How to Build Your Own High-Performance Charger with EVerest
summary
EVerest provides a modular, embedded‑Linux stack that implements ISO 15118-2/20 and DIN 70121 with Plug & Charge and connects to backends via OCPP 2.0.1 / 1.6. Code is Apache‑2.0 licensed, runs modules in C++, Python, JavaScript or Rust, and the project has ~250 contributors with ~58 active monthly. Demonstrated hardware includes a portable USB‑C powered micro‑megawatt tester that runs full protocol sessions (no high‑power delivery) and larger prototypes up to ~70 kW using YAK/YETI controller boards and CAN/PLC interfaces.
