EV Charging · Software
Proven, standards based software for charge points, which you can license and embed in your own product. The protocol layer is the hard part of a smart charger and the part that takes longest to build, so most of what is here exists to remove that work rather than to add features.
Everything is centred on an OCPP library client, which is a deliberate architectural choice: it means your charger works with any supporting back office rather than tying you to ours. We do not sell one.
The software range
Standards-based, interoperable and subscription-free when you build on the charging modules. Pick the pieces that fill the gaps in your stack.
OCPP 1.6 & 2.0.1
Standards-based OCPP smart charge point protocol software, ready to license and embed - turns a charger into a smart charging station.
ISO 15118 · Plug & Charge · V2G
Plug & Charge and Vehicle-to-Grid communications stack for automatic, secure authentication and bi-directional charging.
EVerest · Linux · BSP
We harden the open-source EVerest stack for your hardware - BSP, ISO 15118, OCPP 2.0.1 - taking it from repo to production.
Load Management · DLM
Charger-to-charger load management software stack - static and dynamic balancing with no additional hardware, for chargers built on Versinetic electronics.
CSMS · OCPP
Local controller software that sits between the OCPP client and the back office, relaying messages without needing a constant connection and injecting local control where you need it.
iOS & Android
A customisable installer app that finds and commissions chargers over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Ethernet - branded as yours.
Licensing
License the protocol software and IP into your own product - subscription-free when you buy the modules.
Inside the smart controller
EV chargers are built around increasingly complex software, and with constantly changing international standards, maintaining robust, well-tested software is challenging. Versinetic platforms are built around a set of software blocks centralised on an OCPP client to maximise your choice of back-office solutions - these are the blocks inside the MantaRay smart controller.
OCPP & software overview
Our OCPP software library is a client that runs on Linux and/or QNX, based on OCPP 1.6 and 2.0. It ships with an interface for setup and installation, can be remotely controlled from a web interface, and has been tested against multiple back offices and at Open Charge Alliance Plugfests.
It communicates with all electric vehicle charging stations - AC mains chargers and DC rapid chargers alike - so it connects with fast, ultra and smart chargers: all possible charging points.
Explore the OCPP library
Local controller application
Our local controller software sits between an OCPP client and the back office, relaying messages without needing a constant CSMS connection. It can inject OCPP messages for local control - useful for load balancing with Building Energy Management Systems and fleet management - and drops into an existing CSMS with very little effort.
Adapt to your needs
Our charging modules of electronics design, software and consultancy mean you can build a totally custom solution. Use our OCPP software product as-is, or license the software for a unique, bespoke solution.
Our OCPP client can connect with any device with a CSMS, giving you the freedom to use any back office or smart charger you choose - and it talks to fast-charging DC chargers and AC mains chargers alike.
Bridge other technologies such as MQTT, JSON, Modbus or Azure Device Shadows, add a custom local controller between the charger and your back office, or a bespoke Bluetooth app. Assembly-level configuration covers phase, lock types, RDC-DD, metering, ground and voltage protections and temperature derating.
Every charger ships with a locally hosted web app for full configuration - from assembler through installer to end user - brandable to your company image, with charger diagnostics, transaction history, direct updates and network settings.
Your project is in safe hands: our engineers have built systems for the EV industry for a decade - from designing charging units for the London 2012 Olympics to the more recent MantaRay, LinkRay and OCPP products.
FAQs
OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 today, with 2.1 in development.
No, and we do not sell one. The OCPP library is a client, so it connects to whichever charge station management system you already run.
Yes. The local controller relays messages without a constant connection, and BalanSea and LinkRay both work offline. That matters on sites where connectivity is unreliable, and on public chargers where a dropped connection must not stop a session.
It can be. Build under licence covers licensing the protocol software into your own product. Buying our charge controller boards includes it.
EVerest is open source, and getting it into production on real hardware is the work. We do the board support package, the ISO 15118 and OCPP integration, and the hardening that takes it from repository to shipping product.
Bridging other technologies - MQTT, JSON, Modbus or a bespoke Bluetooth app - is bespoke work rather than a product. Ask and we will scope it. See build under licence and how we work.
