New “mode 1&2-only” charging station added to OCPP certification

The technology around charging stations is still evolving. Usually most attention goes to the development of charging stations that deliver ever more power: fast chargers, ultra-fast chargers and megawatt chargers. At the same time, the need for low-cost charging stations for at home, office or parking lots is growing.

For this market a new type of charging station has recently been developed: the so-called “mode 1&2-only” charging station.

In this OCPP whitepaper we explain what it is, and how if differs from a regular charging station. We will also explain how certifying such a device differs from certifying a regular charging station.
