Partnership to advance electric mobility

These chargers will now seamlessly integrate with the AMPECO Charge Point Management Platform via OCPP 2.0.1. The partnership spans globally across all countries supported by both partners’ product lines.

As members of the Open Charge Alliance (OCA), the organisation responsible for developing OCPP, EVBox and AMPECO share a commitment to driving innovation, adoption and compliance with industry protocols and standards in EV charging.

The importance and benefits of OCPP 2.0.1

OCPP 2.0.1-compliant EV chargers and EV charging management software will be able to offer substantial benefits to charge point operators (CPOs) and EV drivers.

CPOs get enhanced control over their charging infrastructure. They will, for example, be able to conveniently configure tariffs from the charging management software, implement unique payment solutions, or show customised messages with real-time cost and rate information to drivers. 

OCPP 2.0.1 also provides greater end-to-end security and improved station monitoring for large charging networks. It streamlines operations, reduces downtime, and cuts operating costs through improved remote maintenance capabilities.

The latest protocol will enable many upcoming industry technologies, such as ISO 15118. It ensures secure communication and advanced smart charging functionalities, as well as enables Plug and Charge for easier driver authorisation.

A joint commitment to the future of EV charging

With the EV market’s continuous growth, EVBox and AMPECO have fully embraced OCPP 2.0.1, recognising its numerous benefits for charge point operators and its pivotal role in fostering innovation and ensuring compatibility.

"At AMPECO, we are passionate about building the software platform that powers the EV charging of tomorrow and enables large-scale operators to run a global business with unmatched flexibility. As we move forward, it's evident that OCPP 2.0.1 is the future of our industry, and we're thrilled to shape it alongside our partner EVBox. By seamlessly integrating our software with their cutting-edge charging stations using OCPP 2.0.1, we're making EV charging smarter, safer, and more accessible than ever,” said Stefan Ivanov, Chief Revenue Officer at AMPECO.

“EVBox has been making strides in the EV industry for over a decade now, and redefining the OCPP protocol is no exception. As a founding member of the Open Charge Alliance, we not only want to have the most secure and technologically innovative protocol integrated into our EV charging stations, but also invite other backends to jump on board with the OCPP 2.0.1 protocol to offer a flexible network to all EV drivers. We strongly believe that the new protocol is the better way forward for our industry and we aspire to motivate other manufacturers and software providers to integrate this standard. We are so happy that AMPECO is joining us for this monumental transition in the EV charging industry by complying with the future-proof OCPP 2.0.1,” said Natasa Jovanovic, Senior Director of Software Solutions at EVBox.
