EV load is decided outside the energy business.
Plug-in time, state of charge, departure requirements, charger limits and driver behaviour determine when energy actually moves.
Vampire.Energy is designed to give providers the charger context and software control needed to move demand while protecting the customer's mobility requirement.

Energy shift
Value is moving toward the moment energy is consumed.
Providers already control sourcing, tariffs, metering, billing and market access. EV charging creates a new contested layer: the decision of when energy moves into the vehicle.

The provider can become part of the driving experience, not only the bill.
02 / Demand

Charging has a required outcome, a deadline and often room to move between them.

Managed charging can shift demand into preferred windows while preserving mobility.
Control boundary
Define which charging decisions the energy business owns directly and which are delegated to a platform partner.
Demand visibility
Know how much energy is needed — and when.
Charging demand is more than a consumption curve. Each vehicle brings a required energy outcome, an available charging window and constraints set by the vehicle, charger, customer and site.
Historical behaviour and live availability provide useful context. They inform decisions; they do not imply perfect demand forecasting.
Charging requirement
Energy need with time and operating context
Required energy
What the journey or operation needs
Readiness time
When the vehicle must be ready
Vehicle and charger availability
When charging can physically occur
Site capacity
What the connection can support
Charging history
Observed behaviour over time
Individual
One customer's required outcome
Aggregate
Demand across a site or portfolio
Charging windows
Move charging without compromising mobility.
Most customers care about the outcome: the vehicle must be ready when they need it. Vampire.Energy is designed to orchestrate the charging window around that requirement and the energy conditions around it.

Completion priority governs optimisation.
Energy products
Make charging part of the energy product.
The same orchestration capability can support different customer propositions. Suppliers define the product, tariff and customer experience; the platform connects those rules to real charging behaviour.
These are examples the platform can enable, not fixed Vampire.Energy packages.
01 / Tariffs
EV tariff
Connect price windows and charging rules to the customer outcome.
02 / Managed
Managed charging plan
Coordinate charging inside an agreed customer window.
03 / Overnight
Overnight charging
Prioritise delivery during defined overnight periods.
04 / Renewable
Renewable-linked charging
Use renewable availability as one input to the charging plan.
05 / Business
Fleet and business proposition
Coordinate operational schedules with commercial energy terms.
06 / Bundle
Charger + energy + software
Bring infrastructure, tariff and customer workflow into one offer.
Residential & Business
One orchestration model. Different operating contexts.
Home charging and business charging share the same fundamentals: understand the energy need, respect the operating constraints and deliver the required mobility outcome.
Residential
One driver, one household context.
Home charger and vehicle capability
Desired departure and readiness
Customer tariff and product rules
Household constraints and solar where available
Business / Fleet
Many vehicles, one operating plan.
Multiple vehicles and charging points
Departure and operational schedules
Depot or site capacity constraints
Aggregate demand and commercial energy terms
Portfolio flexibility
Coordinate demand across a portfolio.
When charging load is controllable, providers can coordinate demand across customers or sites in response to energy and system conditions.
The objective is to move charging toward preferred windows while maintaining each customer's requirements. Portfolio coordination is a capability layer and a commercial option, not a promise of automatic market participation.

Charging context
The energy layer has to understand the charging layer.
An energy signal only becomes a reliable charging action when it is applied with live charger capability, vehicle demand and session progress. That context lets the platform move energy without losing the customer's required outcome.

The near-term value is visibility and controlled charging. Market-facing flexibility becomes credible only after the platform can protect each customer requirement and verify the response.
01 / See
Understand the EV population.
Know when vehicles connect, what energy they require and where the available windows sit.
02 / Control · relevant now
Move load inside the mobility envelope.
Apply price, capacity and system signals without compromising the requested ready-by outcome.
03 / Monetise
Aggregate verified flexibility.
Turn a controlled portfolio into balancing, congestion or future bidirectional value where markets permit.
Define the control boundary for EV demand.
Map the customer requirement, charger estate, energy signals and existing platforms. Then define the smallest deployment that can prove controllable demand.
