Charging on your business site
A car park with charge points raises three questions: who may charge, how much power the building has spare, and what was used. Plugchoice handles all three, on chargers of any brand, with a free platform.
Access, power and accounting
At a workplace these are three separate problems that usually end up in three separate systems. Here they sit in the same portal.
Who may charge
You decide per charge point or per site which cards may start a session, and you can start, stop and unlock remotely. A card the reader has seen can be added with a tap.
How much power there is
Dynamic load balancing reads what the rest of the building is drawing and adjusts the allowance for the charge points in real time. Power sharing splits that allowance across the points actually charging, so more of them fit on the same connection.
What was used
Every session hangs off the card that started it, with time, kWh and connector. Export to CSV or Excel whenever you like, so the numbers reach the books without an integration project.
What you get out of the box
The platform is free for every OCPP charger you connect. None of the following costs extra.
Any brand, no lock-in
One account manages every OCPP charger on the site regardless of who made it. Expand later with a different brand and nothing about the management changes.
Real-time status per charge point
Per connector you see whether it is free, charging, finishing or faulted, in one vocabulary across every brand.
Remote start, stop and unlock
When a cable is stuck or a session has to end, you handle it from the portal or the app instead of walking the car park.
Dynamic load balancing
The main fuse is never exceeded because the allowance for the charge points moves with the rest of the building. Part of the free platform.
CSV and Excel export
Sessions and meter data download as a file, ready for the books or a recharge to a tenant.
Wire it into your energy management
Twenty energy management systems can read from and steer chargers through us, so a charge point becomes as controllable as the battery or the heat pump.
Never a cut of the session
If you recharge costs, billing is a flat monthly amount per charger. We never take a percentage of what is charged through it.
Automatic per-user invoicing is part of the Billing module, expected in Q4 2026. Until then the export is the route.
And when that backoffice drops
If a downstream backoffice goes offline, we hold its OCPP messages and replay them on reconnect instead of losing them. Their outage stops being your gap in the data.
Ready for the EPBD
The EPBD sets requirements for charge points and pre-cabling in buildings, scaled by parking spaces and heaviest for non-residential stock. A socket is not enough: the points have to be able to modulate their power. That is exactly what smart charging on any OCPP charger does.
Alongside your existing backoffice
If a platform is already running, nothing has to be migrated. The charger keeps one OCPP connection, to us, and we relay it onward to the backoffice it was already talking to. Nothing goes offline and nobody visits the site.

Connect a charger and see for yourself. The platform stays free no matter how many charge points you have.
