Autel Energy, a renowned provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions and services, is pleased to announce the successful attainment of OCPP 2.0.1 Certification for its Charging Station Management System (CSMS) from the Open Charge Alliance (OCA). This milestone underscores Autel Energy’s dedication to advancing EV charging interoperability and security, solidifying its standing as a leader in the EV charging sector.
OCPP 2.0.1, the latest iteration of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) introduced by OCA in 2020, serves as the globally acknowledged standard for seamless communication between charging stations and management software. It empowers utilities, Charge Point Operators (CPO), and EV owners with advanced smart charging functionalities and enhanced control features. Notably, only 14 companies worldwide have attained this prestigious certification to date.
Autel Energy’s CSMS has successfully fulfilled the Core and Advanced Security profiles of OCPP 2.0.1, showcasing robust security measures and flawless interoperability. Moreover, Autel has completed the development of the remaining six profiles of OCPP 2.0.1, positioning itself for full certification upon the commencement of the certification process for these profiles by OCA.
The Autel EV Charging Software solution comprises the CSMS and the charge app, catering to over 100,000 customers spanning across 70 countries. It facilitates more than 600,000 charging sessions monthly, contributing significantly to the reduction of over 42 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.
By attaining OCPP 2.0.1 certification, Autel ensures heightened security through the integration of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol, supporting mandatory encryption and authentication mechanisms. The standardized communication protocols employed by the CSMS guarantee efficient and reliable data transmission, with all exchanges between the charging station and the cloud encrypted to thwart data leakage, tampering, and cyber-attacks. The two-way authentication mechanism between the charging station and the cloud system instills trust at both ends of the communication, preventing unauthorized access. With robust interoperability and system stability, the CSMS seamlessly integrates charging equipment from diverse manufacturers, ensuring broad compatibility, versatility, and unparalleled stability and reliability.
This achievement underscores Autel Energy’s CSMS as a frontrunner in technological innovation and industry protocols, bolstering customer confidence and market competitiveness while reaffirming our commitment to delivering top-notch, secure, and interoperable charging solutions.
