A Comprehensive Guide to EV Charging Management Software Solution

Driivz

This software is typically developed by EV manufacturers (OEMs) or sourced through a supply chain from specialized vendors (Tier 1 / Tier 2) and built into EVs by dedicated integrators or by OEMs themselves. Batteries are DC power supplies, meaning DC chargers can be simpler, more efficient, and more sensitive to charge levels.
