Integra ENERGY Announces Quick-Charge CPMS Achieves CTEP Certification in California

Written by command on . Posted in Blog.

May 14th, 2026: Integra ENERGY is proud to announce that Quick-Charge, our Charge Point Management System (CPMS), has officially achieved certification through the California Type Evaluation Program (CTEP).

This milestone authorizes Quick-Charge to support commercial EV charging transactions within the State of California and marks another major advancement in Integra Energy’s continued commitment to scalable, compliant, and future-ready EV infrastructure solutions. Integra is proud to have achieved CTEP certification in an accelerated timeframe, making Quick-Charge one of the fastest platforms in the industry to successfully navigate California’s rigorous regulatory approval process. This milestone reflects a commitment to innovation, operational readiness, and delivering compliant EV charging solutions capable of meeting the rapidly evolving demands of the marketplace.

As electric vehicle adoption continues accelerating across the country, regulatory compliance and energy measurement accuracy are becoming increasingly important within commercial charging environments. CTEP certification helps ensure that charging platforms meet strict standards for transparency, reliability, and consumer protection.

Administered through the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California Type Evaluation Program is responsible for evaluating commercial weighing and measuring technologies before they are deployed into regulated marketplaces. For EV charging infrastructure providers, CTEP certification serves as an important benchmark supporting transparent energy measurement, billing accuracy, operational integrity, and deployment readiness throughout California’s evolving electrification landscape.

With this approval, Charge Point Operators, hardware manufacturers, fleets, municipalities, and commercial property owners can confidently deploy Quick-Charge throughout California using a platform designed for long-term growth and operational reliability.

Quick-Charge was developed to help organizations simplify EV charging management while delivering a scalable user experience backed by enterprise-grade monitoring, operational visibility, and infrastructure flexibility. Combined with our turnkey deployment approach, the platform enables organizations to move forward with confidence as charging demand continues to expand nationwide.

“At Integra ENERGY, we remain focused on delivering intelligent, compliant infrastructure solutions that help organizations deploy smarter and more efficient charging networks,” the company stated. “Achieving CTEP certification represents an important step forward in expanding the capabilities and reach of the Quick-Charge platform.”

Integra ENERGY would like to thank its partners, clients, and industry collaborators for their continued trust and support as the company continues advancing EV charging solutions built for the future.

Static vs Dynamic Load Management: QuickCharge Does Both, Better

Written by command on . Posted in Case Studies.

Static Load Management (SLM): Simple, Controlled Sharing

In many locations, a predictable, pre-set configuration is enough. Static load management:

  • Shares a fixed amount of power evenly across all chargers
  • Prevents the total load from ever exceeding a set limit
  • Works well for small sites or locations with known, consistent demand

Example:
You have a 40A circuit and four Level 2 chargers. Instead of upgrading your electrical service, QuickCharge can cap and share that 40A across all four chargers. No breaker trips, no surprises—just controlled, reliable charging.

Dynamic Load Management (DLM): Real-Time Optimization

For busier or more complex sites, QuickCharge offers dynamic load management, which:

  • Monitors the entire site’s power usage (not just the chargers)
  • Considers other building loads—lighting, HVAC, equipment, etc.
  • Adjusts each charger’s power level in real time
  • Responds automatically to changing conditions and demand

If your building’s load spikes, QuickCharge will temporarily reduce charging power to stay within your limit—then ramp it back up as capacity frees up. You get maximum utilization of your system without risking overload.

More Chargers, Less Infrastructure: The Core Benefit

With QuickCharge, you can typically:

  • Install more charging points on the same electrical capacity
  • Avoid or defer expensive panel and service upgrades
  • Add chargers gradually as EV adoption grows, without redesigning your power system

For property owners, businesses, and developers, this means:

  • Lower upfront costs
  • Faster deployment
  • Future-proofed infrastructure that can grow with demand

Smart Power Allocation: Not Just “Sharing,” But Optimizing

QuickCharge supports multiple allocation strategies to match your needs:

  • Balanced distribution – Share power evenly across all vehicles plugged in
  • Priority-based charging – Give faster charging to:
    • Fleet vehicles that must be ready by a certain time
    • VIP users, employees, or paid subscribers
    • Vehicles with the lowest state of charge
  • First-come, first-served – Maximize speed for early arrivals, then share as more cars connect

You decide the rules. QuickCharge enforces them automatically and transparently.

Lower Bills, Happier Grid: Beyond Just “Keeping the Lights On”

QuickCharge doesn’t just protect your electrical system—it also improves your operating costs and grid impact:

  • Demand charge reduction (peak shaving)
    • Avoid short-term spikes that lead to high demand charges
    • Smooth out charging loads over time
  • Time-of-use optimization (where supported)
    • Align charging sessions with lower electricity prices
    • Encourage off-peak charging through smart scheduling and controls
  • Grid-friendly behavior
    • Reduce strain on local transformers and distribution networks
    • Prepare your site for future integration with solar, storage, and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) solutions

Who Is QuickCharge Right For?

QuickCharge by Integra Energy is ideal for:

  • Commercial properties & workplaces – Office buildings, business parks, mixed-use developments
  • Multi-unit residential buildings – Condos, apartments, townhome complexes
  • Fleets – Delivery vans, service vehicles, corporate fleets
  • Public parking & hospitality – Hotels, shopping centers, parking garages, municipal lots

If you need multiple chargers on limited electrical capacity—QuickCharge is specifically designed for you.

The Consumer Experience: Reliable, Predictable Charging

Behind the scenes, QuickCharge is doing complex load optimization. For drivers, the experience is simple:

  • Plug in
  • See clearly how charging is progressing
  • Get the charge they need without worrying about the building’s power limits

No tripped breakers. No dead chargers. No “sorry, the system can’t handle it today.”

Ready to Build a Future-Proof EV Charging Site?

QuickCharge by Integra Energy delivers:

  • Cutting-edge dynamic and static load management
  • More chargers without major electrical upgrades
  • Lower operating costs and better energy efficiency
  • A smooth, reliable charging experience for every driver

If you’re planning an EV charging installation or expanding an existing one, QuickCharge gives you the intelligent foundation you need to grow confidently.
