Traditional Smart Socket VS Hive Approach

Current Approach

Every socket needs its own internet connection

High per-bay cost with full smart sockets

The Hive Solution

Intelligence, metering & relay control move entirely into the central DB unit

One internet connection at the DB means bays need zero connectivity

User Experience

Charge over WhatsApp. Nothing for you to support.

No app for residents to install, no accounts for your team to manage. Drivers scan the QR at their bay, pay and monitor the session inside WhatsApp — with no support burden on your office.

Three Easy Steps
1

Open camera and scan QR

Scan the QR code printed on the charger node casing to open the WhatsApp chat screen.

2

Select slot & pack

Choose your bay number and select a charging package.

How It Works

Hive is the intelligent heart of your EV charging network.
It connects, controls and optimizes every charging point seamlessly.

User Arrives

User parks the vehicle and plugs the charger into the 16A socket.

Initiate Charging

User scans the QR at the bay — the chat opens with that bay already identified.

Make Payment

User makes the payment through UPI or preferred payment mode.

Payment Verification

Payment is verified securely on the backend server.

Command to Hive

The cloud commands the Hive to energize that bay's socket.

Power Enabled

Hive allows electricity to the socket and charging starts.

Dynamic Load Balancing

If multiple cars are charging, Hive intelligently distributes available current across all bays.

Safety & Compliance

Protected at every layer.

Electrical safety and tripped mains are the first questions every committee asks. Protection is engineered into the electrical design at every layer — not left to software alone.

At the Incomer

Every Hive is fed through a protected input junction box — earth-leakage, surge and isolation protection in one standard enclosure that any licensed electrical contractor can install.

At Every Bay

Each bay has its own dedicated MCB, and its socket stays de-energized until a paid session starts. An idle bay is a dead socket — nothing to tamper with, nothing to overload.

At the Building Level

Cloud load management keeps the combined charging draw inside your sanctioned load at all times — EV charging never becomes the reason the building trips.

The Commercial Model

How the money works.

  • Collections, your way. Drivers pay per session via UPI inside WhatsApp, or the society recovers usage through its own billing cycle — every unit is metered either way.
  • Every rupee is traceable. Per-bay metering ties each payment to measured energy, with statements your committee or accountant can audit.
  • Flexible commercial structures. Outright purchase or service-based models — sized to your property in the proposal that follows your site survey.
After Go-Live

Who runs it once it's installed.

  • We watch the hardware. Every unit reports its health and sessions to our cloud around the clock; faults are flagged before your residents notice them.
  • Drivers are supported in the chat. Session help is handled inside WhatsApp — not by your security desk or society office.
  • You keep full visibility. The Console shows sessions, energy and collections live — oversight without operational work.
