Open Standards in eMobility
Standardization of chargers and the introduction of new protocols for interoperability are the next big steps supported by the authorities, EV foundations, and industry. eMobility market players face challenges when it comes to enabling smart charging, implementing a contactless experience, and providing a secure and accessible charging infrastructure. To render an open network, beneficial for all the market players, an introduction to open standards will be crucial.
At Solidstudio we know that time is everything. This is why we gathered what we know, shared the best insights and practices to develop ready-to-integrate components. These tested modules facilitate the standard implementation and update:

About the most commonly used standards in the industry
OCPP - Open Charge Point Protocol
An application protocol for communication between charging stations and a central management system. It is available for free, international, open-source, vendor-independent standard.
OICP - Open InterCharge Protocol
Developed by Hubject, is an implemented communication standard between eMSP and CPO systems via the Hubject platform.
OCPI - Open Charge Point Interface
Designed for information exchange about charge points between CPOs and eMSPs to facilitate scalable and automated EV roaming.
ISO15118
An international standard for bi-directional digital communications between electric vehicles and the charging station.
Components created through experience - what we have learned and how we can nourish eMobility development?
Creating a valid data model from the beginning
Late changes to the data model are time-consuming. MVP or initial versions of the software cover every basis needed. When the system does not require a sophisticated model of the charging infrastructure it may be enough to shape the whole charge point as a flat structure. Upon this simple model, more features can be built, till your range grows, and a need to open the platform using some open standard comes up.
This action requires developing mapping between the internal model and the one introduced by the standard. If the existing model does not support concepts (e.g. Location and EVSE) and does not follow general standards, when it comes to the format of IDs, it may require plenty of work to perform such mapping.
Observation:
While working for one of our partners, mapping their existing codebase to make it available for open standards, took several months for a team of developers. In fact, if the model would match the standard from the beginning, the integration would require just a simple action, and full integration would be possible within a few weeks.
Lesson learned:
The time for full integration can be significantly reduced (from a few months to a few weeks) thanks to the implementation of ready-made code linking the standard and the platform.
Creating an efficient architecture of the system from the start
Some aspects of system architecture are specific to the domain.
For example:
- deciding which processes are synchronous and which are asynchronous
- the decision whether or not some data must be immutable
Observation:
General concepts, but taking into account these limitations from the very beginning helps to avoid making wrong decisions when designing and developing the e-mobility platform.
Knowing the details of adopted standards to customer needs
OCPI is defined as an open standard. In theory, everyone ought to introduce this standard in the same way.
Observation:
OCPI is not always the norm. Hub Gireve, for example, extends this standard. Some components exist and are not part of the OCPI documentation. Some OCPI partners require a certain sequence of specific actions that are actually not part of the standard. It is worth knowing this upfront when designing the CPO/eMSP end system.
Bringing the domain knowledge
Having the domain knowledge within the development team allows participating in specific direct business conversations about e-mobility. We are familiar with general concepts, e-mobility background (CPO, eMSP/EMP, EVSE, eMI3 ID, OCPI, OICP, OCPP), different market approaches (public/private/fleet charge points), so we can immediately proceed directly with the specific business issues that are to be solved, rather than technical details (we already know them).
Observation:
We have learned that getting to know a specific area takes time, but once explored, it allows us to catch common parts. The observations turned into concrete solutions are an improvement for the future.
