IQ4EV

IQ4EV (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg-based electric vehicle (EV) data analytics and consulting company focused on optimising the performance, reliability, and commercial viability of EV charging infrastructure. The company was founded to address a critical gap in the African EV ecosystem: the lack of accessible, actionable intelligence from charging station data.

At the core of IQ4EV’s offering is its proprietary platform, Pulse360. Pulse360 ingests and processes EV charger data (including OCPP messages such as MeterValues, StatusNotifications, and BootNotifications) to generate real-time and historical insights. These insights include charger uptime, utilisation rates, fault detection, energy consumption patterns, and risk profiling at an individual charger level.

IQ4EV serves a diverse client base including charge point operators (CPOs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), fleet operators, property developers, and municipalities. By translating complex technical data into clear, decision-ready insights, IQ4EV enables its clients to reduce downtime, optimise maintenance strategies, improve user experience, and maximise return on infrastructure investments.

What differentiates IQ4EV is its strong focus on the African market and its operational realities. Unlike many global platforms, IQ4EV’s solutions are designed with local challenges in mind, such as inconsistent power supply, infrastructure constraints, and varying levels of technical maturity across stakeholders. The company combines technology with strategic consulting, positioning itself not only as a software provider but as a long-term partner in EV ecosystem development.

In addition to analytics, IQ4EV offers advisory services that include infrastructure planning, performance benchmarking, data strategy, and industry insights. The company’s long-term vision is to become a central data authority within the EV sector—effectively the “statistics hub” of the industry—supporting smarter decision-making across both public and private sectors.

IQ4EV operates on a subscription-based model, complemented by consulting and potential data monetisation streams. Its mission is to empower the transition to electric mobility through intelligent data, enabling a more efficient, reliable, and scalable EV charging network across Africa and beyond.
