A Comprehensive EV Charging Management Platform Built for Efficiency, Scalability, and User Experience
The RheCharge System represents the future of EV charging infrastructure management. Our platform bridges the gap between charging station operators and EV users, providing a seamless experience for both parties through advanced monitoring, control, and data management capabilities.
Administrators can monitor charger statuses (Available, Preparing, Charging, Suspended, SuspendedEV, Finishing, Unavailable, and Faulted) in real-time, with updates delivered via WebSocket technology ensuring sub-2-second latency.
Remote operations include starting/stopping charging sessions, resetting chargers, unlocking connectors, clearing cache, retrieving configuration, and adjusting availability—all from an intuitive dashboard and adhering to the OCPP 1.6 protocol.
Operators can view detailed charger information, including serial number, vendor, model, current status, last meter value, current charging session info, and recent error logs through comprehensive monitoring interfaces.
The system records comprehensive charging session data, including transaction ID, ID tag, start/stop times, meter values, energy delivered, connector ID, and duration, all stored securely in MongoDB.
Detailed logging of charger status updates captures status, timestamp, connector ID, error codes, vendor information, and more, providing a complete audit trail for troubleshooting and analysis.
Statistics and monitoring tools aggregate data over a 30-day period, offering valuable insights into charger performance, usage patterns, and system health through intuitive visualizations.
Supports secure user authentication with JWT for web users and Firebase for mobile users, ensuring role-based access control with strict rate limiting for verification requests.
Email verification enhances security through 6-digit codes sent via Gmail using Nodemailer with styled HTML templates, protecting user accounts from unauthorized access.
Private routes ensure only authenticated users can access protected system features, with Redux managing authentication state and middleware validating API requests.
Integrated with Midtrans payment gateway for secure and flexible payment options, handling payment initiation, status checking, and maintaining detailed transaction history.
Webhooks manage payment notifications, automatically updating wallet balances and creating transaction records upon successful payments, ensuring financial accuracy.
Supports various payment methods with transparent pricing and automated reconciliation, enhancing trust and user satisfaction throughout the charging experience.
The mobile app enables users to locate nearby charging stations, check real-time availability, and initiate charging sessions with just a few taps, revolutionizing how users interact with charging infrastructure.
Users receive live updates on charging progress, remaining time, and costs, with smart notifications for session completion, enhancing transparency and convenience.
The app supports balance management, transaction history viewing, and important updates about favorite charging stations, creating a truly connected charging experience.
