Company profile
researched Aug 2026ChargeLab builds back-end software for managing electric vehicle chargers, describing its platform as an operating system for EV chargers. Its charging station management system (CSMS) connects and manages OCPP-compatible chargers, monitors performance in real time and exposes open APIs so customers can run large charger portfolios from one hub. The company states its mission is to solve smart EV charging at scale and that its software is hardware-agnostic; it does not manufacture chargers of its own.
Stated platform capabilities include integration with 200-plus OCPP charger models (company blog posts cite over 100 models from dozens of manufacturers, among them ABB, Autel, BTC POWER, Eaton, EVBox, Lite-On, Wallbox and Zerova), dynamic power management to allow more chargers on a limited electrical service without service upgrades, an in-house North American call center providing 24/7 support to customers and EV drivers, and Spark AI, described as proactive AI that identifies and addresses charger faults. Offerings are segmented for network operators and large fleets (enterprise and white-label software), site hosts (software plus turnkey installation partners), resellers and installers, and hardware brands seeking OCPP verification.
ChargeLab has also developed a practice of absorbing chargers stranded when other providers shut down their networks, offering turnkey migration services that combine replacement software, 24/7 driver support and on-site reconfiguration, with field work supported through a partnership with ChargerHelp.
Business model
ChargeLab sells back-end charger management software rather than charging hardware, licensing its CSMS to charging network operators, fleets, resellers/installers and building owners, including enterprise and white-label deployments. It complements the software with 24/7 in-house driver and customer support, OCPP hardware verification for charger manufacturers, and turnkey migration services for site hosts moving off discontinued networks.
Traction
The company states its platform manages over 15,000 EV chargers with 99.9% uptime and powers millions of charging sessions annually, with more than 200 charger models integrated. As of September 2025 it had completed the migration of over 3,000 chargers following network shutdowns by Enel X Way and Shell Recharge.
Latest developments
On September 24, 2025, ChargeLab announced turnkey migration support for EvoCharge software customers after Phillips & Temro said it was closing the EvoCharge business and shutting down its charging software within 30 days; the offer includes replacement software, 24/7 EV driver support and on-site migration help, with field services in partnership with ChargerHelp. This followed an October 2, 2024 offer to take over compatible commercial Enel X Way chargers in the US and Canada ahead of that provider's October 11, 2024 shutdown.

Market position
ChargeLab describes itself as a leading provider of back-end EV charging management software for commercial charging networks and as the platform behind North American EV charger manufacturers, turnkey installers and network operators. Its role as a migration destination for customers of exiting providers such as Enel X Way, Shell Recharge and EvoCharge has been covered by trade press.
ChargeLab emphasizes a software-first, hardware-agnostic approach: broad OCPP hardware compatibility validated through its own integration testing, dynamic power management to avoid electrical service upgrades, Spark AI for proactive fault resolution, and an in-house North American 24/7 support center.
Technology
The platform is built around OCPP, the open protocol for connecting and managing EV chargers, allowing it to manage chargers from many manufacturers after in-house integration testing in ChargeLab's test lab. Features include real-time performance monitoring, dynamic power management to add chargers on constrained electrical service, open APIs, and Spark AI for proactive detection and remediation of charger faults.
Go-to-market
ChargeLab sells directly to network operators and large fleets, partners with resellers and installers who deploy chargers, works with turnkey installation partners to serve site hosts, and runs a verification program for hardware brands. It also uses public announcements and dedicated migration offers to win customers whose incumbent charging software provider is shutting down.
EV charging network operators, fleets, resellers and installers of EV chargers, EV charger manufacturers seeking OCPP verification, and site hosts including building and property owners, multi-family and workplace properties, destination and public charging sites, convenience stores, government customers and utilities.
Geography
Focused on North America, serving customers in the United States and Canada, with headquarters in Toronto where its OCPP integration test lab is located and a North American in-house call center.

launches, deals, and filingsFollowing Phillips & Temro's announcement that it was closing the EvoCharge business and shutting down its commercial and residential EV charging software within 30 days, ChargeLab announced a turnkey migration service for EvoCharge software customers, including replacement software, 24/7 EV driver support and on-site migration support.
ChargeLab partners with ChargerHelp, which provides field support for performing charger network migrations as well as ongoing operations and maintenance plans for EV chargers.
After Enel X Way announced it would close its US and Canadian EV charging business effective October 11, 2024, ChargeLab offered to take over compatible commercial chargers in the US and Canada and invited affected site hosts to discuss migration before Enel X Way servers were disabled. ChargeLab had begun integration testing with Enel X Way chargers ahead of the announcement and concluded that migrating residential JuiceBox chargers was not worthwhile.
