Executive Summary
Discover how OCPP works and how to leverage it to optimize your electric fleet.
OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open protocol for communication between charging stations and back-office systems to manage electric vehicle charging. OCPP's standardized process increases the efficiency and ease of connecting charging points and charging software, and the technology offers greater opportunity for smart charging operations. In this webinar, we will hear from EV expert Joachim Lohse (CEO & Founder, Ampcontrol) on what OCPP is, and how you can use it for your smart charging operations to monitor EV chargers, enable smart charging software, connect driver apps, and more.
Executive Summary
What is OCPP?
OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open protocol for communication between charging stations and back-office systems to manage electric vehicle charging. It is used in electric car charging networks to provide operators and drivers with a standardised interface for monitoring, controlling, and billing for charging sessions.
How Does OCPP Work?
Most OCPP systems exchange informations through a WebSocket between charge point and backend. Websockets is a very common bidirectional, real-time communication between a client and a server also used by chat systems, websites, etc.
How to securely exchange charger data and require the correct security?
Only use secure WebSocket to connect chargers (URL starts with "wss" instead of "ws"), ensure your CMS provider and chargers use the highest TLS version, a URL should use a custom secret (password) per location, and ask your CMS provider for additional security options
