Open Charge Point Protocol is the common communication protocol used by EV charging hardware and software providers the world over.

Developed by the non-profit organization, the Open Charge Alliance, which counts every major hardware and software manufacturer as a member.

OCPP is the de-facto industry standard making interoperability possible. eDRV is a member of the Open Charge Alliance and supports all major versions of OCPP.
