To integrate Tecell’s CMS with a new EVSE manufacturer using CCS2 in a multi-tenant environment, the EVSE must support OCPP 2.0.1, provide secure communication via TLS 1.3, and implement dynamic pricing capabilities. The integration also requires adherence to OCPI standards for roaming and support for multi-tenant data isolation and role-based access control.
Technical Implementation Details
The EVSE must expose a secure API endpoint that supports OCPP 2.0.1 messaging, including firmware updates, remote monitoring, and transaction management. It should also support dynamic pricing through the tariff and reservation features of OCPP 2.0.1. Communication between the EVSE and CMS must be encrypted using TLS 1.3 to ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
Multi-tenant environments demand that each tenant’s data remain isolated, with distinct namespaces for charging sessions, user accounts, and billing. The EVSE must support role-based access control, allowing different levels of access for operators, fleet managers, and end-users. This ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized parties within each tenant’s scope.
Operational Considerations
In practice, this integration allows fleet operators to manage multiple charging networks from a single platform, reducing operational overhead. For example, a transportation company using multiple EVSE manufacturers can standardize their charging operations through Tecell’s CMS, regardless of the underlying hardware.
For apartment complexes or commercial deployments, the integration enables dynamic load balancing and smart charging policies. The EVSE can adjust charging rates based on grid conditions or time-of-use tariffs, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining service quality for tenants or employees.
