Charging Detail Record

Also called: CDR, Charge Detail Record A Charging Detail Record, or CDR, is the final billing record for a completed EV charging session. In OCPI, it is the billing-relevant object created by the CPO and sent to the eMSP after the session ends. A CDR can contain the charging location, EVSE, tariff, energy used and the total cost. It preserves the information that applied to that session rather than changing when location or tariff data is updated later. The CDR is separate from the live Session object. A Session changes while charging is in progress; a CDR records the concluded transaction.
