Limited Charger Information = Poor Decision-Making
Even for the chargers they do control, CPOs have shockingly little useful data.
Most CPOs receive:
Status logs (online/offline)
Session start and stop times
Energy dispensed
But they lack critical insights into how their chargers are actually performing in real-world conditions.
What CPOs Donāt Know:
How often are users failing to start a charge? If users are repeatedly failing to connect, it could indicate hardware issues, authentication problems, or power instabilityābut CPOs donāt have visibility into these patterns.
Whatās causing failed sessions? A session might fail due to grid power fluctuations, broken connectors, or payment errors, but most CPOs canāt pinpoint the root cause remotely.
Is a chargerās power output stable? Power inconsistencies can cause slow charging speeds or unexpected shutdowns, leading to frustrated users.
Are some stations underutilized due to poor placement? If certain chargers are consistently empty, it could be due to inconvenient locations, safety concerns, or pricing issuesābut CPOs donāt get this insight from their dashboards.
Without this data, CPOs are forced to make operational decisions blindly.
They donāt know which chargers to prioritize for maintenance. They canāt optimize pricing based on real-world demand. They have no way to improve the user experience proactively.
š CPOs donāt just need basic uptime logsāthey need real intelligence about how their network is performing.
