OCPP
Open Charge Point Protocol
Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is an open standard for communication between EV charging stations and central management systems. OCPP 1.6 and 2.0 define how charging stations report status, receive remote commands (start/stop charging, set power limits), and provide telemetry (energy delivered, session duration). OCPP enables interoperability: any OCPP-compliant charger can work with any OCPP-compliant management system. Molecule's MOS 350 gateways support OCPP, allowing EV chargers to participate in VPP programs alongside batteries and other DERs. OCPP's message-based architecture is well-suited for VPP dispatch and telemetry verification.
How Molecule Systems Relates
MOS 350 supports OCPP 1.6 and 2.0, enabling EV chargers to be orchestrated alongside batteries and other DERs within the same VPP. This protocol-agnostic approach means fleet operators can manage mixed-asset portfolios (batteries + EV chargers + solar) through a single execution layer.
