Fully Managed Evcc
as a Service

Regulation in force. The EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation 2023/1804 sets baseline requirements for public and semi-public charging. In Germany, the Eichrecht under MessEG applies the moment charging energy is on-sold rather than absorbed as an amenity. The EU Measuring Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU governs the meter inside the charger.

What we change from default. The configured charger must be MID-metered — Alfen Eve Pro-line, KEBA P40, Wallbox Pulsar Pro, or Mennekes Amtron Premium are the usual choices. evcc's OCPP server pipes meter values to a downstream billing endpoint while the front-of-house terminal reads only the QR or RFID.

Workflow. Guests scan the QR sticker on the charger. The OCPP backend authorises the session through evcc. Stripe collects payment at session end. The weekly sessions.csv lands in the accounting inbox.

One number. At €0.55/kWh and 30 kWh average per guest per night, four chargers at 60% utilisation yield around €130/day of resold energy — without taking a 5% transaction haircut on every kWh.

Operational standard. OCPP 1.6J is the de-facto integration contract between chargers and back-ends. ISO 15118-2 Plug & Charge identification is the emerging contract for vehicle-charger handshake, supported on newer hardware. Both let coworking operators avoid printing fleet cards or buying a per-charger CPO licence.

What we change from default. evcc's local OCPP listener at ws://host:8887/<stationId> is reverse-proxied behind TLS with member-level RFID allow-listing. Loadpoint priority is set so resident tenants never starve visiting members, and visiting-member sessions are capped at a sensible kWh limit.

Workflow. Tenants receive an RFID fob on contract signing. evcc's REST API mirrors monthly kWh into the coworking-space billing platform. End-of-month settlement happens in the same flow as desks and meeting rooms.

One number. A single evcc instance manages up to 16 chargers behind one grid connection through dynamic load curtailment — versus a per-charger licence model that scales linearly with the parking lot.

Standard in force. ISO 15118 Plug & Charge identification removes the need for fleet cards on capable vehicles. Eichrechtskonformität applies in Germany only if the dealership on-charges energy to a third party — for internal pool charging, the MID-meter on the charger is enough.

What we change from default. Vehicle SoC integrations per brand — BMW Connected, VW WeConnect, Renault My-R, Tesla Fleet API with a command proxy — feed evcc's planner so the next-departing vehicle is always charged to spec. Departure time and minimum-SoC are set per loadpoint, not per fleet.

Workflow. The dispatcher sets "minSoC 80% by 06:00" in the evcc UI. The planner schedules charge slots inside the cheapest two-hour window of the aWATTar or Tibber day-ahead price curve. The morning roster is ready by the time keys are handed out.

One number. For an 8-EV fleet driving 50 kWh/day each, a 6-cent spread between night and peak prices yields roughly €875/year of avoided cost — without changing driver behaviour.
