Predictika · EV charging: CP6000 station orders with network plans checked against published ordering information

An AI sales agent's EV charging station order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a fleet depot: a number of CP6000 charging stations, their mounting, ports and charging current, and the network service plans that go with them. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the ordering information in ChargePoint's public CP6000 Fleet datasheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: CP6000 Fleet station orders (North America): single or dual port, pedestal or wall, charging current, Power Share, and network plan and Assure terms. See everything this validator covers

This validator models the ordering information in the public ChargePoint CP6000 Series Fleet datasheet, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Station models — single or dual port, pedestal or wall mount (four order codes, each with an 80 A rating and a 23 ft cable); one station type per order.
  • Charging current — the standard 80 A configuration or one of the Power Select settings, 40, 48, 56 or 64 A; Power Share, which lets a dual-port station share one circuit between its two ports, is available only on a dual-port station.
  • Network plans — the datasheet requires a network service plan per port; the order is checked for one plan for every port, for the plan term (1 to 5 years) and for the optional Assure term (1 to 5 years). The three plan families named in the datasheet are Power, Enterprise and Fleet Commercial.

Any CP6000 Fleet order that touches these choices is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the datasheet lists order codes only, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), breaker and electrical design, the commercial and international CP6000 variants, other ChargePoint stations, installation services, and what each plan or Assure includes.

The AI sales agentBuilds the charging station order from the depot's needs and says it is ready.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A plan for every port, not every stationOnly with care
The plan count depends on stations times ports, so a rule has to multiply two inputs and compare it with a third; a dual-port order quoted with one plan per station slips through if nobody writes that rule.
The ports are counted from the stations and compared with the plans on every call, and the count is shown in the findings.
An option that depends on the station typeOnly with care
Power Share exists only on a dual-port station, so a rule must tie one option to another choice; each such tie is a separate rule to write and keep.
The option and the port count arrive together and are checked together, whichever is entered first.
Current settings from a fixed listEasy
A fixed list of allowed values is straightforward in most rules-based CPQ tools.
The same list is checked on every call alongside the other rules.
Several problems in one orderOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, with block reasons first, whatever order the choices arrived in.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Click to expand

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

1A charging current of 100 A is not available; the standard configuration is 80 A and the Power Select settings are 40, 48, 56 and 64 A.
2A charging current of 32 A is not available; the standard configuration is 80 A and the Power Select settings are 40, 48, 56 and 64 A.
3Power Share lets a dual-port station share one circuit between its two ports; a single-port station cannot use it.
4Network plans are sold for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years; the quote has 6 years.
5Network plans are sold for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years; the quote has 0 years.
6Assure is sold for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years (0 means not quoted); the quote has 6 years.
7The quote has 4 network plans; every port needs one and the quoted stations have 8 ports.
8The quote has 7 network plans; every port needs one and the quoted stations have 8 ports.
9The quote has 9 network plans for 8 ports; the datasheet requires one per port, so a person should confirm the extra plans.
10The quote has 0 stations; it needs at least 1.
11The CP6000 is sold as a single-port or a dual-port station; the quote has 3 ports per station.
12The quote has 20 network plans; every port needs one and the quoted stations have 40 ports.

Scenarios and results

The recorded result of the validator for each scenario on this page: the request the AI agent sent, the verdict, and every finding, in the order they appear above.

1. Network plan per port: Dual-port wall stations for a depot with a plan for each station

The agent's request. Please quote 12 dual-port CP6000 Fleet charging stations, wall mounted, at 80 A, with the Enterprise network plan for 3 years (12 plans on the order) and Assure for 3 years. It is ready to send.

Verdict: Blocked.

  • Network plan needed for every port. The quote has 12 network plans; every port needs one and the quoted stations have 24 ports.

2. Network plan per port: The agent resubmits after fixing the errors

The agent's request. Please quote 12 dual-port CP6000 Fleet charging stations, wall mounted, at 80 A, with the Enterprise network plan for 3 years (24 plans on the order) and Assure for 3 years. It is ready to send.

Verdict: Allowed.

  • Order summary. Station order code CP6023X-80A-L7; 12 station(s), 24 port(s) needing a network plan.

3. Power Share and plan term: Single-port pedestal stations with Power Share and a six-year plan

Verdict: Needs approval.

  • More network plans than ports. The quote has 70 network plans for 60 ports; the datasheet requires one per port, so a person should confirm the extra plans.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for a fleet depot: a number of CP6000 charging stations, their mounting, ports and charging current, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the ordering information in ChargePoint's public CP6000 Fleet datasheet and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 6 single-port CP6000 Fleet charging stations, pedestal mounted, at 48 A using Power Share, with the Fleet Commercial network plan for 6 years (6 plans on the order). It is ready to send.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. Power Share lets a dual-port station share one circuit between its two ports; a single-port station cannot use it. Network plans are sold for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years; the quote has 6 years.
  6. The validator returned two blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for a plan for every port, not every station, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the Power Share to no and the plan term to 5 years.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
  13. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
