OCPP Explained: Everything you need to know in 10 minutes.

🔌 Ever wondered how any electric car can use almost any charging station, regardless of the manufacturer? The answer is a powerful communication protocol called OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol). As an engineer in the EV charging industry, I want to demystify this crucial piece of technology for you. In this video, we'll break down exactly what OCPP is, how it works, and why it's the backbone of the entire public EV charging network. Whether you're an engineering student, a fellow embedded developer, or just curious about EV technology, this guide is for you. 👇 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO: 👇 Introduction: The Big Problem OCPP Solves What is OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol)?
