This is the vision driving PHYTEC’s advanced embedded ecosystem. By integrating proven hardware with a flexible open-source software stack, the company delivers a highly scalable solution designed to meet the complex needs of modern electric vehicle (EV) charging. This approach is rooted in decades of experience as a global leader in embedded systems and industrial IoT platforms, ensuring a foundation of modularity, openness, and future-readiness.

At the heart of this innovation lies a powerful architecture, beginning with the main Controller Core. This control unit manages all AC charging operations and is essential for establishing secure, efficient communication between the station and the EV. Crucially, this unit supports key global charging standards, including OCPP 2.0.1 and ISO 15118, guaranteeing seamless interoperability across diverse EV models and backend management systems.

The true intelligence, however, resides in the Processing Engine, which utilizes the robust phyCORE-AM62x System on Module (SoM). Powered by dedicated ARM Cortex-A53 and M4F cores, this module handles the demanding tasks of real-time data analysis, complex power control algorithms, and continuous monitoring directly at the edge of the network. This local processing capability is vital for providing the secure and stable operation required for long-term industrial deployments, enabling features like immediate dynamic load management.

To accelerate time-to-market, the EVCS-Cube Development Kit provides a plug-and-play platform. By combining the core controller and compute modules, it enables rapid prototyping, firmware development, and rigorous performance testing for R&D teams and educational purposes.

The entire system is unified by its Software Stack, which runs on EVerest, an open-source framework specifically developed for EV charging applications. This choice allows for deep customization and supports advanced functions like local energy management and dynamic load-balancing, which are critical for grid-friendly operation. The robust phyVERSO-EVCS electronics platform supports this software, making it a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for everything from safe residential setups to scalable commercial installations.

Use Cases

  • Residential — Safe and simple home charging setup

  • Commercial — Scalable installation for offices or parking facilities

  • Education — Hands-on learning for students studying embedded EV systems

  • Development — Prototyping and testing platform for R&D teams

This fusion of embedded design expertise and practical functionality provides the next generation of smart, sustainable, and connected EV charging solutions for home, research, and industry.
