Charging solutions we develop
Electric vehicles are undoubtedly the future of global transport, and charging infrastructure is its foundation. However, without a modern digital ecosystem, even advanced technologies lose efficiency. That’s why intelligent charging software is not merely an add-on but a key component of EV infrastructure.
Bamboo Apps strives to develop reliable and flexible software solutions for electric vehicle charging and charging stations. We can build products of varying complexity that don’t only connect users to stations but also provide operators with control over the network, helping reduce costs and enhance the customer experience.
We aim to deliver adaptive, secure, and scalable solutions that evolve alongside your business, from local networks to national infrastructures.
We offer services for developing digital platforms that connect charging station operators with electric vehicle users. Booking systems, ratings, loyalty programmes, and usage analytics – a complete ecosystem to support business growth in one place.
Let us develop an intuitive, intelligent application for end users to schedule, monitor, and optimise EV charging sessions. We can create a solution that enables your customers to save money by using off-peak tariffs and to manage the charging process remotely.
We can develop apps for electric vehicle charging stations of various types – from basic monitoring solutions to comprehensive real-time management systems with diagnostic capabilities, analytics, and remote administration. Depending on the requirements, such applications can help operators track equipment status, energy consumption, and key operational parameters of the station from different devices at any time.
Our team has the necessary expertise to build reliable and secure payment solutions, from mobile applications and in-vehicle infotainment integrations to self-service kiosks. We carefully ensure compliance with security standards, including PCI-DSS, during development and implementation.
Optimise energy consumption across your charging station network with solutions based on intelligent load-balancing algorithms and demand forecasting. If you’ve been looking for a way to redistribute power with minimal interaction and reduce energy overpayments, we’re ready to help you achieve this.
We can develop station finder applications with advanced filtering options, including availability, distance, and charging speed. At the same time, our engineers aim to ensure seamless integration with navigation systems to make route planning quick and convenient.

Advanced features we can implement
Station's real-time monitoring
Monitor your infrastructure efficiently, 24/7. We can design and implement AI- and IoT-powered solutions that enable continuous monitoring of critical station parameters – including technical status, connectivity, energy consumption, load levels, and more. These systems offer comprehensive data visualisation and can alert administrators to anomalies, allowing for rapid response to faults.
Predictive maintenance
Prevent failures instead of fixing them. We aim to maximise AI’s capabilities to predict maintenance issues by configuring algorithms to analyse historical station performance data. The solution is able to identify patterns of potential faults and alert operators to failure risks in advance. This, in turn, enables proactive equipment maintenance and minimises station downtime, thus reducing the likelihood of unexpected costs.
AI-powered demand forecasting
Our engineers can effectively apply neural networks to forecast future station demand. We have experience in fine-tuning models to analyse external factors, from weather data and traffic levels to time of day and seasonal demand patterns. Up-to-date forecasts generated from this data enable charging network administrators to allocate resources where they are really needed.
Automated load balancing
The Bamboo Apps team can implement automatic power distribution between stations based on real-time demand. This contributes to the stable operation of the entire energy system, particularly in large charging hubs with dozens or even hundreds of stations running simultaneously. We understand how costly overloads and failures can be in such systems, so our goal is to help you keep them to a minimum.
AI chatbots
AI-powered chatbots have long helped operators simplify support processes. They automate user assistance by enabling station bookings, resolving technical issues, and providing charging status updates without waiting for human assistance. At Bamboo Apps, these solutions are part of our daily work. Let our experienced engineers help implement an AI assistant and reduce the burden on your support team.
AI-based station recommendation
Help your customers find a convenient way to a charging station with route optimisation features. The algorithm guides users along the most efficient path by considering road conditions, real-time station availability, and the final destination. This tool significantly saves time and minimises drivers’ anxiety about power reserve when properly configured.
Route planner
Thanks to modern AI-powered solutions, users can receive personalised recommendations for the most suitable charging stations. Developers train models to match data such as user behaviour, battery level, road conditions, connector type, and charging speed in order to suggest the best available option. Without a doubt, such a level of personalisation supports stronger customer loyalty and can positively influence app usage frequency.
Smart home & IoT integration
Expand EV charging control capabilities through integration with smart home ecosystems. Our team has the expertise to develop solutions that synchronise charging sessions with home energy systems to optimise consumption and reduce costs. This enables EV owners to manage charging via their existing smart home platforms – using voice assistants and setting up automation based on solar energy availability and off-peak tariffs.
