Versinetic launches EVerest integration for smarter EV charging solutions

Leading smart EV charging consultancy, has announced the launch of its EVerest integration, a versatile and modular software stack developed under the Linux Foundation Energy initiative. This integration is designed to enhance EV charging stations, helping manufacturers and operators to innovate more rapidly in the EV charging infrastructure sector. The aim is to promote greater interoperability and standardisation within the industry.

As an established entity in the EV charging market, Versinetic, which has its HQ in Longbridge, recognises the complexities involved in quickly bringing advanced, reliable EV chargers to market. The broad feature set of EVerest, combined with its robust development community and open-source nature, makes it a preferred software platform. Nonetheless, developing additional charger components, such as hardware design, user interfaces, low-level software, custom features, and security, remains time-consuming and expensive.

To tackle these challenges, Versinetic has integrated EVerest with its Charging Blox – a trusted modular framework of hardware and firmware used across four continents. This new integration is now available, providing a proven, adaptable, and cost-effective solution without the constraints of long-term subscription models.

EVerest is versatile, able to be tailored to specific needs, whether starting from scratch or enhancing existing systems. It can be configured to incorporate a Charge Controller to enable smart charging capabilities, add smart interfaces alongside Charge Controller hardware, or to develop a full charging solution from the ground up.

Graeme Wintle, Director of Versinetic, remarked, “The launch of EVerest for EV Charging marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing innovative EV charging solutions. By leveraging the open-source EVerest platform and integrating it with our Charging Blox, we are enabling faster market entry with reliable, high-performance chargers, ultimately supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.”

The EVerest framework includes a reference implementation and a modular architecture that allows for the easy addition of new features and interchangeable modules. This open-source approach not only enables local energy management applications but also nurtures a development community that contributes to the evolving codebase. The modular design simplifies the process for charging station manufacturers to customise and expand the software according to their specific requirements.

Options for customisation include remote diagnostics, custom load balancers, and interfacing with Home Management Systems, additional hardware, payment terminals, site meters, and RFID systems.

Transitioning from development to production with EVerest’s pre-tested solutions is streamlined and straightforward.
