EVBox integrates with E-Flux by Road’s backend to accelerate electric mobility towards OCPP 2.0.1 for AC charging
EVBox AC charging stations, EVBox Livo and EVBox Liviqo, have been successfully integrated with E-Flux by Road’s backend that supports the OCPP 2.0.1 protocol. E-Flux is built for charge point owners looking for a complete solution to manage their charging stations and charging transactions, while offering driver support services.
AMSTERDAM, September 12, 2024 – EVBox, a leading provider in electric vehicle (EV) solutions, and Road, an EV charging management platform, have successfully completed OCPP 2.0.1 compatibility testing of EVBox Livo (home charging) and EVBox Liviqo (commercial charging) with Road’s E-Flux backend.
Both EVBox AC charging stations and Road’s E-flux backend support OCPP 2.0.1, the communication protocol that connects EV charging stations to EV charging backends. OCPP 2.0.1 brings new capabilities such as increased flexibility in transactions, improved smart charging capabilities and more insights into the health of the station through Device Model. This allows operators to minimize downtime and lower operating costs. Additionally, OCPP 2.0.1 enhances security across the network to reduce the risk of cyberattacks, a development which both Road and EVBox are prioritizing.
With the successful completion of compatibility testing, users of E-Flux by Road can now add EVBox Livo and Liviqo to their network and benefit from the capabilities of this new generation of charging stations.
This new addition to our hardware-agnostic EV platform gives installers and customers have more freedom of choice. We have been long-time advocates of OCPP and we utilise the protocol for seamless and secure connectivity. Our customers who use EVBox’s charge stations can connect using a variety of encryption mechanisms and are assured of simple and straightforward transactions and processes.Gina ter Heide, (Chief Product Officer at Road)
With industry partners such as Road, we can enhance the experience for EV drivers and Charge Point Operators with reliable and simple charging solutions. I am pleased to see that Road is a front runner in OCPP 2.0.1 as this enables new possibilities to scale and operate charging stations reliably and securely.Markus Dehn (CTO at EVBox)
