Sample app: cloud-based EV charging control service

EV charging control as a cloud service on top of Leafy Energy

For organisations with many charge points, the demo can include a fictional EV charging control service that runs on top of Leafy Energy.

Features of the sample service

• Dynamically adjusting charger power based on Leafy prices.
• Scheduling charging sessions based on desired departure times and maximum price per kWh.
• Fleet manager dashboards showing costs and charging timelines.

Technical building blocks

• Backend in Node.js, Python or .NET using the Leafy Energy SDK.
• A message queue for event-driven scaling (for example per site).
• Webhooks for events such as “session.ev_started” and “pricing.threshold_crossed”.

This article outlines such a service so that architecture workshops can quickly evolve from idea to design.
