“2023 promises to be another great year for our Open Charge Point Protocol. In the past few years, we have seen more and more developers, manufacturers, governments, and other organisations dive into open source in general and OCPP in particular for their electric mobility ambitions. In a growing number of countries this open protocol has or will become the go-to standard for EV Charging. We are seeing many start-ups and well-known companies flourish with brand new products and ideas.”
