MerchUnderstanding the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP)
In the evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs), the ability for charging stations and networks to communicate seamlessly is critical. This is where the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) comes into play, serving as a universal language that connects chargers and charging networks, ensuring a smooth and flexible experience for EV users. At myenergi Ireland, we believe in leveraging the best technologies, and understanding OCPP is key to providing our customers with top-tier service and flexibility.
What are the key benefits of OCPP
1. Enhanced Security
OCPP ensures that the data transmitted between chargers and networks is encrypted and secure. This protects personal information and provides peace of mind for users, knowing their data is safe.
2. Future-Proofing
With non-OCPP-compliant chargers, there’s a risk that if the provider goes out of business, the electric car charger could become obsolete. OCPP mitigates this risk by allowing the EV charger to switch to another network, ensuring continued usability.
3. Flexibility and Choice
Being tied to a single network can limit options and force users to accept unfavourable changes in pricing or service. OCPP empowers EV charger owners with the flexibility to change networks, seeking better services and prices as needed.
4. Improved User Experience
Competition among charging station network providers, driven by the flexibility OCPP offers, leads to the creation of more user-friendly experiences. Providers are incentivised to innovate and improve their services to attract and retain customers.
The origin and evolution of OCPP
OCPP was created in 2009 by the Open Charge Alliance, a global consortium of public and private leaders in EV infrastructure. The goal was to establish a standard for compatibility across EV charging stations, facilitating broader EV adoption. Since its inception, OCPP has become the industry standard, allowing for seamless communication between chargepoints and networks. The protocol is open-source, meaning it’s free to access and implement, encouraging widespread use and continuous improvement. The most current version, OCPP 2.0, represents the latest advancements in this critical technology.
