Software Modules · Build Under Licence
You can license Versinetic's OCPP software library, our ISO 15118 stack and our charge point control firmware, and embed them in your own product. Your electronics, your enclosure, your brand and your roadmap stay yours. What you skip is the protocol layer, which is where the months go and where the interoperability problems hide.
The software is already in production. It has been tested against multiple back offices and at industry Plugfests, and it runs on chargers shipping in four markets.
Build under licence
A smart charge point is defined by its ability to communicate. Everything else on the board is comparatively well understood. OCPP and ISO 15118 are large, exacting standards, and building either from scratch means months of development followed by interoperability testing that is difficult to scope and easy to underestimate.
Licensing a validated implementation removes that work. Your engineers spend their time on the electronics and the features that differentiate the product, rather than on a protocol layer that every competitor also has to build.
Versinetic's parent company ByteSnap Design has worked in EV charging since 2010, starting with the MiDDaS project and then the charge post electronics for the London 2012 Olympic vehicle fleet. That is what you license rather than rebuild.
Where a licence fits
You license the communications and control software; your electronics, enclosure, brand and product roadmap remain entirely your own.
What you can license
License the modules you need. Each is standards-based and ready to embed in your product firmware - take one, or combine them into a complete communications and control stack.
A standards-based OCPP client that interprets the protocol between a Charging Station Management System and your charger - requesting information, interpreting messages and instructing the charge point. OCPP is an open standard, so your product stays interoperable with any supporting back office. Versions 1.6 and 2.0.1 today, with 2.1 in development.
Learn moreVehicle-to-grid communications with Plug & Charge support, ready to embed for bi-directional power transfer and seamless authentication between the vehicle and the charge point.
Learn moreThe onboard control logic that runs a smart charge point - connectivity, authentication, metering, load management and net-zero modes - proven across AC charging, which is the majority of installed capacity.
Commissioning and configuration in the installer's hands, branded as yours - a guided wizard that finds chargers over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Ethernet and copies settings across a site.
Learn moreThe licensing model
Use our OCPP software product as-is, or take a licence for a unique, bespoke solution. Either way, the route is the same - scope, license, integrate and support.
01
We start with your charger architecture and target markets, then map which modules - OCPP, ISO 15118 or the wider control firmware - you license, and where your own IP takes over.
02
You take a licence to the software you need and embed it in your product firmware. Because the protocol layer is already validated, your engineers focus on the electronics and the features that differentiate your charger.
03
We support you throughout the charge point life cycle - with software and hardware engineers working side by side - so your product stays compliant and maintainable long after launch.
Software and hardware engineers stay available through the charge point lifecycle, so the product remains compliant and maintainable long after launch. More on how we work, or use the library as it is and engage us for a licence shaped around something unique with bespoke charger design.
Why build under licence
Building the OCPP and ISO 15118 layers from scratch is slow, exacting and easy to underestimate. Licensing a validated implementation lets you reach market faster while keeping full ownership of your product.
Discuss a licenceSkip the protocol rebuild
OCPP and ISO 15118 are large, exacting standards. Licensing a validated implementation removes months of ground-up development and the interoperability testing that comes with it.
Keep your product, brand and roadmap
Licensing embeds proven technology beneath your own charger. Your brand, your hardware and your feature direction stay entirely yours.
Open-standard flexibility
Because OCPP is a non-proprietary open standard, a licensed client connects with any supporting CSMS or back office - for both AC mains chargers and DC rapid chargers.
Faster, lower-risk route to market
A licence replaces the cost and delay of building and certifying the communications layer yourself, changing the economics of bringing a differentiated charger to market.
Bespoke where it matters
Use the standard library as-is, or engage us for software licensing tailored to a unique, bespoke solution built around your product.
Versinetic is the EV charging division of ByteSnap Design, an ISO 9001:2015 certified embedded electronics consultancy. Four Engineering Matters Silver Awards in 2025, three of them for LinkRay, and the 2020 EVIE Award for Innovation in V2G. Also see the charge controller boards and about Versinetic.

Your top queries answered
On back-office connectivity in particular, the OCPP library covers how the integration works.
No. OCPP is an open standard, so a licensed client connects to any supporting charge station management system. We do not sell one, and we are not trying to move you onto ours.
OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 today, with 2.1 in development. Where an estate spans versions, the protocol abstraction layer lets modules run side by side rather than forcing a single migration.
At the software layer, yes. You license the communications and control firmware and it disappears inside your product - your brand, your hardware, your roadmap. The white-label installer app works the same way.
Plug & Charge support and the vehicle-to-charge-point communications needed for bi-directional power transfer, ready to embed in your firmware.
Per product, scoped to your architecture and target markets. Scoping comes first, so that the boundary between licensed modules and your own intellectual property is explicit.
Software and hardware engineers through the lifecycle, not just at integration. The point of licensing is that the compliance burden stays with us.
