Open Plug&Charge Protocol

Here you can find all documents and information about the open-source "Open Plug&Charge Protocol" (OPCP).

The OPCP protocol is already in productive use since 2019. Many vehicle OEMs, Mobility Operators and Chargepoint Operators are already using this protocol in creating, transferring, signing etc. of Plug&Charge related information based on the standard ISO15118-2 and the VDE Application Guide.

As it is important to achieve the best possible interoperability in the eMobility market it is crucial to use the same protocols in the Plug&Charge use case.

OPCP enables and reflects following use cases:

• independent Service Operation
  • RCP Service
  • PCP Service
  • CPS Service
  • CCP Service
  • PKI Authorities
• Authentication Method
• Multiple Contracts (EMAIDs) for one Vehicle (PCID)
• Standardized Event Service
• Interoperability between Ecosystems, V2G Root Operators etc
  • Multi Root -> CertificateSigningCertificate ability
  • Pool collaboration
• ISO15118-20 prepared (separate Namespace already in account)
