Accelerate your charging network interoperability with Codibly’s Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) Accelerator. From initial strategy to full-scale integration and post-deployment support, we help you streamline peer-to-peer and roaming hub connections, ensuring rapid adoption of OCPI 2.2.1 or 2.1.1 standards for future-ready eMobility services.
OCPI Accelerator Overview
Advancing EV Charging Ecosystems: Codibly’s Integrated OCPI Solutions
Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) streamlines roaming and peer-to-peer interoperability between eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) and Charge Point Operators (CPOs). Codibly’s OCPI Accelerator is designed to fast-track the adoption of OCPI 2.2.1 or 2.1.1, providing a pre-built, customizable microservice for quick deployment. Our end-to-end services—from introductory consulting to post-launch maintenance—ensure smooth integration and ongoing compliance.
eMSP and CPO Roles
Understanding the Two Sides of EV Charging Operations
OCPI fosters direct or hub-based communication between eMSPs and CPOs. Both parties share responsibilities to ensure seamless driver experiences—here’s how they differ:
Charge Point Operator (CPO)
• Sets up, manages, and operates a network of charging stations
• Controls pricing and adheres to regulations
• Integrates with smart energy solutions (DR)
eMobility Service Provider (eMSP)
• Helps EV drivers locate charging stations
• Offers authorization methods (mobile apps, RFID)
• Provides diverse payment options
EV Roaming Benefits
Why Roaming Matters for CPOs, eMSPs, and EV Drivers
Roaming allows drivers to charge on various networks via their existing eMSP—enhancing utilization, revenue, and convenience across the charging ecosystem.
CPO Advantages
• Higher station utilization
• Access to broader customer base
• Potential for new revenue streams
eMSP Advantages
• Offer broader charging network
• Enhance customer satisfaction
• Strengthen brand loyalty
EV Drivers
• Single provider, multiple networks
• Reduced hassle switching apps
• Seamless travel beyond home base
OCPI Key Information
