Why partner with CURRENT?
At CURRENT, we have spent the last decade ensuring smooth charge point operations for our customers. One of the most important ways we have done that is through the development, implementation, and promotion of OCPP-compliant systems and components. That experience has led to the development of the CURRENT CPM program: a comprehensive suite of features for manufacturers of electric vehicle charge points.
How does it work?
Every time you submit a charger for OCPP certification, it costs five thousands USD, regardless of the outcome. For many CPM’s, the cost of completing OCPP certification can become astronomical. That is why we created the CURRENT CPM program. Access to the program is granted on 24 months (2 years) basis and allows you to conduct unlimited OCPP FW and HW tests. We developed the program to give our hardware partners access to the tools they need to conduct valid and full OCPP 1.6 and OCPP 2.0.1 tests on their hardware. Using the tool, you can run as many tests as you would like. That way, you will know your chargers are ready for certification before you submit them, saving both time and money. In addition, the CURRENT CPM program is a fantastic tool for development and testing during every development phase. Next, we will cover some features you will get access to.
What do I get?
The CPM Program contains everything a Charge Point Manufacturer needs to develop and test the OCPP compliance of their Charge Point. As a CPM Program customer, you can conduct Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) tests on different box models with specified firmware versions, ensuring compatibility and performance. These tests allow you to check the compatibility with all OCPP functions and enable you to complete the OCA use case faster. In addition, you can integrate new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) into the platform, create unique combinations of an EVSE, specific firmware, and number of connectors within the system, and add new firmware to enhance or modify the functionalities of the charge points.
At present, all our customers have immediate access to our self-help service to test their chargers against the CURRENT system and conduct OCPP testing. Create commission guides for installers, allowing installers to bundle your charger with the CURRENT-system, earning you a monthly commission any time one of your chargers is installed, and enable Charge Point Operators to use partner chargers.

Plans for the future
In the future, you will also be able to bundle services together, right in our portal. In addition, you can access, support, and debug any chargers for which you offer third line support through the CURRENT system. Finally, and most importantly, you can access insight into the operational data of all your charge points connected to the CURRENT system: giving you valuable insight into how your customers use your chargers, their failure rate, their strong points, and their weaknesses.
Our Solutions
The OCPP-Sandbox
The OCPP-Sandbox gives you complete access to everything above, and costs only €750 a month. For that price, you can test as many chargers as you want, using the most advanced sandbox on the market.
Please keep in mind that there is a one-year lock-in period. The subscription can be cancelled after 12 months.
Current Certified
If you don’t need or want to perform your own OCPP testing, we can do it for you. For a flat fee of €10.000, Current will handle the OCPP testing on your behalf. That way, you don’t have to worry about interpreting results and training staff. We’ll do a complete OCPP integration test, and check for full, partial, or no support for all OCPP modules.
At the end of our testing phase, you’ll receive a complete report with our recommendations. If we find you to be OCPP-Core compliant, and we find nothing alarming, we’ll also offer to include your charging box on our list of officially supported chargers.
