ChargeBridge

Safety-critical charging logic for your EV controller

ChargeBridge handles the low-level charging logic on a microcontroller (MCU), while EVerest on Linux enables smart charging and advanced features. Together, they create a safe and future-proof architecture: deterministic low-level logic on the MCU, innovation and smart features on Linux.

 

Reliable charging logic

Safety-critical core functions run on the MCU; deterministic, fail-safe, and compliant with industry standards.

 

Faster development

Preloaded firmware and reference designs simplify controller development and reduce integration effort.

 

Lower certification risk

Pre-certified modules (CCS today; MCS, CHAdeMO, ChaoJi, GB/T in preparation) help accelerate audits and shorten time-to-market.

 

Flexible integration

Combine ChargeBridge with EVerest on Linux or your own SoM to realize specialized and software-defined charging solutions.

Pionix ChargeBridge Modules

ChargeBridge is a pre-certified module that reduces certification risk and accelerates development. By managing the safety-critical charging logic independently on the MCU, it frees your Linux-based controller to focus on smart charging features with EVerest. This combination gives manufacturers a reliable foundation for building compliant, future-proof EV charging solutions.

Safety by design

All critical charging logic runs independently on the MCU, ensuring deterministic, fail-safe behavior in line with industry safety requirements.

 

Pre-certified modules

Each ChargeBridge module is certified for specific charging standards. CCS is available today; additional modules (MCS, CHAdeMO, ChaoJi, GB/T) are in preparation and not yet available.

 

Preloaded firmware

Modules come with pre-integrated firmware for handshake, PWM, and safety monitoring. This reduces integration complexity and accelerates development.

 

Reference designs

We provide open carrier-board reference designs and schematics to help you integrate ChargeBridge quickly into your own controller architecture.

 

Modular integration

ChargeBridge can be combined with EVerest and custom Linux SoMs, enabling flexible, software-defined charger designs for different market needs.
