“This problem showed up firsthand — this is the platform operators wished existed.”
The problem
OCPPLabEV infrastructure is scaling faster than testing capabilities
The ecosystem is accelerating, but interoperability testing is still largely manual, hardware-dependent, expert-driven and non-continuous.
Slow launches and integrations
Manual, hardware-dependent validation keeps teams waiting on labs, chargers and protocol experts.
Hundreds of hours lost
Engineering time is pulled into reproduction work instead of product, partner onboarding and releases.
Issues found too late
Firmware regressions and partner edge cases show up in hub certification or production, not in the lab.
Testing has become the hidden bottleneck of EV infrastructure growth.
The business impact
OCPPLabThe Hidden Cost of EV Interoperability Failures
Every interoperability issue creates a chain reaction across the business.

Ecosystem
OCPPLabDifferent Buyers. Same Testing Pain.
Every EV infrastructure team needs continuous interoperability validation before issues reach partners, certification or production.
CPOs
New charger brands, firmware updates and backend releases
eMSPs
Charging experiences across chargers they do not control
Charger manufacturers
Compatibility across central systems and roaming ecosystems
Roaming platforms
Partner onboarding, certification and protocol edge cases
The solution
OCPPLabOCPP Lab Virtualizes the Entire EV Testing Ecosystem
OCPP Lab transforms interoperability testing from a manual, hardware-dependent process into a continuous software workflow.
Validate interoperability continuously
Test without physical hardware
Simulate complete EV ecosystems at scale
Detect, analyze and debug issues before production
Integrate testing directly into CI/CD pipelines
From physical and manual validation to continuous software-driven testing.
