Charging load that answers to the grid
For a utility, EV charging is either a distribution headache or a flexible asset, and the difference is control. zevOS treats charging load as something to be shaped: priced by hour, capped per site, and reported network-wide with the granularity a planner needs.

Does this sound familiar
Where you probably are right now
- 01You are a discom, a generator or a state energy body deploying or overseeing charging.
- 02Evening peak coincides exactly with when drivers want to charge.
- 03You need charging data at feeder and site level for planning.
- 04You are administering or overseeing a public charging programme.
What gets in the way
The problems, and what answers each one
Every answer links to the feature that does the work, so you can check the claim rather than take it.
Charging piles onto the evening peak
Time-of-day tariff windows make off-peak charging materially cheaper, and charging profiles enforce the physical ceiling regardless of what the driver would prefer.
No visibility into charging load
Energy delivered by hour, by site and by connector across the network, exportable and available through the API for your own planning systems.
Public charging tenders demand reporting
Uptime, energy, session counts and utilisation reporting per site and per period, with the underlying records retained for audit.
Programme operators report numbers you cannot verify
Give each operator their own scoped tenant and read the same underlying records yourself. Availability and energy are computed from connector state and meter values rather than from a submitted figure.
What changes
What you can do that you could not before
- Charging load shifted toward off-peak hours by price and by profile
- Site-level and feeder-level energy visibility for planning
- Reporting that satisfies public-tender obligations
- Programme-wide oversight without relying on operators’ own reporting
Commercial shape
Enterprise agreement
Utility deployments involve procurement, data-residency and reporting obligations that belong in a negotiated contract rather than a self-serve plan.
How pricing worksQuestions
What people in your position ask
Can charging respond to a grid signal?
Today, charging is shaped by time-of-day schedules and enforced site ceilings. Live demand-response signalling is on the roadmap and would build on the same charging-profile mechanism.
Where is the data stored?
On Indian cloud infrastructure, with residency and retention terms that can be fixed contractually.
Can we enforce a hard site ceiling rather than a price signal?
Yes — a charge point maximum profile is pushed to the unit and enforced there, so the limit holds even if the platform connection drops. Price shapes behaviour; the profile enforces the physical constraint.
