Automotive Embedded Charging Engine & ISO 15118 Protocol Stack
ChargingEngine provides an ASIL-ready embedded software runtime that executes complex ISO 15118 charging sessions with millisecond determinism. With hardware-accelerated mutual TLS cryptographic handshakes, dynamic contract certificate routing, and formally proven fault recovery transitions, it prevents charging station lockups.

Eliminating Interoperability Nightmares at Public High-Power Chargers
A shocking 20% of public EV charging attempts fail due to protocol timeouts, certificate validation mismatches, and undefined state machine lockups. ChargingEngine re-architects the in-vehicle charging stack with strict memory safety and rigorous error-recovery semantics to guarantee 99.99% first-time plug-in success.
