Pionix, AST-X and Solectrix announce partnership on EV charge controllers
Pionix, AST-X and Solectrix said they will work together on custom EV charge controllers based on Pionix’s reference design and ChargeBridge module. The companies say the approach is meant to shorten development for charger manufacturers building software-defined charging systems.
Pionix, AST-X and Solectrix have formed a partnership to develop custom EV charge controllers for charger manufacturers. The companies describe the product as a “custom-off-the-shelf” controller for software-defined charging.
The controller is based on Pionix’s reference design and its ChargeBridge module. It runs the open-source EVerest software stack.
According to the announcement, the goal is to offer a controller adapted from an existing design rather than one built from a blank sheet. No further technical details were provided in the source text.
