Solution

OCPP gateway for mixed EV charger fleets

EV Cloud is an OCPP gateway for OCPP 1.6, 2.0.1, and 2.1. One WebSocket entry point normalizes charger traffic, routes to one or more CPMS backends, and keeps migrations off the field hardware.

Best for

Operators who need a production OCPP gateway with version coverage, observability, and multi-backend routing—not a thin protocol library.

Audience

CPO engineering, platform, and operations teams evaluating OCPP gateway 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

An OCPP gateway sits between chargers and charge-point management systems. Operators search for it when they need mixed-fleet connectivity, multi-backend routing, or a safer path than re-pointing every charger during a CPMS change. EV Cloud is built for that production boundary—not only protocol demos.

  • Chargers speak different OCPP dialects; the CPMS absorbs every quirk.
  • Re-pointing charger URLs for a migration requires truck rolls and risk windows.
  • Single-backend architecture blocks parallel monitoring, billing, or pilot CPMS paths.
  • “Supports OCPP” on a datasheet does not mean production reconnect, security, and smart-charging depth.
  • Ops teams lack a clean place to inspect raw OCPP frames during incidents.

What the team gets

  • One OCPP gateway endpoint for mixed OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 / 2.1 fleets.
  • Normalize charger quirks before traffic hits business systems.
  • Route or fan-out sessions to multiple backends during migration or dual-run.
  • Keep field firmware stable while backends change behind the gateway.
  • Use ChargerPilot AI agents on top of gateway telemetry for OCPP operations.
