This software will allow the communication between World Wide Charging Protocol (WWCP) entities and entities implementing the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) which is defined and used by the EVRoaming Foundation. The focus of this protocol is a scalable, automated EV roaming setup between Charge Point Operators (EVSE Operators) and e-Mobility Service Providers. The focus of this protocol is a peer-to-peer operation, but since version 2.2 also roaming hubs are defined.
- Implementation Details and Differences to the official protocol specification. The OCPI specification has unfortunatelly many flaws and security issues. This implementation provides extentions and work-arounds for most of these issues to simplify the daily operations business, high availability or to support additional concepts/methods like European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Calibration Law (Eichrecht).
This OCPI implementation includes an optional feature to enable anonymous, unauthenticated access to the VERSIONS, LOCATIONS, and TARIFFS endpoints via a simple WebAPI. By activating this feature, you can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements such as the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and the UK's Public Charge Point Regulations 2023.
This capability facilitates the provision of open and transparent access to essential data about charging station availability, locations, and pricing, aligning with the mandates for publicly accessible information to promote interoperability and user convenience. Additionally, this feature simplifies integration with third-party platforms and services that rely on open access to charging infrastructure data, supporting a seamless user experience while adhering to legal standards.
