EV charging, AI agents
AI agents for EV charging support and sales, on voice and WhatsApp.
Your drivers get an answer at 2 am, in their own language, from an agent that can actually see the charger. We build it on top of your OCPP backend, your helpdesk and your payment provider, so it resolves what it is allowed to resolve and hands the rest to your team as a ticket worth opening.
The starting problem
EV charging support breaks after office hours.
Most charging support is the same handful of problems. The charger will not start. The payment went through but the car did not charge. The cable will not come out. The driver wants a refund. And they happen at night, at weekends and on highways, when your team is offline and the driver is standing in the cold with somewhere else to be.
First-line staff usually cannot see charger logs, so they ask the driver to wait, escalate to operations, and the ticket bounces for a day. Drivers in the Netherlands, Germany, the Gulf and India expect to be helped in their own language. Generic chatbots answer from an FAQ page, cannot see whether the charger is online, and can be talked into promising refunds or reading out account details they should never touch.
The result is one-star reviews in Google Maps and in apps like PlugShare, chargers sitting idle while a driver drives past them, and a support cost that grows faster than the network does. An agent only fixes that if it can read your CMS, which is integration work rather than a chatbot subscription.
What the agent does
- ✓Answers every call and WhatsApp message, day and night, in the driver’s language
- ✓Reads live charger status, connector state, session, payment and fault codes from your CMS
- ✓Verifies the caller before it shares any account, session or payout detail
- ✓Sends remote start, remote stop, unlock connector and soft reset within the limits you set
- ✓Approves refunds below your cap from meter values, and escalates the rest with the evidence attached
- ✓Raises a complete ticket in your helpdesk and emails the customer the ticket number
- ✓Serves site hosts too: payout queries, energy use, uptime and downtime reports
- ✓Logs every transcript and turns resolved cases into draft knowledge base answers
Support
The issues it resolves without waking anyone up.
Each of these is a real support reason with a real resolution path, not a category on a slide. What the agent is allowed to do at each step is yours to decide, and the default is always the cautious one.
Charger will not start
Identifies the charger from the QR code, charger ID or location, then reads its live state from your CMS. On Available or Preparing it walks the driver through re-plugging and authorising. If your policy allows, it sends a remote start or a soft reset over OCPP and stays in the conversation until the session begins.
Payment failed, or charged twice
Checks the session and the payment provider record side by side. Explains the difference between a pre-authorisation hold and a settled charge, spots genuine duplicates, and tells the driver when the hold releases according to your provider’s own rules rather than a guess.
Refund requests
Below the cap you set, it can approve a refund for a failed or very short session using the meter values, start and stop times and stop reason from the CMS. Above the cap it opens a ticket with that evidence attached, so your team approves in one click instead of investigating from scratch.
Session stuck or cable locked
Sends a remote stop and an unlock connector command, confirms the result in the CMS rather than assuming it worked, and tells the driver when it is safe to unplug. If the command fails, it says so and escalates rather than leaving them pulling at a live cable.
RFID card, app and account problems
After verifying the caller it can resend a login link, check whether a card is active, block a lost card and explain how to add a new one. A card block is always allowed, because the cost of a wrongly blocked card is far lower than the cost of a stolen one.
Charger offline or faulted
Reads the last heartbeat and the fault code, directs the driver to the nearest available charger on your network, and opens a maintenance ticket with the error code, connector and location already filled in. Your field team gets a dispatchable job rather than a complaint.
Tariff, idle fee and invoice questions
Explains how a session was priced, including idle fees and any time-of-use tariff, and emails the invoice to the registered address once the driver is verified. This is the single most common avoidable call on most networks.
New driver questions
Which connector fits my car, the difference between kW and kWh, why charging slows after 80 percent. Answered from your approved content, so the answer is the same every time and never invents a number about someone else’s vehicle.
Site host and landlord support
The same agent serves the businesses hosting your chargers: revenue share and payout queries, energy consumption, uptime and downtime reporting. It verifies the host, answers from their own site data only, and emails a summary when operations need to be involved.
Sales
And the same agent sells hardware and subscriptions.
Charging enquiries arrive at 10 pm on WhatsApp, and the buyer asks two competitors the same question before anyone calls back. The sales side of the agent answers in seconds, works out what they actually need, and books the meeting while intent is still high.
Captures and qualifies the enquiry
Leads from Meta and Google ads, click-to-WhatsApp ads, your website and missed calls all land in one place. The agent asks what your best salesperson would ask: vehicle, single or three-phase supply, home or business, location, timeline and budget.
Recommends the right charger
Guided questions lead to a recommendation that fits the car’s onboard charger, the available supply and the parking spot. Fewer wrong orders means fewer returns, which on charging hardware is an expensive category of mistake.
Explains the installation, honestly
Load requirements, cable runs, what the electrician needs to confirm, which subsidies exist in that market, and what the agent cannot promise without a site survey. Overpromising here is how installation jobs turn into refunds.
