EV Charging
The Power of Insight Fuels Reliability
Charge Anxiety Is the New Range Anxiety
With electric vehicles (EVs) estimated to comprise 26% of global vehicle production by 2029,1 the coming years will require a massive increase in the number of EV charging stations — and fast. In fact, the U.S. is set to bring 500K public charging stations online by 2030 — with a 97% uptime requirement.2
Powerside gives you the tools to monitor and correct power quality problems — so your EV charging infrastructure can go the distance.

Common EV Charging Issues Can Stall Progress
Powerside is here to support the future of EV adoption — with cutting-edge solutions that help you uncover downtime warning signs, accelerate troubleshooting, correct critical issues and deliver dependable EV charging at scale.
Monitor and Evaluate Power Quality Issues Across the Charging Fleet
Identify Red Flags for Early Equipment Failure
Correct Grid Disruptions That Interrupt Charging
Mitigate Harmonics to Increase Efficiency and Equipment Lifespan
Capture Vital Data for Regulatory Reporting
Reduce Blind Spots and Accelerate EV-Centered Sustainability Goals
There’s a science behind getting that battery fully charged, and Powerside provides insight to help you deliver.
Power quality assurance at the grid edge is a critical component to future EV integration. EV charging has been found to produce supraharmonics (high frequency emissions in the 2kHz and 150kHz range). These emissions can disrupt the charging process — leaving the driver without sufficient battery supply — and cause disturbances to the grid overall. Powerside PQube® 3 power analyzers give charging network operators clear insight into system challenges, limitations and compliance. We arm you with actionable data and optimized solutions to maintain system-wide compliance and efficiency.
Rather than piecing together power quality data from individual units, our QubeScan software brings all your fleet data together in a comprehensive view accessible through your mobile device. It also lets you easily create reports and graphs to simplify compliance reporting on uptime metrics and more.
Relevant Solutions
PQube® 3 Power Analyzer
The Powerside PQube 3 is the only power analyzer capable of monitoring, measuring and recording supraharmonic disturbances on medium voltage lines. The technology gives your network operators real-time data on charging unit health, environmental and process parameter concerns, potential failure points and more. It also provides a larger view into power grid dynamics, leading you to a precise fault location faster. Data collected by the PQube 3 easily converts into visually rich, easy to read reports for both internal use and to satisfy compliance.
QubeScan Delivers a Comprehensive Full-Fleet View
Powerside’s QubeScan monitoring software unifies the powerful data analysis and support from all Powerside power analyzers across your EV charging network. Use QubeScan to gain comprehensive visibility to fleetwide data and incorporate it directly into your workflow. QubeScan also delivers PQube 3 firmware updates to all units to ensure they’re up to date.
PowerAct Low Voltage Active Harmonic Filter
Tune out harmonic distortions that damage EV charging infrastructure and the grid. PowerAct filters go the extra mile to deliver advanced harmonic mitigation along with voltage support, capacity relief and improved power factor. Plus, as an active filter, they operate at full correction capacity with no risk of overload — for safe and reliable performance in critical applications.
