AMPECO and Autel Enhance EV Charging

AMPECO and Autel Europe’s OCPP 2.0.1 integration enhances EV charging with secure, scalable solutions, featuring advanced load balancing and remote management for CPOs across Europe.

AMPECO and Autel Europe have successfully integrated OCPP 2.0.1, combining AMPECO’s advanced EV charging management platform with Autel’s MaxiCharger DH480. This collaboration empowers Charge Point Operators (CPOs) with cutting-edge tools to build scalable, secure, and efficient EV charging networks across Europe, addressing the growing demand for reliable electric vehicle infrastructure.

Key Highlights

  • OCPP 2.0.1 Integration: Enables advanced security, load balancing, and remote management for CPOs.
  • MaxiCharger DH480: A 480 kW DC charger designed for high-demand environments.
  • Enhanced Security: Features Level 2 TLS encryption and certificate-based authentication.
  • Future-Ready Features: Supports Plug&Charge and smart charging profiles for grid responsiveness.
  • Scalability: Modular design simplifies deployment and maintenance for evolving networks.

Advanced Capabilities for CPOs

The integration of OCPP 2.0.1 brings significant operational benefits to CPOs. This advanced protocol offers robust cybersecurity through Level 2 TLS encryption and certificate-based authentication, ensuring compliance with Europe’s stringent regulatory standards. It also enables sophisticated load balancing and dynamic charging profiles, allowing operators to optimize energy distribution across multiple charging points. This is critical for managing peak demand, reducing costs, and maximizing station efficiency.

With remote management capabilities, CPOs can monitor and troubleshoot charging sessions in real-time, minimizing on-site maintenance and improving network uptime. The integration also supports Plug&Charge functionality, positioning CPOs for future technologies and new revenue streams while protecting infrastructure investments.

MaxiCharger DH480: Built for High Demand

Autel’s MaxiCharger DH480 is a 480 kW all-in-one DC charging solution tailored for high-traffic locations like highway corridors, commercial depots, and public charging hubs. Its modular architecture ensures flexibility in deployment, easy scalability, and simplified maintenance. Capable of supporting up to four simultaneous charging outputs, the charger optimizes energy distribution and reduces wait times during peak hours. Its design also facilitates straightforward installation and upgrades, making it ideal for evolving infrastructure needs.

Rigorous Testing for Reliability

The integration underwent comprehensive testing to validate critical functionalities, including secure communication protocols, remote session management, and smart charging profile compatibility. The MaxiCharger DH480 passed AMPECO’s OCPP 2.0.1 tests, demonstrating full compliance with technical requirements for secure, efficient, and grid-responsive charging operations.
