PHYTEC, a system on module (SoM) manufacturer and systems integrator, and Pionix, an EV charging infrastructure backbone provider, have announced the phyVerso universal charging controller.

An SoM is a single printed circuit board with an embedded processing system including processor cores, communications interfaces and memory blocks. SoMs are suitable for embedding into a variety of systems from robots to security cameras to EV chargers.

The phyVerso is the result of the two companies’ collaboration with Qwello.

Qwello designs, builds, and operates charging infrastructure for public spaces in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Hamburg that only use certified green energy, which it prices at actual cost and, in addition, charges a fee for the use of the parking spot.

The phyVerso-EVSE universal charging controller supports AC and DC charging systems, and comes with the Linux operating system and Pionix charging firmware on the SoM. It is compatible with the EVerest charging operating system. A customized version of EVerest is available for download. Pionix bundles it with BaseCamp charging software that includes software maintenance and update service, offering support for numerous protocols for integration with infrastructure, vehicles and payment systems.
