VEV-IQ has been certified to comply with two designations under the rigorously assessed Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6 standard. The certifications ensure VEV-IQ becomes one of a highly select-few charge-station management systems to meet the globally recognised standards for universal charging-technology compatibility.

Established in 2014, the Open Charge Alliance is a non-profit organisation formed by influential e-mobility organisations around the world – dedicated to fostering the development and adoption of open standards and protocols in sustainable charging.

VEV’s cutting-edge software has secured compliance with the OCPP 1.6 Fully Certified and 1.6 Security Certified standards, reaffirming the platform’s meticulously engineered, exceptionally safe, and robust design, alongside its universal compatibility with EV charge-point technology.

VEV-IQ has become the first OCPP 1.6-verified solution available in France, but it is already a leading platform in the UK, alongside a handful of OCPP-compliant charging-station management-system providers. It enables fleet managers to take control of their vehicle, smart-charging, and energy infrastructure through one portal – helping them to achieve a cost-efficient and sustainable transition to electric power.

“The Open Charge Point Protocol is seen as the gold-standard for universal charging-point technology compatibility and security” said Mike Nakrani, CEO of VEV. “The Open Charge Alliance’s protocols not only play an enormous role in helping fleets to electrify much easier and faster, but also for protecting the communication between charging infrastructure and management systems from costly cyber-attacks. Fleets cannot afford to invest in technology that does not effectively futureproof their assets and the success of their electric transition. The new OCPP certifications for VEV-IQ are a fitting testament to the quality of the product and our commitment to technological innovation, and we look forward to helping more fleets electrify with peace of mind.”
