The EV Charger Ecosystem
Different chargers. Different technologies. One operational standard.
EV chargers may perform the same basic function, but behind the casing they can be remarkably different.
Different manufacturers use different hardware, firmware, commissioning processes, connectivity arrangements, software platforms, diagnostic tools, components and technical support routes. Even different generations of charger from the same manufacturer can require different knowledge.
For landlords, managing agents and property operators with EV infrastructure across multiple buildings, this creates a particular challenge.
A mixed EV charging estate needs mixed expertise.
We don't expect one engineer to know everything.
We’re not a Rolec company. We’re not an Easee company. We’re not a Zaptec company.
We’re an EV infrastructure operations company capable of working across a mixed hardware estate.
Electric Spinach combines our own EV infrastructure expertise with a wider ecosystem of manufacturers, specialist engineers, software providers and technical support teams.
When specialist manufacturer knowledge is required, our role is to know where to go, who to involve and how to get the issue resolved.
Our clients don’t need to navigate that complexity themselves.
EV charging hardware we work with
Different hardware can mean different approaches to commissioning, connectivity, firmware, fault diagnosis, OCPP configuration, backend integration, maintenance and repair.
That’s why managing EV infrastructure requires more than conventional electrical maintenance.
The hardware can change. The Electric Spinach Standard™ doesn't.
Whatever charging technology is installed, Electric Spinach applies the same operational framework through the Electric Spinach Standard™.
Compliance
Is the infrastructure appropriately inspected, tested and managed?
Uptime
Is it working – and is there a clear route to diagnose and resolve faults when it isn’t?
Interoperability
Can the hardware, software and wider charging ecosystem work together effectively?
Operational Visibility
Can the property team see what is happening across its charging infrastructure?
Lifecycle Management
Is there a strategy for maintenance, support, upgrades and eventual replacement?
Stewardship
Is somebody actually taking responsibility for the infrastructure throughout its operational life?
One point of responsibility.
Property portfolios don’t always get to choose the EV infrastructure they inherit.
One building may contain Easee. Another Rolec. Another Project EV. An acquired asset may contain legacy equipment installed years earlier by a contractor that is no longer involved.
That shouldn’t become the property team’s problem to unravel.
Electric Spinach provides the consistency across that complexity – helping clients understand what they have, access the right technical expertise and manage different charging technologies under one operational standard.
