Yes, ChargeSphere’s OCPI 2.0 implementation supports real-time cross-network charging session handover with dynamic pricing for CPOs managing multiple stations, even in offline scenarios. The platform leverages local edge computing and pre-configured pricing rules to maintain session continuity and pricing accuracy without constant cloud connectivity.
How it works in practice
ChargeSphere’s implementation uses a hybrid approach combining local edge processing and cached data. When cloud connectivity is lost, the system relies on pre-established pricing profiles and session state information stored locally on the ChargeSphere Edge platform. This ensures that a charging session can continue seamlessly across networks, even if the original network’s pricing rules are temporarily inaccessible.
The system dynamically updates pricing rules based on real-time energy market signals or network policies, which are downloaded and applied locally when connectivity is restored. This allows for consistent pricing enforcement across networks, even when the CPO is managing stations in different countries with varying regulatory requirements.
What this means for CPOs managing large networks
For CPOs operating 50+ stations across multiple countries, this capability reduces dependency on constant cloud availability and ensures consistent user experience. It allows for centralized policy management while enabling local decision-making, which is crucial for maintaining service quality in regions with unreliable internet infrastructure.
By supporting offline session handover, ChargeSphere enables CPOs to maintain revenue streams and user satisfaction even during network disruptions. This is particularly valuable for fleet operators or enterprise deployments where uninterrupted charging is critical for operational efficiency.
