As Italy rapidly accelerates its transition to electric mobility, driven by government incentives and growing environmental awareness, the demand for robust and future-proof EV charging infrastructure is reaching new heights. For charge point operators (CPOs), real estate developers, and energy service providers, aligning with the latest standards, particularly OCPP 2.0.1, is essential to staying competitive and scalable.
What is OCPP 2.0.1?
The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 2.0.1, developed by the Open Charge Alliance (OCA), is the latest evolution in open communication standards for EV charging. It enables seamless interoperability between EV chargers and central management systems (CSMS), unlocking advanced capabilities like:
- Dynamic load balancing
- Enhanced cybersecurity
- Remote diagnostics
- ISO 15118-based Plug & Charge
By adopting OCPP 2.0.1, businesses can future-proof their infrastructure, reduce vendor lock-in, and open doors to innovation.
