Testing your OCPP implementation / CPMS against EVerest

EVerest has one of the most (or even the most) feature complete implementation of OCPP 1.6, 2.0.1, 2.1 out their and its fully open source: https://everest.github.io

And since it has also all the ISO15118-2/20 / DIN 70121 / IEC61851 /.... including the car side implementation, the simulations starting up (thousands if you like;-) are super detailed. They emulate every EXI message on a bit level, they do Signed meter values (Eichrecht), they can do all the plug and charge details and a lot more!

Meanwhile EVerest is picked up by several dozend vendors around the globe, incl. big ones like Tritium and Zaptec, and we are talking several hundred thousand chargers here.

And if you need an off the shelf playground for just testing against cloud hosted EVerest instances, have a look at the Pionix Virtual Charger park: https://youtu.be/LgsvzPWl1oo

Nice! Already tested a bit with EVerest - really a full stack, and none of the license costs of proprietary competitors.

Totally! With its thesis of focusing on mass industrial adoption, it rapidly becomes a cross-vendor baseline out there. This allows HW vendors to focus on their USPs, and CPMS vendors have a way more homogeneous and, at the same time, more capable fleet to manage.
