The Road to Sustainability with Open Technology - EV Charging

Launching OpenUK’s second Blueprint for Sustainability and Open Technology, following its Data Centre Blueprint Patchwork Kilt, this session will look at the content of the EV Charging Blueprint and challenges faced in creating a blueprint and using Open Technology in the EV Charging Arena. The Blueprint process has involved engagement with enterprise, individual experts and across the UK and Devolved Governments.
There will be a particular focus on Standards and the Open Charge Alliance’s Open Standard “OCPP” (Open Charge Point Protocol) standard across the discussion.

2023 Prediction

“We will see UK leadership in open technologies, open source software, open hardware and open data come to the fore as we shift digitalisation gears and belts are pulled in. #SOOCon23 in London, at £199 a two day ticket will be the ideal conference to develop Open Technology skills, to network with the right people and to have new experiences.”
