01Protocols & standards
What we implement, and what we have not built yet
Interoperability claims are the easiest thing to overstate on a marketing site and the fastest to be found out during procurement. Supported and roadmap are labelled separately here for exactly that reason.
OCPP
Open Charge Point Protocol 1.6J and 2.0.1
The link between every charger and the platform. Both versions run side by side behind one operational surface.
- Transport: WebSocket (wss) with subprotocol negotiation
- Core profile: Boot, Heartbeat, Status, Authorize, Transactions, MeterValues
- Remote control: RemoteStart/Stop, Reset, UnlockConnector, ChangeAvailability
OCPI
Open Charge Point Interface 2.2.1
The link between platforms. Publish your network to roaming partners, and let your drivers charge on theirs.
- Version: 2.2.1
- Roles: CPO, eMSP
- Modules: Credentials, Locations, Tariffs, Tokens, Sessions, CDRs, Commands
ISO 15118
Vehicle-to-charger communication and plug-and-charge
Certificate-based vehicle identification, enabling plug-and-charge. On the roadmap, with OCPP 2.0.1 as the prerequisite.
- Prerequisite: OCPP 2.0.1 — supported
- Certificate handling: Roadmap
- Bidirectional power (V2G): Roadmap
OpenADR
Automated demand response
Utility-initiated curtailment signals applied through the charging-profile mechanism. On the roadmap.
- Enforcement mechanism: OCPP charging profiles — supported
- Utility signal interface: Roadmap
- Available today: Time-of-day windows and static site ceilings
Why it matters
Standards are how you avoid being locked in
An operator's most valuable asset is a network that can change platform, change hardware vendor and connect to a roaming partner without rebuilding. Every one of those depends on a standard being implemented properly rather than approximately.
Change hardware freely
OCPP means a charger from a different vendor connects the same way. If your platform needs vendor-specific work per model, you are locked in twice over.
Change platform freely
Your chargers point at an endpoint. If a platform holds your data or your driver relationships hostage, standards compliance has not helped you.
Reach drivers you do not own
OCPI puts your chargers into apps whose users have never heard of you. On a corridor site, that is most of your addressable demand.
