Original Creator of the Leading Open-Source EV Charging Firmware Stack

Products and Technologies

• PIONIX ChargeBridge is a pre-certified charging communication frontend designed to simplify the development of EV charging systems. As a plug-and-play System-on-Module (SoM), it decouples charging communication from the main application, reducing design complexity, minimizing development risks, and accelerating time-to-market. ChargeBridge supports key charging communication interfaces and protocols, including PLC, CAN, and Modbus, and provides connectivity via Ethernet and USB.
• EVerest Integration & Engineering Services: PIONIX offers consulting and integration services based on the open-source EVerest software framework and proven reference designs. This enables manufacturers to accelerate development while ensuring standards compliance, interoperability, and cybersecurity throughout the charging infrastructure lifecycle.
• Development Kits: To support rapid evaluation and development, PIONIX provides ChargeBridge development kits. Open hardware schematics and design files are available via GitHub, enabling engineers to quickly set up development environments and evaluate EVerest-based charging solutions.

Typical Applications

• AC EV charging stations (AC EVSE)
• DC fast charging stations (DC EVSE)

Standards & Compliance

PIONIX solutions support the functional safety requirements of modern EV charging infrastructure as well as key industry standards, including:

• IEC 61851-1
• SAE J1772
• PLC communication according to ISO 15118-3
