Open Charge Point Interface Protocol to Bring Personalized EV Charging Experience
Overview
As more people are switching to electric vehicles, the demand for uninterrupted communication between charge points and EV drivers is on the rise. Our client operates largest EV charging network soon realized the need for a management system (OCPI) that could exchange information about charge points between charge point operator and EV owners. Currently, owners of electric vehicles face challenges if they can’t find an operating charging station compatible with their cars. OrangeMantra collaborated with the client to develop an OCPI that improves their charging station services.
