What is smart charging?

Smart charging is software that controls when and how EVs charge, instead of every charger drawing full power the moment a vehicle plugs in. It moves charging that can wait into cheaper hours, reacts when the grid is under stress and shares power fairly at busy sites. Load management, which decides how much power each charger gets within your site limit, is a key part of it, with its own page.  EV charging load management

What YoCharge smart EV charging software does

  1. Scheduled charging. Set when charging should happen, by site, charger or user group.

  2. Time-of-Day charging. Follow your Time-of-Day tariff: hold flexible charging until off-peak hours and charge less when energy is expensive.

  3. Peak shifting. Move demand out of your site’s peak window to avoid high-demand periods.

  4. Demand response. Reduce charging when the grid signals a peak event, then restore it afterwards.

  5. Load management. Share your site’s power by FIFO, priority or battery level.

  6. OCPP smart charging. YoCharge sends charging profiles to OCPP chargers that support smart charging, over OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1.

A day of smart charging

A 24-hour timeline for one site:

  1. Morning: a few vehicles charge at full power; plenty of capacity.

  2. Evening peak: Time-of-Day rates rise, so flexible sessions are paused or slowed and urgent ones continue.

  3. Grid event: a demand-response signal arrives, and charging across the site drops for its duration.

  4. Night (off-peak): scheduled charging catches up while energy is cheapest, and every vehicle is ready by morning.

Demand response

Demand response for EV charging: when your utility or the grid signals a peak, YoCharge can lower charging power across your sites for the duration of the event and restore it when it ends. Your network helps keep the grid stable, and urgent sessions keep their priority.

Smart charging in India

  • Time-of-Day tariffs: schedule charging around your DISCOM’s Time-of-Day rates.

  • Sanctioned load: keep every site within its sanctioned load with load management.

  • Works on the chargers India uses: 99%+ of public chargers operating in India currently run OCPP 1.6J, and YoCharge’s smart charging works over it.

Beyond smart charging

  • V2G and V2H: let vehicles send power back to the grid or home.

    V2G / V2H charging

  • Virtual power plant: pool your chargers into a grid resource.

    VPP

  • The full platform: monitoring, billing and operations.

Smart charging: questions buyers ask

What is smart EV charging?

It’s charging controlled by software: when each vehicle charges, at what power and in what order, based on tariffs, grid signals and your site’s limit.

What’s the difference between smart charging and load management?

Smart charging decides when and how charging happens. Load management, part of smart charging, decides how much power each charger gets within the site limit.

Can YoCharge schedule charging around Time-of-Day tariffs?

Yes. Set Time-of-Day schedules so flexible charging waits for off-peak hours.

Does YoCharge support demand response?

Yes. When a peak event is signalled, YoCharge reduces charging power across your sites and restores it afterwards.

Which chargers support smart charging?

OCPP chargers that support smart charging (charging profiles), over OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1. 60+ charger brands are already integrated with YoCharge.

Does smart charging work in India?

Yes. It works with Time-of-Day tariffs and sanctioned load, over OCPP 1.6J, which 99%+ of India’s public chargers run.

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.
