ChargeSphere enables seamless roaming between charging networks by leveraging the OCPI standard for interoperability and integrating with ISO 15118 for secure, authenticated charging sessions. It supports multi-tenant environments through isolated network configurations that allow each operator to manage their own charging infrastructure while connecting to a shared platform. The platform facilitates real-time communication between networks, enabling users to locate, reserve, and pay for charging across multiple providers without friction.
How ChargeSphere Works in Practice
In practice, ChargeSphere acts as a central hub that translates data between different charging networks using OCPI. When a user initiates a charge session, the system verifies credentials and payment methods through the connected networks. It dynamically routes requests to the appropriate charging station, ensuring that users can access any compatible network regardless of ownership or brand. This process happens in real time, with minimal delay for the end user.
What This Means for Charge Point Operators
For Charge Point Operators (CPOs), ChargeSphere simplifies network expansion by removing the need to build proprietary connections to other networks. Instead, they can participate in a shared roaming ecosystem where their infrastructure is discoverable and usable by users from other providers. This increases utilization of their charging stations and opens new revenue streams through shared access. The multi-tenant architecture also allows operators to maintain control over their data and operations while benefiting from centralized management tools.