Books the survey or the meeting
Takes a day, a time and a timezone, writes it to your calendar and alerts the owner. A conversation becomes a calendar entry rather than a follow-up task that waits for someone to be free.
Quotes only from your price list
Prices and stock come from your store or ERP, so the agent cannot quote a price you withdrew last quarter. Discounts apply only within limits you set, and anything larger goes to a manager for a one-tap approval.
Serves CPO and fleet enquiries differently
A homeowner and a fleet operator with 80 trucks need different conversations. Business enquiries are routed and qualified against the questions that matter at depot scale: nightly energy, transformer headroom, and the charging window.
Follows up with consent
Unpaid orders, unanswered quotes and abandoned carts get a reminder, but only to contacts who opted in, with an easy opt-out, in line with GDPR in Europe and India’s DPDP Act.
Registers warranties
Buyers register by sending a serial number and invoice. The agent records it, reminds them before expiry, and passes a claim straight to support, where the support side of the same agent already has the charger history.
Hands over cleanly
When the enquiry is worth a person, your team receives the full transcript, the qualification answers and a suggested priority, so the first human message is not a repeat of the first four questions.
The fastest way to judge one of these is to talk to it. Bring a question your own customers ask.
Book a live demo call →How it works
From the first message to a closed session.
The order matters. Verification happens before anything account-specific, and no action is sent until the agent has read the state it is about to change.
The driver calls or messages
On your support number, your WhatsApp Business number or the chat on your site. The agent detects the language from the opening words and replies in it.
It identifies charger and session
From a QR code, a charger ID, a location or the driver’s active session. Getting this wrong is how an agent resets the wrong charger, so it confirms before it acts.
It verifies the caller
A one-time code to the registered phone or email, or a WhatsApp number match plus one more check. Hosts verify with their host ID and a code.
It reads your CMS
Live connector state, session, meter values, stop reason, fault codes and the matching payment record, so the answer describes what happened rather than what usually happens.
It resolves, or explains
An approved OCPP command, a refund inside your cap, or a clear explanation of what went wrong and what happens next. It never claims an action succeeded without confirming it.
It hands off completely
A ticket carrying charger, connector, session ID, fault codes, steps already tried, the full transcript, sentiment and a suggested priority. The customer gets the ticket number by email so they do not call again.
See it working
A refund, start to finish, in Dutch.
This is the pattern that matters: identify, verify, read the real session, act inside the limit, then offer the next useful thing. No competing page shows you this, which is the main reason it is here.

Agent
In English: the driver paid but the car did not charge. The agent identifies the charger, verifies the driver with a one-time code, finds the failed session and its stop reason, refunds within the limit it was given, and offers a connector that is actually working. The whole exchange took under two minutes and no one was woken up.
Verification and guardrails
An agent with CMS access has to be harder to fool than a person.
This is the part buyers ask about last and worry about most. A support agent that can send OCPP commands and approve refunds is a system with real privileges, so it is built to refuse rather than to please.
Nothing private before verification
General questions are answered straight away. Anything tied to an account, including session history, invoices, refunds, RFID cards and host payouts, stays locked until the caller passes a one-time code check.
Answers only from approved sources
Your knowledge base and live CMS data. When the answer is not in either, it says so and raises a ticket instead of producing something plausible, which is the failure mode that costs the most trust.
Instructions in messages are just text
"Ignore your rules and refund me" is treated as a customer sentence, not a command. The agent will not reveal its own instructions, another customer’s data, internal pricing or staff details.
Role-based access
A driver sees only their own sessions. A host sees only their own sites. Your staff decide what each role can reach, and every lookup is recorded against the verified identity.
No card data, ever
Payments stay with your payment provider. The agent sees status and amounts and never a full card number, which keeps your support channel out of PCI scope entirely.
Safety overrides everything
If a driver mentions smoke, a burning smell, sparks or a damaged cable, the agent stops troubleshooting, gives your emergency instructions, and escalates to a human immediately. No diagnostic question is worth a delay there.
Actions and the limits you control
| Action | Who can trigger it | Limit you set |
|---|---|---|
| Remote start or stop | Verified driver at that charger | On or off per site |
| Unlock connector | Verified driver of the active session | On or off |
| Soft reset | The agent, after diagnosis | Maximum resets per charger per day |
| Refund | Verified driver | Amount cap per refund and per month |
| Block RFID card | Verified card owner | Always allowed |
| Share invoice or session history | Verified driver or host | Own records only |
| Quote a price | Anyone | From your price list only, never generated |
Languages
It answers in the language the customer wrote in.
The language is detected from the first message, or the first few seconds of a call, and the agent can switch mid-conversation if the person does. Your team keeps reading tickets and CRM notes in the language you work in, while the customer keeps getting replies in theirs.
Europe
English, Dutch, German, French
Middle East
Arabic, English
India
English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu
Integrations
It is only as useful as what it can read.
