Invitation to Innovate: Hubject collaborates with the majority of automotive OEMs, CPOs, EMPs, and technology providers to create the future of e-mobility infrastructure. Join us in accelerating the shift to sustainable transportation.
New Testing Opportunity:
End-to-End Plug & Charge with Roaming (OCPI)
At the CharIN Testival, we introduced a brand-new test category: End-to-End Plug & Charge with Roaming (OCPI). This scenario enabled participants to test their OCPI integrations by validating and demonstrating the full Plug & Charge flow across multiple backends, EVs, and EVSEs. Building on the success of demonstrations at the North America and Europe Testivals in 2025, this test package was designed for CPOs, eMSPs, and backend platform providers who wanted to bring their interoperability testing to the next level.
Test Flow: EV → EVSE → CPO backend → Contract validation & authentication → eMSP via OCPI → Charging session authorization → CDR resolution & reporting
The testing took place on the EVSEs directly.
Effort required: 2–3 days setup/testing, 90 minutes execution per test session.
This end-to-end Plug & Charge testing could be carried out in partnership with Irdeto, providing an added layer of security and interoperability. Together, we ensured seamless OCPI integration across multiple backends, EVs, and EVSEs.
Why join?
- Validate Plug & Charge + roaming integration in a real-world test environment.
- Gain visibility within the ecosystem and strengthen your platform’s interoperability.
- Access consulting and onboarding support from Irdeto experts.
- Benefit from logging, analysis, and reporting of success/failure flows.
Additional Features
At the upcoming CharIN Testival, for the regular round-robin testing the provision of an Online V2G PKI for PnC vis a CPMS for End2End testing use will be used. This testing option will feature a CPMS Backend, eMSP service, and Plug & Charge ecosystem, where EVSEs can connect to the CPMS Backend via the OCPP standard. Participants are required to complete the onboarding process for both EVSEs and EVs.
Additionally, an exciting new feature, Multi V2G PKI Testing, allows for testing multiple V2G PKIs at a dedicated location, requiring prior EV onboarding. The testing will be conducted at a dedicated test location where separate EVSEs or Test Systems with different V2G PKIs are prepared. Participants are required to complete the onboarding process for EVs, ensuring smooth testing procedures. The testers will receive the opportunity to sign up during the technical registration.
