OCPP gateway and proxy for mixed EV charger fleets
OCPP gateway and proxy for 1.6, 2.0.1 and 2.1: one charger endpoint, multi-backend routing, and dual-run migration without touching field hardware.
Best for
Operators who need production OCPP connectivity, primary and observer backend routing, and migration without truck rolls, not a thin protocol library.
Audience
CPO engineering, platform, and architecture teams evaluating OCPP gateway, proxy, or platform software.
Why this solution exists
An OCPP gateway sits between chargers and charge-point management systems. Operators search for “OCPP gateway”, “OCPP proxy”, or “OCPP platform” when they need mixed-fleet connectivity, routing to more than one backend, or a safer path than re-pointing every charger during a CPMS change. EV Cloud is one application-layer layer for all three jobs, built for production rather than protocol demos.
- Chargers speak different OCPP dialects; the CPMS absorbs every quirk.
- Re-pointing charger URLs for each migration wave requires truck rolls and risk windows.
- One backend cannot cover monitoring, billing, roaming, and pilot CPMS paths at once.
- TCP-level WebSocket duplication breaks OCPP request/response pairing.
- “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 endpoint for mixed OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 / 2.1 fleets.
- Normalize charger quirks before traffic hits business systems.
- Primary and observer backend roles, so only one system drives the charger control loop.
- Wave-based migration: re-route charger groups at the gateway, not on hardware.
- Raw charger events stay under your control while sessions reach the systems that need them.
- ChargerPilot AI on top of gateway telemetry for protocol investigation.
