Kitu and Fractal's joint testing validates end-to-end EV charging management using industry standards for intelligent charging solutions
San Diego, CA | June 9, 2025 - Kitu Systems, a leading provider of clean energy solutions for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and Distributed Energy Resource (DER) management, is proud to announce the successful completion of integration testing between its Expedition CMS and EV charger provider, FractalEV. The integration confirms that Fractal's chargers are now fully interoperable with Kitu's charge management system, a flexible software designed for both site owners and vehicle drivers, providing user-friendly, web-based and mobile applications for flexible and intelligent EV charging management.
The integration included rigorous testing of key functionality, including secure onboarding, remote configuration, telemetry reporting, charging session management, and over-the-air updates, all critical capabilities for charge point operators, fleet managers, and utilities seeking to deploy and scale charging networks with confidence. FractalEV's leading L2 chargers and advanced backend software, combined with Kitu's platform, strengthens the OEM-to-customer connection through a more unified, intelligent charging experience.
Kitu's Expedition CMS is built on industry standards such as OCPP, IEEE 2030.5, and ISO 15118, and is uniquely positioned to support advanced use cases like demand response, dynamic pricing, vehicle-grid integration, and complex energy use cases.
"By combining Expedition's software flexibility with FractalEV's reliable hardware, we're empowering operators and end users with a complete solution. This integrated offering will enable charge point operators to get their sites live and running without delay," shares Tom Barbour, Kitu's Chief Commercial Officer.
Kitu Systems and FractalEV are currently in the deployment phase of an EV charging project with a leading energy company in the San Diego area, delivering integrated smart charging infrastructure for commercial application. This real-world deployment reflects the shared commitment of both companies to advancing clean transportation and serves as a model for future projects. With additional opportunities already under discussion, the partnership between Kitu and Fractal is poised to expand into new markets and use cases across the evolving EV ecosystem.
