What it is #
Support for open standards:
- OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol): Connects chargers to Powerly.
- OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface): Enables roaming between networks.
Why it matters #
- Works with multiple charger manufacturers.
- Future-proofs your investment.
- Expands compatibility with third-party services.
How to use it #
- Confirm charger supports OCPP 1.6+.
- In Network > Add Charger, enter charger ID & OCPP endpoint.
- For roaming, open OCPI Settings and enter partner details.
- Test connection before going live.
Tips & Best Practices #
- Always update charger firmware to latest version.
- Document partner agreements before enabling OCPI roaming.
Example Scenario #
A site with ABB and Wallbox chargers connects both to Powerly using OCPP. Later, they activate OCPI to let external drivers use the chargers via roaming partners.
