Description:

The electric car market saw exponential growth as sales exceeded 10 million in 2022. With that, there is an increase in the number of charging stations even in countries EVs are not yet as popular as in the US, UK, etc. Charging an EV consists of usually finding a charging station via an application (usually of the owner of the charging station), getting to the charging station, plugging in the vehicle, and initiating a charging session either via the same application or the charging station console. This charging ecosystem is intricate with protocols governing data transfer between the electric vehicles, the charging stations, and the respective application.

Through this talk, I want to introduce you to the world of EV charging: the technology, the implementation, the challenges, the whole package! Furthermore, I want to share my personal experience of implementing OCPI as an eMSP using python.
