EV charging essentials
OCPP
OCPP is the open protocol that lets an EV charger talk to any charging management system, regardless of who made the hardware. It is the difference between equipment you control and equipment that locks you in. Our guide explains how the protocol works, what separates OCPP 1.6 from 2.0.1, and what to check before you buy or deploy an OCPP charger.
OCPP explained
EV charging management software
EV charging management software gives operators one place to monitor chargers, manage users, control tariffs, diagnose faults and track every session. Usually called a CSMS or CPMS, it connects chargers with billing, roaming, energy and support systems. This guide explains how the platforms work, what OCPP does and what buyers should check before choosing one.

Bidirectional charging
Understand how bidirectional EV charging turns parked vehicle batteries into flexible energy resources for homes, buildings and the grid. This guide explains V2G, V2H and V2B, the roles of ISO 15118-20 and OCPP 2.1, what AFIR changes from 2027, and how charging hardware, vehicles, software and grid rules must work together.

Smart charging
Plug in now, charge when it makes sense. Smart charging adjusts the timing and power around your departure time, electricity price, solar output and the capacity available at your home or site.
What is smart charging?
Charging speeds
Most home and workplace charging happens at 7kW, 11kW or 22kW, and the right choice depends on more than the biggest number. Your car’s onboard charger, your electrical installation and the number of phases available all set the real limit. Our guide compares the three power levels and shows which charging speed your setup actually supports.
