blog explains why remote firmware updates are essential for maintaining charger performance, ensuring cybersecurity, and enabling new features: all without costly site visits. Learn how remote updates work, their benefits for fleet operators and charge point providers, and how protocols like OCPP make secure, scalable firmware management possible.

As EV adoption grows, the reliability of the electric grid becomes directly tied to the performance and availability of charging stations. This blog explores why grid resilience matters for EV fleets, charging reliability, and public confidence while outlining strategies like on-site storage, microgrids, and smart load management to strengthen the charging ecosystem against future disruptions.

While many stakeholders are familiar with OCPP’s role in facilitating data and communications, fewer understand the critical importance of OCPP security profiles and the need for a structured approach to protecting EV charging and electric grid infrastructure against cyber threats. This article covers why OCPP security profiles matter and how they can create secure EV charging transactions.

Choosing the right EV charger is crucial for fleet operators aiming to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and future-proof their operations. Key considerations include understanding vehicle duty cycles, selecting between Level 2 and DC fast charging, ensuring site readiness, and investing in scalable, software-enabled infrastructure.

In our first webinar of 2024, eDRV cofounder and CTO Rupul Safaya speaks with Pon Paulraj of Heliox about the challenges of scaling EV charging networks using OCPP.
