### [Open charge point protocol](https://openchargealliance.org/protocols/open-charge-point-protocol/)



- The goal for Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is to offer a uniform solution

 for the method of communication between charge point and central system.

  With this protocol it is possible to connect any central system with any

   charge point, regardless of the vendor. A uniform standard prevents

    all kinds of coordination problems and  is therefore an advantage

     for the whole electric vehicle market.



### [Open Data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data)
