OCPP: connect charge points to your backend

Assess the technical connection between one charge point model and a backend. Transfer status, meter values and charging sessions in a traceable way.

For: Charging infrastructure operators and providers of charging or fleet software

THE IMPLEMENTATION GOAL

A result you can verify.

A test charging session remains unambiguously identified after a connection interruption; missing meter data is visible.

YOUR STARTING POINT

Three packages. A clear scope.

Choose the step you need. An existing assessment can provide the basis for implementation.

01

Assessment & roadmap

€699.00 one-off

One charge point model, one documented firmware version and one backend; analysis of up to five sanitised protocol examples.

  • Technical review based on the documentation you provide
  • Written findings with prioritised next steps and clearly identified open questions
  • One online follow-up session to discuss the results

Fixed price for the stated assessment scope, including 19% VAT. Implementation and third-party fees are separate. An enquiry does not place an order.

02

Implementation & handover

Individual project quote

A jointly scoped pilot with agreed systems, examples and acceptance criteria.

  • Compare the OCPP version and supported functions on both sides
  • Connect status, meter values and transaction references in a test environment
  • Test disconnection, reconnection and delayed events

Scope, project price, schedule and required provider services are agreed before commissioning. Handover includes the agreed technical documentation and introduction.

03

Support & development

Individual monthly quote

Monitor the agreed backend connection and message backlogs; review firmware and protocol changes.

  • Technical takeover of the agreed existing solution
  • Agreed monitoring, troubleshooting and change maintenance
  • Documented handover of open issues and completed changes

Monthly price, allowance, service hours, term and cancellation are agreed separately. Infrastructure, licences and on-call support are included only when explicitly offered.

What we need to get started

  • Manufacturer, firmware, OCPP version and backend
  • Required functions and a usable simulator or authorised test charge point

A description is enough for your first enquiry. We will then agree suitable ways to exchange files and arrange access.

What the scope covers

Technical software integration. Electrical installation, assessment under metrology law, billing and OCA certification are excluded. Production control commands and load management are implemented only within a separately agreed scope.

We check the package against your project. Your enquiry is non-binding; commissioning and scheduling are agreed afterwards.

UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC

OCPP connected, data missing: test the complete charging session.

OCPP connects charge points to a management system. The Open Charge Alliance describes different versions and testing options. Saying a device is OCPP capable does not establish which functions its specific firmware supports.
