EV Charger IoT Solution - MovingComm

On May 1, 2026, the "Technical Specifications for Fire Safety of Electric Vehicle Charging and Swapping Stations" (T/CHIA 001-2026) officially came into effect. Meanwhile, the "Guidelines for Configuration and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Public Institutions" (JS/T 302-2026) had already been implemented on March 1. With multiple policies taking effect in tandem, the charging pile industry is ushering in a new wave of compliance upgrades. For charging pile operators, how to meet the new regulatory requirements while improving operational efficiency and reducing management costs has become a critical challenge determining survival and growth.

Leveraging deep expertise in the industrial IoT communication field, MovingComm Technology offers a full-link networking solution—from pile-side to cloud—integrating self-developed hardware capabilities and cloud platform technologies. The solution covers diverse scenarios, strengthens security protection, and enables intelligent O&M, helping charging pile operators achieve full compliance with the new regulations while unlocking new value in cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Industry Pain Points: Communication Dropouts, High O&M Costs, and Compliance Difficulties

Charging piles are widely distributed across basements, roadside locations, and industrial parks, where public network signals are often poor, leading to frequent device disconnections and distorted billing and monitoring data. Manual patrol inspection remains the only remedial measure, but with hundreds or thousands of devices deployed, the costs are high and response times are slow—faults are often discovered only after user complaints.

The 2026 new regulations mandate real-time monitoring as a hard requirement: gun temperature, voltage, and current must be continuously reported, with anomalies triggering second-level alarms. Grounding reliability and leakage protection sensitivity are also subject to strict review. For existing older sites, solving the "connectivity and visibility" issue before even considering "compliance" presents two significant hurdles.

MovingComm Technology leverages industrial-grade communication routers and cloud platforms to provide operators with a low-cost, rapid-deployment upgrade pathway.

MovingComm Smart Charging Pile Networking Solution

The MovingComm Smart Charging Pile Networking Solution is architected around "hardware core + software synergy + cloud management," covering the entire stack from sensing to network to platform. At its heart, the MovingComm industrial router serves as the "communication hub and data gateway" of the entire system, bridging pile-side devices and cloud platforms to enable data acquisition, secure transmission, and remote management across the full workflow.

System Architecture

Perception Layer: Connects AC/DC charging piles, metering modules, and electrical modules via RS232/RS485 industrial serial ports, collecting full-scale data in real time—including charging power, voltage/current, transaction records, and device operating status—laying the data foundation for subsequent management and control.

Network Layer: The ComIn I2105 / I2200 / I2100 industrial routers serve as the core communication nodes, seamlessly interfacing with pile-side devices through industrial-grade ports while establishing stable transmission links via 4G/5G cellular networks. The devices feature dual-link intelligent hot backup, automatic link reconnection, and VPN encryption capabilities, ensuring data remains "always online and secure."

Platform Layer: Integrated with the MovingComm Cloud Platform and charging operation management systems, the solution enables data aggregation, visual analytics, remote diagnostics, fault alarming, and batch firmware upgrades, with support for third-party supervisory platform integration—delivering "single-pane-of-glass, full-control" operations management.

Solution Advantages

Compliance Advantage – Full Implementation of New Regulations, No Gaps Left

The new regulations go far beyond surface-level measures like "installing a camera." They impose binding requirements on data continuity: gun temperature, charging voltage, and insulation status must form a complete timeline, with the delay from anomaly occurrence to reporting compressed to the second level. This means the communication link itself must possess an automated closed-loop capability of "sensing – transmission – alarming," rather than relying on manual patrols to backfill data.

The MovingComm industrial router collects full-scale data from pile-side sensors at second-level polling intervals via RS485/RS232 serial ports, transmitting it directly to supervisory platforms or third-party operation systems through VPN-encrypted tunnels. Upon detecting current surges, temperature excursions, or grounding anomalies, the device triggers GPIO relay protection locally while the cloud management platform pushes tiered alarms (SMS/email/API callbacks) within seconds, forming a dual evidence chain of "edge protection + cloud audit trail." The platform features standardized northbound interfaces for seamless integration with provincial new-energy vehicle supervisory platforms, transitioning sites from "compliant at acceptance" to "continuously compliant in operation."

Economic Advantage – Effective Improvement in Operational Revenue

The solution ensures 7×24 hour uninterrupted online operation of charging piles, with real-time data reporting significantly reducing pile downtime caused by communication issues. Operators can remotely complete configuration, upgrades, and fault diagnosis, drastically reducing on-site inspection frequency and improving per-person O&M efficiency by over 3×. Full-link data visualization supports fault prediction and data-driven analytics, shifting operational decision-making from "experience-based" to "data-driven," fundamentally alleviating the industry's "over 80% loss-making" dilemma.

Technical Advantage – Industrial-Grade Reliability Design

The ComIn I2105 features a dual watchdog design (hardware + software) with built-in self-diagnostic technology for automatic fault recovery. Ethernet ports incorporate 1.5KV electromagnetic isolation protection, SIM card interfaces include 15KV ESD protection, and power interfaces feature reverse polarity and overvoltage protection, with optional lightning protection for antenna interfaces—layered safeguards ensuring stable operation under harsh conditions such as thunderstorms, high temperatures, and power grid fluctuations.

Additionally, the I2105 supports OpenWRT / Linux SDK, allowing operators or system integrators to perform secondary development for custom billing protocols, edge computing logic, or local whitelisting to meet differentiated operational needs.

Typical Application Scenarios

Public Fast-Charging Stations

In urban public fast-charging stations, a single site typically deploys 4–8 units of 120kW DC chargers, generating massive data volumes during concurrent transactions. The ComIn I2200 industrial router connects multiple piles and payment management hosts in parallel via 5 Fast Ethernet ports (1×WAN/LAN + 4×LAN), with full-duplex bandwidth preventing data congestion. GPIO terminals monitor distribution cabinet door status in real time, coordinating cooling fans and alarms for integrated "communication + control." 4G full-netcom connectivity plus VPN-encrypted tunnels ensure payment data integrity in the cloud, while remote batch OTA enables multi-site O&M with just one engineer at the control center.

Community / Street-Side Slow Charging Piles

In residential communities and street-side scenarios dominated by 7kW AC slow chargers, piles are widely dispersed and extremely numerous, making per-site communication costs highly sensitive. The ComIn I2100 industrial router features a compact form factor with 4G LTE Cat.4 and dual Ethernet ports, fitting directly inside the pile enclosure. Standard SIM card slots support IoT SIM cards from all three major carriers with plug-and-play simplicity. The device supports link detection and automatic reconnection, autonomously recovering from public network signal fluctuations without manual intervention. No additional protocol converters or transformer modules are required for batch deployment, significantly reducing per-site integration costs—an ideal choice for large-scale replication.

Expressway Service Area Charging Networks

Charging piles at cross-city expressway service areas face compound challenges from sun exposure, lightning strikes, and power grid fluctuations, with traditional equipment requiring over a dozen O&M interventions annually.
