EVBox, a prominent electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, has integrated the latest Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP 2.0.1) into their new AC charging stations, EVBox Livo and EVBox Liviqo. The integration seamlessly connects these stations with AMPECO’s Charge Point Management Platform. This collaboration signifies the union of two industry leaders, both of whom have shown consistent dedication to improving EV charging standards on a global scale.
Why It Matters
OCPP 2.0.1 plays a pivotal role in advancing the EV charging industry. Its compatibility with modern charging infrastructures ensures that charge point operators (CPOs) and EV drivers benefit from enhanced features, tighter security, and more efficient operational processes. The efficient adoption of this protocol between partners like EVBox and AMPECO represents a significant leap toward making EV charging smarter, safer, and more user-friendly.
Key Points
- OCPP 2.0.1 Benefits:
- CPOs can exert more control, customizing tariffs, implementing unique payment methods, and offering real-time cost and rate information.
- Superior end-to-end security and improved monitoring for extensive charging networks.
- Streamlined operations, reduced downtime, and cost savings through enhanced remote maintenance.
- Compatibility with emerging industry technologies, such as ISO 15118, ensuring secure communication, advanced smart charging, and facilitating Plug & Charge for easier driver authentication.
- Joint Commitment: Both EVBox and AMPECO have ardently embraced OCPP 2.0.1, acknowledging its myriad benefits for CPOs and its central role in promoting innovation and compatibility.
Bottom Line
The integration of OCPP 2.0.1 into EVBox’s latest charging stations, combined with AMPECO’s robust management platform, marks a significant step forward for the EV charging industry. As key members of the Open Charge Alliance, these entities are not only capitalizing on the advantages of the new protocol but are also setting a precedent for other industry players to follow. EVBox and AMPECO’s dedication to enhancing and standardizing EV charging solutions underscores their joint commitment to the future of electric mobility.
