Features
Core Features

Validate OCPP & OCPI deployments with confidence

AI-powered test automation, realistic simulations, and compliance-grade security for OCPP 1.6, OCPP 2.0.1, OCPI 2.1.1, and OCPI 2.2.1.

OCPP 1.6 & 2.0.1 Ready

Version coverage in one workspace

Switch between OCPP versions in one workspace. Validate message coverage, compare flows, and check conformance before changes reach production chargers.

OCPI 2.1.1 & 2.2.1 Coverage

One workflow for both versions

Validate roaming, hub interoperability, and newer OCPI modules without waiting on live partners. Cover both widely deployed and newer OCPI flows in one place.

AI Test Builder

Reduce repetitive test setup

Describe a scenario in plain English, turn it into a reusable workflow draft, and refine it visually for regression testing.

Smart Debugging

Shorter issue triage loops

Use logs, message context, and AI assistance to narrow down failures faster when a flow breaks or coverage is incomplete.

Stress Test at Scale

Rehearse high-volume releases

Spin up 10,000+ virtual chargers in seconds. Find breaking points before your customers do. Real traffic, zero risk.

Security Audits

Audit-ready exports

Review TLS, authentication, and security-profile behavior in one place and export reports your team can use during internal review.

Buyer Confidence

What teams can verify before they buy

The fastest way to trust OCPPLab is to inspect protocol depth, integration scope, product views, plan fit, and support expectations before procurement starts.

OCPP 1.6, OCPP 2.0.1, OCPI 2.1.1, OCPI 2.2.1

Protocol coverage you can inspect

Version pages, supported modules, and example flows are visible on the site so buyers can verify protocol scope before they talk to sales.

Review protocol pages

ABB, EVBox, Wallbox, Alfen, GIREVE, Hubject

Integration scope you can sanity-check

Vendor and roaming-partner pages make it easier to see whether OCPPLab matches the exact charger or hub workflows your team needs to validate.

See integrations

Logs, workflows, charger profiles

Product depth before the demo

The site already shows protocol logs, workflow editing, and charger-profile screens so buyers can judge whether the product is operationally useful, not just conceptually interesting.

Explore features

Developer, Professional, Enterprise

Plan fit is easier to reason about

Pricing and plan-fit sections explain which plan matches early validation, release QA, or enterprise-scale rollout work instead of making buyers decode a pricing table alone.

Compare plans

Cloud now, on-prem or hybrid when needed

Deployment and support paths are visible

Smaller teams can start in the cloud, while Enterprise buyers can discuss on-premises or hybrid deployment plus dedicated support before procurement starts.

Talk through deployment

Trial or demo path

Evaluation can start before a long sales cycle

A technical buyer can start with a self-serve trial path for early validation or book a scoped demo when vendor coverage, roaming, or support requirements are more complex.

Representative Scenarios

Two ways teams usually prove fit before they buy

These are representative evaluation paths based on the kinds of OCPP and OCPI workflows teams need to validate. They are examples of how buyers usually inspect product fit, not named customer case studies.

Representative scenario 01

CSMS release team

Mixed-fleet OCPP regression before a production rollout

A backend team wants confidence that a CSMS release will not break charger onboarding, transactions, or smart charging across both legacy and newer fleets.

What they usually verify

  • Run OCPP 1.6 and OCPP 2.0.1 chargers side by side with ABB, EVBox, Wallbox, and Alfen-style profiles.
  • Replay BootNotification, Authorize, MeterValues, TransactionEvent, reconnect, and remote-command flows while inspecting raw protocol logs.
  • Use the evaluation to decide whether the Developer, Professional, or Enterprise plan matches charger volume, automation depth, and deployment needs.

Representative scenario 02

Roaming interoperability team

OCPI partner onboarding before hub or bilateral go-live

A roaming team needs to validate credentials, tariffs, sessions, and CDR exchanges before a new OCPI connection reaches a real partner or certification path.

What they usually verify

  • Exercise credentials, locations, tokens, sessions, CDRs, and tariff sync flows across OCPI 2.1.1 and OCPI 2.2.1.
  • Rehearse hub-oriented paths such as GIREVE, Hubject, ChargingProfiles, and HubClientInfo handling where relevant.
  • Use the first demo to confirm whether OCPPLab fits direct partner validation, certification prep, or wider roaming regression testing.

Validate More Before You Touch Real Hardware

Launch virtual chargers quickly, inspect protocol traffic, and validate backend changes before you push them into a real charger fleet.

OCPP Simulator

What is an OCPP simulator?

An OCPP simulator is a virtual charge point simulator that reproduces how EV chargers talk to a Charge Station Management System over OCPP. Teams use it to validate BootNotification flows, authorization, transactions, meter values, smart charging, firmware updates, and failure recovery before deploying changes to production chargers.

OCPPLab is a cloud-based OCPP simulator built for CSMS teams that need scale as well as protocol realism. It supports OCPP 1.6, OCPP 2.0.1, OCPI 2.1.1, and OCPI 2.2.1, lets you launch 10,000+ virtual charge points, and helps engineering teams replace slow hardware-lab cycles with repeatable cloud testing.

What teams use it to test

  • OCPP 1.6 testing for core charger onboarding, transactions, heartbeats, and meter value flows.
  • OCPP 2.0.1 testing for smart charging, device management, and security-profile workflows.
  • OCPI 2.1.1 testing for core roaming modules such as credentials, locations, sessions, CDRs, and tokens.
  • OCPI 2.2.1 testing for hub workflows, ChargingProfiles, HubClientInfo, and richer tariff behavior.

OCPP Simulator vs Emulator

OCPP simulator vs OCPP emulator

EV charging teams often use OCPP simulator and OCPP emulator interchangeably. In practice, teams searching for an OCPP simulator usually need more than a single-device mock: they need realistic charger behavior, repeatable scenarios, protocol assertions, and enough scale to test their CSMS under pressure.

OCPPLab covers both needs. You can emulate individual charger behaviors for debugging and also simulate large fleets for regression testing, performance analysis, and release validation.

When teams say simulator

They usually want a virtual charge point platform that can run many chargers, automate scenarios, and support CSMS testing in CI/CD.

When teams say emulator

They often mean a charger-behavior replica for protocol debugging, integration checks, and reproducing vendor-specific edge cases.

Where OCPPLab fits

It gives you vendor-aware charger profiles, observability, AI-assisted QA, and fleet-scale OCPP load testing from one cloud platform.

Why that matters

You do not need separate tools for debugging, certification prep, and scale validation before shipping CSMS releases.
