EV Charging Load Management Software
Add more chargers to the connection you already have.
Charging on a limited grid connection? YoCharge’s load management software shares the power you have across every charger, second by second, so you can install more chargers without upgrading your supply or tripping your site.

What is EV charging load management?
Load management controls how much power each charger draws so the whole site stays within its limit. Static load management gives every charger a fixed share, even when some are idle. Dynamic load management watches live demand and moves unused power to the chargers that need it, so each vehicle charges as fast as the site allows. You’ll also hear it called load balancing or DLM. It’s one part of smart charging, which also decides when charging happens.
How load management software works
An EV charger load management system in three steps:
Set your site limit. Enter the power your connection allows, such as your sanctioned load.
Chargers report live. Every connected charger reports what it’s drawing, moment to moment.
YoCharge shares the power. It sends each charger a limit through OCPP charging profiles and adjusts it as vehicles arrive, finish or change priority.
Note: load management works with OCPP chargers that support smart charging (charging profiles), over OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1. OCPP software
Choose how power is shared
Four rules, which you can combine:
First in, first out (FIFO). Vehicles that plug in first charge first; the next in the queue picks up the power as each one finishes.
Priority tiers. Mark users or vehicles as Guest, Regular or VIP, and VIPs get power first.
By battery level. Vehicles with the lowest charge get more power, so everyone leaves with a usable charge.
Higher-rated chargers first. Send power to your faster chargers first, to get the most out of every kilowatt.
Plus Time-of-Day scheduling: move charging that can wait into cheaper off-peak hours.
Example: keeping a cab depot on schedule
Illustrative example. The numbers are for explanation, not a customer result.
An EV cab operator charges its fleet at a depot with a 150 kW sanctioned load and ten 30 kW DC chargers (300 kW if all ran flat out).
Without load management: only five chargers can run at once. Drivers juggle plugs by hand, and one mistake trips the supply or exceeds the sanctioned load.
With FIFO load management: all ten cabs plug in when they return. The first five to arrive charge at full 30 kW. When a cab finishes (a 20% → 80% top-up of a ~30 kWh battery takes about 36 minutes at 30 kW), its power passes straight to the next cab in the queue. All ten are topped up in about 72 minutes, without ever crossing 150 kW.
Cabs due out first: mark them as priority, and they move up the queue.
Overnight charging: Time-of-Day scheduling holds the bulk of charging for off-peak hours.
Where load management pays off
Housing societies and apartments: add chargers for residents without a new transformer.
Fleet depots: keep vehicles charged to schedule on a fixed connection.
Workplaces: share a building’s spare capacity across employee parking.
Public charging hubs: run more bays on one connection, with priority for your own customers.
Built for India’s grid
Sanctioned load: set your sanctioned load as the site limit, and YoCharge keeps every session under it.
Time-of-Day tariffs: schedule charging around your DISCOM’s Time-of-Day rates.
The standard India runs on: 99%+ of public chargers operating in India currently run OCPP 1.6J, and YoCharge’s load management works over it.
Part of smart charging
Load management decides how much power each charger gets. Smart charging also decides when: Time-of-Day scheduling, tariff-based charging and demand response. Smart EV charging software · EV-CMS
Load management: questions buyers ask
What is EV charging load management?
It’s software that controls how much power each charger draws, so a site with many chargers stays within its grid limit. YoCharge does this dynamically, moving power to where it’s needed.
What’s the difference between static and dynamic load management?
Static gives each charger a fixed share, even when others are idle. Dynamic moves unused power to active chargers in real time, so vehicles charge faster within the same limit.
How does first-in-first-out (FIFO) work?
Vehicles that plug in first are charged first. When one finishes, its power passes to the next in the queue automatically.
Can I prioritise some vehicles or users?
Yes. Set users or vehicles as Guest, Regular or VIP, and higher tiers get power first. You can also share power by battery level or favour higher-rated chargers.
Does it work with my chargers?
It works with OCPP chargers that support smart charging (charging profiles), over OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1. 60+ charger brands are already integrated with YoCharge.
Do I need to upgrade my grid connection?
Often not. Load management lets you install more chargers than your connection could run flat out, because they share the available power.
How does it handle sanctioned load in India?
You set your sanctioned load as the site limit, and YoCharge keeps the total charging power under it.
How long does it take to go live?
On the YoCharge-branded platform, in a day. A white-label launch takes 7 days on our side once your payment gateway and app-store developer accounts are ready; third-party approvals can stretch it to up to 6 weeks.
