Solution

OCPP platform and OCPP software for operators

An OCPP platform is the software that speaks Open Charge Point Protocol to your chargers. GridOS is OCPP software built as a production gateway—supporting OCPP 1.6, 2.0.1, and 2.1 with multi-backend routing and migration-safe control.

Best for

Operators that need a serious OCPP gateway/control plane—not a thin library—and want to avoid binding every charger permanently to one CPMS vendor.

Audience

CPO engineering leads, EV charging platform product owners, and procurement teams evaluating OCPP software.

How to use this page

  • Read this as an architecture page, not only a feature page.
  • The key question is how to stabilize charger connectivity while backend, roaming, or reporting systems change underneath.
  • Use the outcomes and pain points to decide whether this is a migration problem, a roaming problem, or a longer-term control-layer problem.

Why this solution exists

Teams searching for “OCPP platform” or “OCPP software” need more than a protocol checkbox. They need stable connectivity across mixed fleets, clear message handling, and a path to evolve backends without re-pointing every charger. This page frames how to buy OCPP infrastructure correctly.

  • OCPP “support” is claimed, but production fleets still hit vendor-specific quirks and flaky reconnects.
  • Moving from OCPP 1.6 to 2.0.1/2.1 forces a full platform project instead of a controlled rollout.
  • OCPP software is inseparable from a single CPMS, so multi-backend or migration paths are blocked.
  • Ops teams drown in raw logs without agent-assisted handling of anomalies and exceptions.
  • Evaluation scorecards only check message lists, not operational controls and data ownership.

What the team gets

  • One OCPP platform entry point for mixed OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 / 2.1 fleets.
  • Gateway-first architecture so OCPP software is not the same thing as your billing stack.
  • Parallel routing to monitoring, payment, or legacy systems during transition.
  • Clearer pilot → production path using scorecards and non-critical site pilots.
  • ChargerPilot AI assistance for OCPP operations at scale.
