EV Charging Standards: OCPP, OCPI and ISO 15118

In the US, the federal NEVI program's minimum standards require funded chargers to support OCPP 2.0.1 and ISO 15118. (23 CFR Part 680) We build CSMS platforms and driver apps that are ready for both.

StandardWhat it connectsWhy it matters
OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 (Open Charge Point Protocol)Chargers ↔ charging management systemVendor-neutral charger control; 2.0.1 adds better security, smart charging and device management
OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface)Charge point operators ↔ eMobility service providersRoaming, so drivers can charge on other networks with one app
ISO 15118Vehicle ↔ chargerPlug & Charge (automatic authentication and billing) and smart/bidirectional charging
OSCP / OpenADRCharging network ↔ grid/energy systemsGrid-aware smart charging and demand response

Automotive Cybersecurity and Software Update Regulations

Our connected-vehicle software follows secure-by-design practices: mutual TLS, signed updates, least-privilege APIs, anomaly monitoring and data minimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build an EV charging app?
<p>An EV charging driver app built on an existing charging management system typically costs $30,000–$60,000. A full charging management system with OCPP and OCPI support typically costs $80,000–$150,000 or more.</p>
What is OCPP?
<p>OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open standard for communication between EV chargers and the central charging management system. It lets operators monitor, control and update chargers from different manufacturers.</p>
What is the difference between OCPP and OCPI?
<p>OCPP connects chargers to an operator's management system. OCPI connects charging networks to each other and to eMobility service providers, enabling roaming so drivers can charge on multiple networks with one app.</p>
What is ISO 15118 Plug & Charge?
<p>ISO 15118 is a standard for communication between an electric vehicle and a charger. Its Plug &amp; Charge feature lets the vehicle authenticate and pay automatically when plugged in, without an app or card.</p>
What features should a connected car app have?
<p>Common features include remote lock and unlock, climate control, charge or fuel status, vehicle location, health alerts, service booking, trip history and digital keys, all secured with strong authentication.</p>
What are UNECE R155 and R156?
<p>UNECE R155 requires vehicle manufacturers to operate a certified cybersecurity management system. R156 requires a software update management system for safe over-the-air and workshop updates. Both apply to new vehicles in the EU and other adopting markets.</p>
Can you build apps for Android Automotive and Apple CarPlay?
<p>Yes. We build Android Automotive OS apps and integrate with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for navigation, charging, media and messaging features, following each platform's driver-distraction guidelines.</p>
What does fleet management software include?
<p>Fleet management software typically includes live vehicle tracking, driver behaviour scoring, maintenance scheduling, fuel or energy monitoring, route optimization, document and licence tracking, and compliance logs such as electronic logging.</p>
Do you build ride-hailing and car rental platforms?
<p>Yes. We build ride-hailing, car rental, car subscription, car sharing and micro-mobility platforms with booking, dynamic pricing, vehicle access, payments and operator dashboards.</p>
How long does it take to build automotive or mobility software?
<p>EV driver apps and fleet tracking MVPs take about 8–14 weeks. Charging management systems, connected-car platforms and mobility marketplaces typically take 5–9 months, including interoperability testing.</p>
