How open source can fix EV charging problems
summary
Everest is an LF Energy‑hosted open source reference implementation that implements charger‑to‑cloud and car‑to‑charger protocols, already shipping a full OCPP 1.6 stack and a basic OCPP 2.0.1 port, and completing ISO 15118‑2 plus work on ISO 15118‑20 for bidirectional charging. It includes a simulation engine that lets OEMs and backends run automated tests and CI, ChargeB and Pionix already integrate it into charge controllers, and vendors use it to port stable protocol stacks to hardware.
