We don't rent our software. We wrote it.
Most charging stations pay a network company a cut of every charge, and see only the data that company shares. We built our own, so our sites keep more money and owners see everything live.
Runs the chargers and the whole site.
Chargers connect straight to Switchback. It starts and bills each charge, watches every charger and shares power across the site.
Industry-standard connection
Most newer chargers connect as they are (OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1).
Use your usual app
Drivers can pay with the charging account they already have.
Measured the government's way
Tracks how often each charger works, using the federal formula.
Federal reports, done for you
Built from real data and checked before filing.
One budget for the site
Shares power between chargers, computers, batteries and solar.
Trust, then verify
Separate meters confirm every machine stays within its limit.
Every decision is written down.
Each time Switchback moves power around, it records what it did and why. That one record becomes the safety file, the federal uptime report and the bills.
Solar credits based on real meter readings.
Our second app reads solar meters directly, counts the credits a system earns and checks them against the official registry. Owners see it all live, on the web or their iPhone.
- Reads common meters directly (EKM, eGauge, SMA)
- New readings every 15 minutes
- Counts credits automatically, carrying partial amounts forward
- Checks totals against the official Western registry (WREGIS)
- Owner website and iPhone app
Following the rules is a software job long before it's a paperwork job.
Our own invention
A U.S. patent application covers how Switchback shares one power line between EV chargers and computers. Partners can see details under NDA.
Have land, spare power or solar that could earn more?
Landowners, utilities, computer companies and investors: you'll talk with an owner of the company, usually within one business day.
