What Is an OCPP Charger?
An OCPP charger is a smart EV charger that can connect to a cloud platform and app.
This lets you monitor and manage charging from your phone or computer.
Charger ↔ Cloud ↔ App
What Can You Do With It?
With an OCPP charger, you can:
-
See if the charger is online

-
View energy used
-
Start or stop charging remotely
-

Why Is OCPP Useful?
A regular charger mainly provides power to the vehicle.
An OCPP charger can also communicate with a smart charging platform.
This makes it easier to:
Monitor. Manage. Control.
For Homeowners
OCPP makes home charging easier to manage.
You can check:
-
Is my EV charging?
-
How much power is it using?
-
How much energy was used?
-
Is the charger working normally?
You can also use smart charging features together with power balancing.
For Property Hosts
For rental homes, apartments, Airbnb properties, or other shared locations, OCPP can help you manage chargers remotely.
You can:
-
Check charger status
-
Monitor charging sessions
-
See energy usage
-
Manage multiple chargers
-
Reduce the need to check the charger in person
OCPP + Power Balancing
OCPP and power balancing work together, but they do different jobs.
OCPP
Connects the charger to the cloud and app.
Power Balancing
Adjusts charging power based on how much electricity is available.
For example:
Home using more power → EV charging reduces
Home using less power → EV charging increases
This helps your charger work better with your electrical system.
One Charger or Multiple Chargers
OCPP can support smart management for:
1 Charger · 2 Chargers · 3 Chargers
With multiple chargers, the system can help monitor and manage charging from one platform.
Does OCPP Make Charging Faster?
Not directly.
Your charging speed still depends on:
Your EV + Your Charger + Available Power
OCPP helps make charging smarter and easier to manage.
Simple Smart Charging
OCPP helps connect your EV charger, cloud platform, and app.
That means more control, better monitoring, and easier management.
Charge Smarter. Charge More.
