Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) calculates and reports charging session data by capturing real-time energy consumption, start and end times, and vehicle identifiers from connected chargers. It uses standardized protocols like OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 to ensure accurate data collection, then processes this information into detailed billing records that reconcile with multi-tenant networks.
How session data is processed and reconciled
The system aggregates energy usage in kilowatt-hours and timestamps from each charging event. It cross-references these metrics with tenant-specific account details and billing cycles. This allows operators to generate accurate invoices per tenant, even when multiple units share the same charging infrastructure.
For example, in a multi-tenant apartment complex, each resident’s session data is tagged with their account ID. The CMS ensures that only the energy consumed by their vehicle is billed to their specific unit, maintaining clear financial separation.
This reconciliation process also supports dynamic pricing models, where usage-based rates are applied automatically based on time-of-day or demand. Operators can adjust tariffs in real-time, and the system reflects those changes in billing reports.
What this means for facility managers
Facility managers benefit from automated reporting that reduces manual reconciliation efforts. The CMS provides dashboards showing energy consumption trends, peak usage times, and tenant billing summaries. These insights help optimize charging infrastructure and identify opportunities for load management or tariff adjustments.
For instance, if a building sees high usage during evening hours, the manager can use this data to negotiate better rates with utility providers or implement time-of-use pricing for tenants. The system also flags any discrepancies in session data, helping prevent billing errors before they occur.
This level of visibility supports both operational efficiency and tenant satisfaction, especially in shared environments where transparency in billing is critical.
