eMabler Q1 2026 Product Update: What's New and What's Coming
Read Time: 5 minutes
Author: Shashank Mishra, Product Manager at eMabler
Managing an EV charging network has never been a small job. Between monitoring charger health, controlling who has access to what, reporting on energy use, and keeping on top of everything happening across multiple sites, the operational load adds up fast.
This quarter, a lot of our work has been pointed at exactly that: reducing the manual effort it takes to run a network well and giving EV charging operators the tools to stay ahead of problems rather than just respond to them.
Here's what we shipped in Q1 2026, and where we're heading in Q2.
eMabler Q1 2026 Release: New Features and Platform Updates
Data Insights is live
In January 2026 we launched Data Insights, a new analytics section of the platform that gives EV charging operators a complete view of their network's performance in one place. You can track success rates, utilisation, energy consumption, and session data from network level all the way down to individual chargers, with live socket timelines so you always know what's happening right now.
For energy companies and utilities, we've also added a dedicated power consumption analytics view built directly into Data Insights. If you manage grid relationships or report on energy use, your network's consumption data is now tracked, visualised, and ready to use without manual extraction.

BESS Support
We've added support for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) within our Dynamic Load Management engine. For operators with on-site battery storage, this means your BESS can now be factored into how load is managed and distributed across your sites, opening up smarter energy use and better grid interaction.

Virtual Charger Groups
Access control on charging networks has traditionally been tied to physical site structure, which rarely matches how access actually works in practice. With eMabler’s Virtual Charger Groups, you can now organise chargers into logical groups based on parking zones, ownership, or tenant arrangements, independent of your electrical topology. Assign drivers to a group, and access follows, without touching your site configuration or DLM setup.

OCPI Direct Payment with Payter
EV driver will be able to pay directly at the charger via Payter, without needing an RFID card or app account. For EV charging operators focused on reducing friction at the point of charge, this update removes one of the most common barriers to a completed session.
End User App View
If you offer charging to drivers through your own app, you'll be able to embed our EV charging web view directly into it. This upcoming update brings live session visibility, tariff display, and the ability for drivers to save favourite chargers, a complete driver experience without building it from scratch.

Logging and Monitoring
You now have a fuller picture of what's happening across your platform. Audit logging covers system-wide activity for traceability, while improved operational logs for OCPI and key connectors, including Utility Cloud, make it faster to spot issues, debug problems, and monitor performance without digging through separate systems.

eMabler Q2 2026 Roadmap: AI-Powered Charging Operations and Bulk Management
The big theme for Q2 is moving from reactive to proactive. The tools we're building are designed to reduce the number of things that need a human decision, and to make the decisions that do require people faster and better informed.
eMabler's Pulse: self-healing chargers and AI-based fault prediction
This is the update I'm most excited about. eMabler's Pulse already monitors your chargers and sends alerts when something goes wrong. What we're adding in Q2 closes the full loop.
We're integrating OEM-specific error code intelligence directly into Pulse. When a charger faults, Pulse will cross-reference the error against manufacturer documentation and tell you what it actually means and what the recommended fix is. On top of that, you'll be able to configure automatic reboots for chargers capable of self-recovery. Pulse detects the fault, interprets it, and in many cases resolves it, before a driver notices anything or your team has to act.
That's the corrective maintenance piece. But we're also laying the foundation for AI-based fault prediction. As Pulse accumulates data across your network, it will start identifying patterns that precede failures. A charger running consistently warm, a socket with an unusual error frequency; these become signals rather than surprises.
The direction is predictive maintenance: catching problems before they affect your customers.
Configuration Templates
Setting up chargers one by one is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. Configuration templates will let you define a standard setup once and apply it across multiple chargers. For operators managing large or growing networks, this is one of those changes that quietly saves a significant amount of time.
All in all, the direction we're building toward is a network that manages more of itself, where operators spend less time reacting and more time growing. If you'd like to see how eMabler can support your operations, we'd be happy to walk you through it. Get in touch for a personal demo or start your 1-month free trial of the eMabler platform!
