Why IoT Has Become Essential in Electric Vehicle Management

With IoT technology, EV charging stations can become more efficient and convenient for drivers and service workers.

FREMONT, CA: The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that is rapidly taking over the business world. In an age of Big Data, when real-time information and advanced connectivity are critical in several industries, IoT has become an essential solution that enables businesses to stay ahead.

The proliferation of “smart devices” in combination with digitalization initiatives will impact every aspect of human life and catalyze business innovations, allowing organizations to remain competitive and meet global challenges.

Since IoT produces massive amounts of data, it is a significant driver for big data analytics solutions and applications developed to process and analyze large sets of data from numerous attached or embedded sensors.

IoT in Electric Vehicles

As concerns about carbon dioxide emissions, energy conservation, and unsustainable fossil fuels grow, electrical vehicles (EVs) are becoming more common worldwide.

As the market expands, so does the demand for smart charging stations. Today, most electric vehicle fueling stations are decentralized and have a highly complex system, making them difficult to manage and maintain for on-site personnel.

EV Charging Stations Challenges

For example, EV charging stations must always be online because users charge their cars through an app, but if a station goes offline unexpectedly, it must be repaired as quickly as possible. Data transmission is a vulnerability because necessary data is frequently not delivered on time.

EV charger stations become smart, connected, and easily accessible for remote support and maintenance due to IoT technology.

EV Charging Analytics for Clients: IoT Powered Apps

Drivers can also use the IoT-powered charging apps to find a near the area station and schedule a time to fill up.

The app automatically notifies drivers if the station is available and allows them to reserve it when necessary. The IoT-powered software analyses numerous factors like exact charging time, weather conditions that may affect charging times, and cable position, so users can access all real-time information about charging processes.

Applying MSTS.IoT for EV Charging Stations

MSTS.IoT can also be used to make electric vehicle (EV) charging stations smarter. MSTS.IoT, which connects charging stations, enables easier maintenance and management of charging devices and fueling processes through a user-friendly platform. The platform allows station owners, local service providers, global equipment vendors, and EV drivers to collaborate.
