REST APIs For EV Charging Applications

eDRV's easy-to-use, flexible and scalable backend APIs allow you to integrate advanced charging management functionality into your applications without getting into the hassle of implementing the Open Charging Point Protocol (OCPP)

see developer docs book a meeting

Why Use Our APIs?

If you are considering an in-house OCPP implementation, consider these benefits of using eDRV APIs instead.

Save Time

Implementing OCPP from scratch is not something to be taken lightly. Our field tested charging management platform comes pre-configured with core components. Launch your apps in weeks, not months.

Webhooks

Provide a steller driver experience by building intelligent applications using webhooks. Go no-code with Zapier and IFTTT, or publish your network by integrating with mapping providers.

Customer Focus

Save thousands of dollars on development effort, and benefit from regular updates and new capabilities without needing to add staff. eDRV lets you focus on your customers.

Ready For Scale

eDRV’s cloud-based charging management infrastructure is built for tens of thousands of charging stations. Our pricing meets your needs, whether you are a startup or an enterprise.

Trusted Compatibility

eDRV works out of the box with wide range of OCPP compatible charging stations. We constantly test with vendors from around the world so you don't have to.

Connect to EV

eDRV's APIs work directly with electric vehicles, so you can further enhance your apps with EV information such as battery level, VIN number and more.

Built for Developers

Our well-documented APIs help you build EV charging applications easily. eDRV works with any unlocked, network capable EV charging station based on OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1. If you are looking to launch an EV charging application, eDRV will save you months of time and money in development and compatibility testing time. 🚀
