The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is an open-source communication standard for EV charging stations and software companies. Choose any EV charging station that is OCPP compliant and it can be configured to run any similarly OCPP-compliant software.
Established in 2009 by the Open Charge Alliance, OCPP is designed to be a free, open-source, and easy to implement protocol that ensures all participants are speaking the same language. As a result, it has become the global benchmark for interoperability throughout the EV charging industry.
Software Benefits
With OCPP-compliant charging management software, you get access to features that non-OCPP software cannot provide.
Hardware Benefits
When you select an OCPP-compliant hardware provider, you are open to certain freedoms that are unavailable to non-OCPP stations.
