Automotive & Mobility Software Development for EVs, Fleets and Connected Vehicles
Automotive and mobility software development is building the apps and platforms behind modern vehicles and transport services: EV charging networks, connected-car and companion apps, fleet telematics, dealer and service management, ride-hailing, rentals and subscriptions, and in-vehicle apps. PerfectionGeeks builds custom automotive and mobility software for OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, charge point operators, fleet operators, dealers and mobility startups, built on the standards the industry runs on.
Automotive & Mobility Software We Build
EV Charging Management Systems (CSMS)
Charger management, remote start/stop, tariffs, smart charging and load balancing, firmware updates and uptime monitoring, using OCPP.
EV Driver Apps
Find chargers, check real-time availability, start charging, pay, view sessions and receipts, with roaming via OCPI.
Connected Car & Companion Apps
Remote lock/unlock, climate, charge status, vehicle health, location, service booking and digital keys.
Fleet Management & Telematics
Live tracking, driver behaviour, fuel/energy usage, maintenance scheduling, route optimization and compliance logs. Related: Machine learning development
Dealer & Service Management
Lead management, vehicle inventory, test-drive booking, service scheduling, workshop job cards and customer apps.
Mobility Services
Ride-hailing, car rental, car subscription, car sharing and micro-mobility (e-scooter/e-bike) platforms.
In-Vehicle Apps
Android Automotive OS apps, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations for navigation, media, charging and messaging.
Automotive Data & AI
Predictive maintenance, battery health analytics, usage-based insurance data, and voice assistants. Related: AI agent development
EV Charging Standards: OCPP, OCPI and ISO 15118
In the US, the federal NEVI program's minimum standards require funded chargers to support OCPP 2.0.1 and ISO 15118. (23 CFR Part 680) We build CSMS platforms and driver apps that are ready for both.
| Standard | What it connects | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 (Open Charge Point Protocol) | Chargers ↔ charging management system | Vendor-neutral charger control; 2.0.1 adds better security, smart charging and device management |
| OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) | Charge point operators ↔ eMobility service providers | Roaming, so drivers can charge on other networks with one app |
| ISO 15118 | Vehicle ↔ charger | Plug & Charge (automatic authentication and billing) and smart/bidirectional charging |
| OSCP / OpenADR | Charging network ↔ grid/energy systems | Grid-aware smart charging and demand response |
Automotive Cybersecurity and Software Update Regulations
Our connected-vehicle software follows secure-by-design practices: mutual TLS, signed updates, least-privilege APIs, anomaly monitoring and data minimization.
| Regulation / standard | What it requires |
|---|---|
| UNECE R155 | A certified Cyber Security Management System for vehicle manufacturers; mandatory for new vehicles in the EU and other adopting markets from July 2024 |
| UNECE R156 | A Software Update Management System for safe over-the-air (OTA) and workshop updates |
| ISO/SAE 21434 | Cybersecurity engineering across the vehicle lifecycle |
| GDPR / DPDP Act | Consent and controls for vehicle location and driver data |
| PCI-DSS | Secure charging and rental payments |
Fleet Software Compliance
ELD mandate (US FMCSA):
electronic logging of hours of service for covered commercial drivers.
Tachograph rules (EU):
driver working-time records.
Vehicle inspection and maintenance records
, plus driver licence and document expiry tracking.
Emissions and energy reporting
for EV and mixed fleets.

| EV charging driver app (on an existing CSMS) | $30,000–$60,000 | 8–14 weeks |
| Fleet tracking & telematics MVP | $30,000–$70,000 | 8–14 weeks |
| Dealer / service management app | $40,000–$80,000 | 10–16 weeks |
| Charging management system (OCPP + OCPI) | $80,000–$150,000+ | 5–9 months |
| Connected car / companion app | $80,000–$150,000+ | 5–9 months |
| Ride-hailing, rental or subscription platform | $80,000–$150,000+ | 5–9 months |
