DC corridors where throughput is the whole business
On a highway, a broken charger is not an inconvenience — it is a driver who cannot complete their journey, and who tells everyone. Corridor charging is a reliability business first and a pricing business second. Throughput per bay per day is the number that decides whether the site pays back.
Highway & fuel retail
Does this sound familiar
Where you probably are right now
- 01You operate fuel stations, highway plazas or dedicated DC corridor sites.
- 02Sessions are short, high-power and unforgiving of failure.
- 03Your existing forecourt has a POS, a shop and staff who are not EV specialists.
- 04Weekend and festival traffic produces peaks several times the weekday average.
What gets in the way
The problems, and what answers each one
Every answer links to the feature that does the work, so you can check the claim rather than take it.
A dead charger on a corridor is a stranded driver
Continuous availability monitoring with decoded faults, remote reset escalation and diagnostics pulled before the technician leaves — so most incidents close without a site visit.
Bays occupied after charging is complete
Idle fees after a grace period, with the terms shown to the driver before the session starts, keep bays turning over during peak hours.
Drivers arriving to find the charger busy
Live availability published to your app and to roaming partners, so a driver sees the state of the site before they exit the highway.
Forecourt staff should not need protocol training
Scoped operator access lets site staff start, stop and reset the chargers at their own location only, with everything they do recorded.
What changes
What you can do that you could not before
- Higher throughput per bay during peak windows
- Faults triaged remotely before dispatching a technician
- Corridor visibility inside the apps drivers already use
- Peak-hour queueing managed by price rather than by patience
Commercial shape
Usage-based with volume tiers
DC corridor sites move large energy volumes with thin per-unit margins; a tiered per-kWh platform fee tracks that economics better than a flat licence.

Questions
What people in your position ask
Can we accept payment at a card terminal on the charger?
Payment terminals are supported where the hardware exposes them; the QR flow remains the default because it works on every unit regardless of vendor.
Do you support ISO 15118 plug-and-charge?
Not today. The platform speaks OCPP 2.0.1, which is the prerequisite; plug-and-charge support is on the roadmap.
Can forecourt staff be given access without a full operator login?
Yes. Station groups scope a login to one site with operate-but-not-manage permissions, so staff can start, stop and reset the chargers in front of them and nothing else.
