Moroccan startup launches platform to manage electric charging stations

Moroccan startup WATTSC has launched watt.ma, a platform designed to manage and monetise electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Morocco. The platform targets operators, site owners, businesses and fleets, offering a single interface to monitor equipment, manage charging sessions, organise billing and track performance and revenue. watt.ma supports the open OCPP 1.6J protocol, enabling compatibility with multiple brands of charging terminals, and includes a live monitoring map and a QR-code-based payment flow built around local payment solutions.

“The challenge of electric mobility is not just about installing charging stations. It also requires being able to monitor them, keep them available, facilitate payment and allow site owners to make their investment profitable. watt.ma was designed to provide this operational layer to the Moroccan market,” said Prince Marfo, spokesperson for watt.ma.

Platform capabilities and technical approach

watt.ma consolidates supervision of charging stations, session tracking, tariff management, transactions and revenue reporting into one dashboard. By adopting the OCPP 1.6J protocol, the platform avoids locking customers into a proprietary hardware ecosystem and can interoperate with different compatible terminals. That design choice is intended to lower deployment friction for operators who may already have diverse hardware on site or who plan to procure chargers from multiple vendors.

• Real-time supervision: a live monitoring map to view station status and availability.
• Session management: tools to start, stop and audit charging sessions and usage data.
• Tariff and billing: tariff management features and consolidated transaction histories for revenue tracking.
• Payments: QR-code payment processes adapted to local payment solutions to simplify on-site customer payments.

WATTSC is positioning watt.ma as an operational layer that complements physical charging infrastructure. The platform is pitched at a range of users, from site owners who need to make installations financially viable to fleet managers seeking centralised oversight of dispersed chargers. By including revenue reports and transaction tracking in the same interface as hardware supervision, WATTSC aims to give stakeholders clearer insight into utilisation and profitability.

Context and market fit

Morocco has been expanding its interest in electric mobility and related infrastructure, creating demand for software tools that address operational and commercial challenges beyond charger installation. watt.ma’s emphasis on local payment integration and QR-code transactions reflects a recognition that payment behaviours and available systems can differ from those in markets where card or app-based payments dominate.

Compatibility with OCPP 1.6J also addresses a common pain point for operators: hardware fragmentation. Operators can deploy watt.ma without replacing existing chargers so long as they are OCPP-compatible, which can reduce capital expenditure and speed up rollouts. For businesses and fleets, centralised session tracking and tariff control can simplify internal charge allocation and cost recovery.

Outlook

WATTSC’s launch of watt.ma introduces a management and monetisation tool focused on the operational realities of Morocco’s EV ecosystem. If the platform gains traction with operators and site owners, it could become a backbone for commercial EV charging services in the country by combining device interoperability, localised payment workflows and integrated revenue reporting. The next test for watt.ma will be adoption at scale — whether parking operators, retail sites, workplaces and fleets choose the platform to manage mixed-hardware deployments and to monetise their charging assets effectively.
