SEMS (Smart EV Monitoring Sytem)




Now that UCF is serving the electric vehicle population, what is the next step?





The S.E.M.S. is an outdoor electric vehicle charger that is used for University of Central Florida (UCF) students and faculty. With an increase in the electric vehicle population, the need for accessible chargers have increased as well; this is why UCF has available electric chargers placed in numerous parking garages throughout the campus. These chargers perform the basic task of making sure the vehicle is efficiently charged. The S.E.M.S. charger seeks to not only perform this task but incorporate modern capabilities for students to track their power consumption and limit the use of the chargers to only UCF students/faculty using a phone application.
