OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol)

“The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is the global open-source communication standard that allows EV charging hardware to “talk” to management software (CSMS). It ensures interoperability, meaning you can use hardware from one manufacturer with software from another, preventing vendor lock-in.

In the UK, compliance with OCPP 1.6J or the advanced OCPP 2.0.1 is essential for smart charging. These protocols enable remote diagnostics, secure billing, and intelligent load management, ensuring that your charging infrastructure remains future-proof and compatible with all major network operators.”
