  • Dedicated Team

    Team model

  • eMotorWerks is a leading North American EV charging hardware and software provider based in San Carlos, CA. As a part of Enel X energy giant, eMotorWerks supplies EV charging solutions for utilities, automotive giants, and car owners.

    ABOUT CLIENT

    01

  • eMotorWerks needed a dedicated software development team to build a cloud-based analytics dashboard on top of their existing IoT platform, JuiceNet. Since the deployment deadlines were tight and the company wasn’t able to find qualified engineers locally, they needed to hire a remote team.

    BUSINESS CHALLENGE

    02

  • Binariks provided eMotorWerks with a dedicated team that remotely built a cloud-based analytics dashboard for greener, cheaper, and better-optimized EV charging. This solution enables users, such as automotive companies and car owners, to track fluctuating electricity prices and predict the best charging options. They can also see the cost of consumed electricity with detailed statistics in different formats.

    SOLUTION

    03

  • An existing client of Binariks recommended our software development services to eMotorWerks. The ability to quickly assemble the required remote team with relevant expertise and synchronize it with eMotorWerks’ on-site processes was the convincing reason to start the cooperation.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

MARKET RELEVANCE

The increasing number of electric vehicles, which is expected to grow by around 60 million items annually, creates a considerable infrastructure gap both for consumers and manufacturers. Since renewable energy sources are intermittent and irregular, EV charging companies may have difficulties with system stability and workload. Before the launch of the eMotorWerks’ platform, the EV market lacked a solution that would help to connect utilities with EV manufacturers and end-users. There was a growing demand for an IoT platform that could balance the grid, allow sharing it with many users, and bring EV charging to retail.

IMPLEMENTATION

Before eMotorWerks initiated the cooperation with Binariks back in 2018, the company already had the IoT platform, JuiceNet. This platform was supplied to Honda and BMW to help them manage the EV charging process and renewable energy resources. When eMotorWerks started expanding to the European market and had just signed a contract with Renault, they were asked to design a similar charging analytics solution for car owners.

At this point, eMotorWerks lacked internal resources to cover the increasing scope of the project and develop a cloud-based analytics dashboard within the requested deadline. Since they needed to launch the product shortly, the time-consuming hiring and onboarding process wasn’t an option. Thus, eMotorWerks chose to hire a dedicated team that could develop a cloud-based analytics solution on top of the IoT platform remotely. That’s when an eMotorWerks’ manager contacted Binariks to discuss the terms of cooperation.

What Binariks did

Binariks estimated the scope of the project and assembled the team of 10 specialists with the necessary expertise. 3 frontend developers, 4 backend developers, 1 project manager, 1 quality assurance specialist, and 1 business analyst continued working on the cloud-based analytics dashboard until its launch.

For this project, our specialists were integrated with the eMotorWerks on-site team and followed Scrum methodology with two-weeks sprints. We organized daily stand-ups and regular demo sessions to keep the client updated on the progress.

Binariks helped to build a cloud-based analytics solution connected to the eMotorWerks platform. The scope included all the necessary functionality and allowed users to:

  • Track the EV charging process
  • Analyze energy market prices in real-time
  • View predicted increase in price over a specific time
  • Check detailed statistics on consumed electricity and its cost
  • Generate statistics in different formats, including charts, tables, etc.
  • Access a detailed map of charging stations to find the closest charging spot
  • Get an optimized charging schedule powered with a custom machine learning algorithm

After the client approved the developed scope and finalized the requirements, Binariks continued working on the product to fine-tune it and release it for a larger audience. The final version of the analytics dashboard was successfully released and received positive feedback from eMotorWerks and end-users.