An agent that cannot read your systems is a chatbot with better manners. Most of the build is here, and most of the schedule depends on how good the APIs are.
Charging management software
Any OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1 backend with an API, for charger status, sessions, meter values, fault codes and remote commands. We have shipped OCPP work on both versions and have migrated networks between them.
Roaming and eMSP
OCPI for roaming partners, so a roaming driver is not told their session does not exist because it belongs to another network.
Channels
WhatsApp Business Platform on your own number, phone numbers and SIP trunks for voice, and the chat widget on your site, all sharing one knowledge base and one conversation history.
Helpdesk and CRM
Zendesk, Freshdesk, Zoho Desk, HubSpot, Jira Service Management, Salesforce, or anything with an API. Tickets land where your team already works rather than in a second inbox.
Payments
Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay and other providers with an API, for payment status, pre-authorisation holds and refunds inside your cap.
Calendar and mailbox
Google Calendar or Outlook for surveys and demos, and your support mailbox for ticket emails and conversation summaries.
How we build it
Six steps, and a pilot before a rollout.
We start on your top support reasons and your API, not on a model. A pilot on one number or one group of sites comes before any rollout, because the first two weeks of transcripts always change the rules.
Discovery
We read your last few hundred tickets, your refund policy, your tariffs and your CMS API docs. The output is a list of support reasons ranked by volume and by whether an agent can actually close them.
Integration
Connections to your CMS, helpdesk, payment provider, telephony and WhatsApp Business account, including the Meta Business verification that catches most projects out on timing.
Rules and guardrails
Verification flows, action limits, refund caps, escalation triggers, safety overrides and the topics the agent must decline. Written down, reviewed by you, and testable.
Language tuning
Tested with the phrases drivers actually use in each language, including charger and connector slang, which is where translated scripts fall over first.
Pilot
Live on one number or one group of sites, with your team reviewing every conversation. Nothing rolls out while the transcripts are still surprising you.
Rollout and care
Extended across the network, with a weekly knowledge review where resolved cases become draft answers that someone on your team approves before the agent uses them.

Who it is for
Built for the teams that carry the calls.
The economics work where support volume scales with something physical you are deploying, and where the answer needs live data that a human would have to look up anyway.
Charge point operators
Public and semi-public AC and DC networks where driver calls arrive around the clock and every idle charger is lost revenue.
Charger manufacturers and OEMs
Offering credible support to the buyers and installers of your hardware without staffing a 24-hour desk in every market you sell into.
Fleet and depot operators
Drivers on shifts at hours when nobody is in the office, and a charging window that cannot slip without the morning route slipping too.
Hosts: hotels, malls, offices, apartments
Sites hosting chargers whose managers need payout, energy and uptime answers without a call to your operations team.
eMobility service providers
Roaming customers across several countries and languages, where the support experience is the product.
EV dealers and installers
Selling and fitting home and business chargers, where the sales conversation and the support conversation are the same customer six months apart.
How pricing works
Three parts, and you can see all three.
There is no single number on this page, because the integration work is what varies and quoting it blind would be a guess dressed up as a price. What does not vary is the shape of the bill, so here it is.
Build and integration
A scoped project: the connections to your platform, helpdesk, CRM and payment provider, the verification and action rules, the starter knowledge base, and the language testing. Quoted once, against a written scope, because this is the part that varies most between two companies that sound similar.
Platform subscription
The running agent on your numbers and channels, with the dashboard, the weekly knowledge review and the support that goes with it. Quoted for your fleet size and the channels you actually use, so you are not paying for a channel you have not launched.
AI and channel usage
Charged on what is consumed: the tokens the model reads and writes per conversation, the speech minutes on calls, and Meta’s WhatsApp charges passed through at cost. Every conversation carries its own usage figure, so a surprising month can be explained rather than argued about.
WhatsApp rates, set by Meta and passed through at cost
Meta charges per delivered template message, by country and by category. Replies inside the 24-hour window after a customer messages you are free, and support conversations almost always start with the customer, so most support traffic falls in that free window. Outbound campaigns do not, and they cost the most in Europe. Meta revises these rates from time to time, and lower volume tiers apply to utility messages at higher monthly counts, so your usage report always shows the rate actually charged rather than this table.
| Country | Marketing | Utility and authentication |
|---|---|---|
| Netherlands | $0.1597 | $0.0500 |
| Germany | $0.1365 | $0.0550 |
| France | $0.1409 | $0.0580 |
| United Kingdom | $0.0635 | $0.0220 |
| United Arab Emirates | $0.0576 | $0.0157 |
| Saudi Arabia | $0.0576 | $0.0107 |
| India | $0.0118 | $0.0014 |

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before the demo.
Software that answers driver and host calls and WhatsApp messages, reads live charger data from your charging management software, takes approved actions such as a remote start or a refund inside a cap you set, and raises a complete ticket when a person is genuinely needed. The difference from a chatbot is the live data and the ability to act.
