When amina C connected with Monta, it took less than 20 seconds for the systems to start talking seamlessly.

 

“There’s barely a story to tell, because it was so simple. And that’s exactly the point,” says Johan Olofsson, VP of Software at amina and one of the developers behind the integration.

 

The charger came online as soon as it was powered up, no laptop configuration needed. It was pre-provisioned for Monta right from the factory. The entire integration was tested remotely over Teams, and it just worked.

 

“It’s not often things work on the first try like this,” Johan adds. “But when both systems are built on open standards and clean code, magic happens.”

Openness by design

amina chargers are designed to be open, flexible, and easy to integrate, not just as a feature, but as a core principle.

 

“We’ve built our entire platform around openness,” says Øystein Tveterås, Product Manager at amina Charging. “From day one, we’ve followed the OCPP standard to the letter. That gives us, and our partners, predictability and control.”

 

By sticking closely to the standard and designing both hardware and software with interoperability in mind, amina delivers a charger that works right out of the box. No surprises during installation, no weird behaviors in operation, and no headaches during updates.

 

“For CPOs, this means a more stable, trustworthy product,” Øystein explains. “Installers spend less time troubleshooting, and end users get a smoother, more reliable experience.”

It’s great to see a newly developed charge point like amina C perform so well on the first test.

Secure by design

Security isn’t an afterthought at amina. It’s baked into every layer of our hardware and software. As cybersecurity becomes a growing concern in EV infrastructure, we’ve made it a priority from day one.

 

“We’ve been thinking about future security standards, not just the ones that exist today,” says Øystein Tveterås. “We know regulations will get stricter as the world becomes more exposed, so we’ve built that into the architecture – both hardware and software.”

 

That means following current best practices, but also preparing for the revisions and requirements we know are coming. The amina platform is continuously reviewed against emerging standards for cybersecurity, so we’re ready when new regulations arrive.

 

A strong match

Monta is one of the leading platforms for OCPP-based charge point management, with bold ambitions for the future. At amina, we share their commitment to reliability, user experience, and security. That’s why this integration mattered so much to us, and why it went so smoothly.

 

Now, amina chargers can be managed directly via the Monta platform. No complex setup. No waiting. Just a quick connection, and you’re up and running.

 

“We’ve tested hundreds of charge point models at Monta, and it’s great to see a newly developed charge point like amina C perform so well on the first test, fully supporting all advanced features that the hardware is capable of from day one,” says Rasmus Knudsen, Electrical Engineer at Monta.

 

“For installers, the inclusion of preconfigured OCPP URLs and networking settings significantly streamlines on-site setup, reducing hassle for both them and their customers.”

 

Johan at amina is pleased to see everything working as intended – right out of the box. “We built amina to be open from day one,” he says. “This confirms we got it right.”
