What's Place to Plug?

Place to Plug was born as a collaborative platform in 2015 in order to unify charging points of private users, and today we have become a platform with an end to end solution for the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry.

What does it mean?

On the one hand, the heart of the project is Connect, a control center for EV charging points that allows managing any type of charging station, thanks to which we can obtain metrics and statistics adapted to your needs.

On the other hand, we offer an app for EV drivers designed to offer the best charging experience. It will allow you to access a map with more than 180,000 charging stations, choose the one that is closest to you and even reserve it, and charge your vehicle to the point you have chosen.

And finally, we offer Developer, a platform for developers which allows integrating Place to Plug in any third-party system, app or website. In addition, we also offer a real-time API.

Control center for the EV charging stations management

Connect provides more than 100 features to cover all the needs of operators and owners of charging points, and offers an exceptional design in terms of user interaction.

The most advanced EV charging stations management system on the market will allow you to obtain real-time information, statistics tailored to the needs you have as an operator (whether you are an individual owner, a small business, a company or a large corporation), and offers multiple features and advanced parameters:

• Complete information about statuses and charging sessions, as well as notifications and issues

• Real-time assistance that allows you to stay in touch with your users at any time

• Custom tariffs taking into account any desired variable

• Charging area management and charging session management

• Booking management

• User and group management as well as vehicle and fleet management

• Billing and payments management

• Activation with RFID card

And, in addition, custom statistics will allow you to obtain graphs and reports about the electricity consumed, the charging time, the CO2 savings, your income, etc. In short, Connect allows you to remotely manage any EV charging point quickly and easily, allowing you to get the most out of your charging station:
