Access is Everything

Ubiquitous charging infrastructure addresses the social and technical challenges of EV charging in apartment buildings and shared parking lots.

The barriers to EV charging in apartment buildings are often issues of simple logistics: if a small number of high-capacity chargers are congested, drivers are forced to monitor and manage the sequencing and sharing of chargers. The process is frustrating, time consuming, and inefficient.

inCharge addresses these practical problems by presenting building owners with an affordable and scalable charging solution, with convenience and automation as foundational goals.

An EV1 outlet

Combined Energy inCharge EV outlet

The inCharge EV outlet is a simple and affordable solution for increasing access to charging in shared parking areas, allowing plug-in vehicle chargers up to 15A to be coordinated together with Level 2 chargers within the constraints of the building electrical system.

Users simply plug in their charger and authenticate with RFID (or via the app) to begin charging. The inCharge EV outlet is applicable beyond EV charging as a swap-out replacement for existing outlets in common areas, granting authenticated access and billing reconciliation for any application.

inCharge has tools for everyone

Access ControlinCharge supports RFID and App authentication via QR code for tenant charge sessions, enabling comprehensive access control and reporting of charge sessions on a per-tenant, per-charger basis. Tenant accounts can be created and managed via the inCharge dashboard.
Monitoring and AnalysisThe inCharge dashboard provides building managers with live monitoring of charger availability and utilisation, as well as visibility of the most acute electrical system constraints for planning future upgrades.
Flexible AdministrationWhere electrical system limitations prevent simultaneous charging for all connected vehicles, inCharge can be configured to enforce a preferred policy for prioritising sessions. This can include limiting the max charging power or total energy, or specifying explicit priorities for tenants based on their individual circumstances.
Cost RecoveryinCharge includes powerful energy and cost accounting tools for building managers, facilitating on-demand report generation for reconciliation with tenants.
