Phy ChargePlatform-as-a-service for EV Charge Point Operators

All the tooling you need to run your EV charging business

Phy Charge is built for CPOs and anyone running an EV charging business. One platform handles payments, authorisation, invoicing, dashboards, ops control, monitoring, roaming, and connectivity, so you can launch and scale charging infrastructure without stitching together your own tooling. Hardware-agnostic and OCPI 2.3.0 Ready. Payments are built in—cards, Apple Pay, instant EFT, and tap-to-pay at the charger, all collected for you and paid out to your bank account.

Collections and payouts

Payments built in. Every session is charged, reconciled against the kWh delivered, and paid out to your bank account.

No gateway contracts to negotiate and no merchant onboarding to run yourself—collections happen the moment a session ends, and payouts run on a schedule you control.

Cards

Visa and Mastercard, credit and debit, with 3D Secure handled for you.

Apple Pay

Drivers pay with the card already in their wallet—no card number typed at a charger in the rain.

Instant EFT & bank transfer

Pay straight from a bank account, confirmed in real time—useful for fleet and account customers.

Card and wallet payments powered by Paystack. In-person tap-to-pay runs on our POS terminals, and RFID or QR wallets can be topped up with any of the methods above.

App-less charging, three ways. Give drivers a way to pay that doesn't require downloading anything.

POS Terminal

Tap and pay. Anonymous, no roaming fees, reliable for walk-up in-person payment.

Branded RFID Cards

Top up a wallet with an email address and a one-time OTP. Prepaid or postpaid, with daily and monthly limits you control. Fleet cards supported.

QR Codes

Semi-anonymous charging. Top up by email; unused balance stays in a wallet and redeems on the next session with just an OTP.

Automatic invoicing. Every session ends with a branded invoice, emailed automatically, with a payment link included.

RFID cardholders can log into the driver portal anytime to review session history and costs.

One dashboard, full control. The Phy Charge Organisation Dashboard is where CPOs run their operation.

  • Track charging sessions in real time and historically
  • Connect chargers yourself in minutes with self-serve onboarding
  • Manage chargers and connectors
  • Control access for the public, tenants, staff, or fleets
  • Follow up on invoices and payments
  • Manage locations and operating hours
  • Export session data and reports for accounting and audits
  • White-label the driver portal, invoices, and RFID cards
  • List chargers on the Phy Charge public EV charger map
Roaming & discovery

Get your chargers discovered. Every charger you run on Phy Charge is visible to drivers the moment it comes online.

Public charger map

Publish any site to the Phy Charge public EV charger map with live availability and pricing. No app download for drivers.

Listed on Google

Feed charger location, connector types, live availability, and pricing into Google, so your sites show up in Google Maps and Search.

OCPI 2.3.0 Ready

Roam with external networks and e-mobility providers over OCPI 2.3.0—share locations, tariffs, sessions, and CDRs both ways.

See it live on the Phy Charge public EV charger map. Chargers on Phy Charge are also part of the built-in roaming network—drivers from other Phy Charge CPOs can charge at your sites, and yours can charge at theirs.

Pricing that scales with you. One invoice, once a month.

Grow

R5 per session, capped at R70/month per station, unlimited after

Best for lower or variable utilisation sites.

Scale

R50 fixed fee per charger, unlimited sessions

Best for high-utilisation sites.

Platform fee to drivers: 8.5% of session value, shown clearly at checkout. No surprises.

Flexible, automated tariffs. Price sessions per session, per minute, or per kWh.

Set Time of Use tariffs that automatically adjust pricing by time of day, synchronised to your grid supplier's time-of-use schedule (e.g. Eskom)—set it once, it stays current.

Hardware control

Built for real operations. Manage your hardware, not just your software.

Remote reboot

Remote reboot for any charger.

Current limits

Set current limits per charger.

Live kVA management

Manage live kVA demand across multiple chargers on a shared, constrained main feeder.

Fault monitoring & alerts

Automatic detection of offline chargers, faults, and failed sessions, with alerts to your ops team.

OCPP diagnostics

Inspect OCPP message logs and push configuration changes to any charger from the dashboard.

A real solution for sites where the grid connection—not the number of chargers—is the limiting factor.

OCPP 1.6 & 2.0.1 · OCPI 2.3.0

Industry-standard connectivity. A custom-built OCPP Gateway keeps communication with your chargers reliable.

Hardware-agnostic by design—bring any OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1 charger, mix vendors on a single site, and manage them all from one place. OCPI 2.3.0 Ready for roaming and for sharing live charger data with third parties.

API & MCP Server

Open by design. Every piece of data and control visible in the dashboard is available over API.

Build integrations with your ERP, accounting system, or internal tools. Request outbound live charger data whenever you need it.

MCP Server—connect AI agents directly to your charging data. Ask questions, generate ad hoc reports, no dashboard required.
