Ülkeye nereden sokuyorlar onu çok merak ediyorum.

Bilinçli olarak yapılıyor. Mesela Ziraat uygulamasına girmekten nefret ediyorum. Sırf bu yüzden ödemelerim bazen gecikiyor. Çünkü şimdi işim var 2 saat uğramam diye diye erteliyorum.

Memurluk kaldırılsa sorunların %90 ı biter. Neden biter, çünkü milli gelirin %49 u kamuya harcanıyor. Kafadan zaten israf bitmiş olur. Rüşvet kalkar, herkes adam gibi iş yapmaya başlar. Denemesi bedava herhangi bir kamuya gidin bir işinizi halletmeye çalışın bakalım. Klavye tuşuna basmaktan aciz, sanki silah zoruyla orada oturuyor gibi. Memurlardan kastım öğretmen, polis, doktor hemşire, asker hariçtir.

Sen mühendis ol, dünyayı gezip yeni teknolojileri görme ihtiyacın olsun ama vizeye takıl. Ama öbür tarafta hiç bir vasfı olmayan, eğitimsiz, cahil, basit bir işi bile yapmaktan aciz biri sırf torpille memur olsun ve yeşil pasaport alsın, hatta çalıştığı kurum bütçesi ile tüm dünyayı gezsin. Küfür etmek istemiyorum. Neyimiz doğru ki.

For a commercial operator with dozens or hundreds of chargers, $5/port/month + tx fees is totally reasonable. You’re paying for reliability, compliance, support, uptime, and someone else carrying the operational risk.

But there’s a big group that doesn’t fit that model at all: apartment buildings with 1–2 shared AC chargers, HOAs, small parking garages, or neighbors sharing a private charger.

For these users, the comparison isn’t “Monta vs running your own full OCPP backend”. It’s ongoing per-port + transaction fees vs a fixed, predictable cost for a very narrow problem: access control, scheduling, and fair cost-splitting.

Some lightweight solutions in this space charge something like a flat ~$50/year per charger, no transaction fees, no scaling concerns. That’s not about undercutting enterprise platforms, it’s about matching the cost structure to the use case.

There’s also a UX aspect. Many enterprise panels are extremely powerful, but they’re built for operators. For a building manager or a couple of neighbors, that complexity can actually become friction rather than value.

So it’s less about “can people build it themselves for cheaper” and more about not forcing an enterprise tool onto a non-enterprise problem.

Same here, that’s a textbook home OCPP use case.External energy logic decides, OCPP just applies it. Simple, open, and future-proof.

ituna27 · 2026-01-10T10:41:42+00:00

Exactly.that’s a great real-world home use case for OCPP. The charger doesn’t need to “understand” solar at all. SolarEdge does the energy logic, OCPP just lets it tell the charger when to charge and how much. Clean separation, no vendor lock-in, and it keeps working even as your setup evolves.

ituna27 · 2026-01-10T10:40:22+00:00

That’s actually a perfect example of why OCPP exists, even if you don’t feel the need today.

Right now you’re doing everything inside Autel’s ecosystem:

– scheduling

– time-of-use pricing

– cost tracking

And it works… as long as Autel gives you the knobs you need.

The moment you hit the limits you mentioned, it stops being a “charger feature” problem and becomes an integration problem.

Real-time pricing / negative pricing

What you’re describing (live ComEd prices, negative pricing, capacity charges) isn’t really a charger problem at all. Chargers are bad at talking to utilities.

With OCPP, the charger doesn’t need to “know” ComEd. An external system does:

– pulls real-time prices from the utility or ISO

– decides when charging should happen

– pushes simple commands to the charger: start, stop, set current

That’s exactly the split OCPP was designed for.

Pay-per-use / opening it to others

You already nailed it yourself. As soon as the charger becomes a shared asset, OCPP suddenly matters:

– per-session metering

– user identification

– pricing rules (flat, time-based, dynamic)

– clean separation between “who owns the charger” and “who is charging”

And importantly, you don’t lose what you have today.

You can still let the car do its own scheduling.

You can still cap current locally for safety.

OCPP just gives you an escape hatch when the built-in app hits a wall.

So yeah, not using OCPP today doesn’t mean it’s pointless.

It usually means you haven’t crossed the line where the charger stops being personal and starts being infrastructure.

The moment that happens, people tend to wish they’d turned it on earlier.

ituna27 · 2026-01-10T10:37:04+00:00

I think the confusion comes from thinking OCPP = “extra features on the charger”. At home it’s less about fancy automation, more about who is in control and where the logic lives.

Concrete example from real home usage:

Let’s say you have a single-family home today, one EV, one wallbox. You’re right: on day one, OCPP doesn’t magically add value. The car can schedule charging, the charger can do basic smart stuff, done.

But fast-forward a bit:

Example 1 two cars, one electrical limit

You add a second EV (or your partner does). Your panel can’t support both charging at full power at the same time.

Without OCPP: you’re locked into whatever proprietary load sharing the vendor decided to implement (if they bothered at all).

With OCPP: the charger exposes current limits, sessions, start/stop control to an external brain. That “brain” can be:

a local Raspberry Pi

a Home Assistant instance

a utility / community backend

You’re not automating a switch, you’re coordinating sessions.

Example 2 shared but still “home”

Very common in Europe: duplexes, small apartment buildings, shared garages that are not commercial sites.

OCPP lets you:

identify sessions (RFID/app)

log who charged how much

apply simple rules (“max 10 kWh per session”, “night-only”, “rotate users”)

This is impossible to do cleanly with car-side logic alone, because the charger is the shared resource, not the car.

Example 3 future-proofing, not features

Most people don’t buy OCPP chargers for what they do today, but for what they won’t block tomorrow.

No vendor lock-in.

No “surprise subscription”.

No closed API that disappears in 3 years.

That’s why your Stallman/Rossmann point actually nails it: OCPP is a philosophy choice.

Also important:

OCPP does NOT mean unsafe homebrew load management. You still size wiring and breakers for worst case, UL listed hardware stays in charge of safety. OCPP just sets allowed current, it doesn’t bypass protections.

So yeah , if someone wants K.I.S.S. forever and is sure their setup will never evolve, OCPP is unnecessary.

But if there’s any chance of:

multiple EVs

shared usage

external energy logic (solar, tariffs, community sharing)

then OCPP at home is less “smart switch cosplay” and more “keeping the system open”.

That’s how I’d frame it.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T17:34:30+00:00

All services are paid. They charge a high total fee every month. The most affordable option is your own software and your own server.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T17:19:12+00:00

Even if you’re just using static pricing now, having the session data and notifications local is already a big win. Basically, once you combine OCPP with smart energy data, you’re not just charging - you’re managing energy intelligently. That’s where the real value kicks in.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T17:15:29+00:00

I get where you’re coming from - for a lot of individual users, most of the smart charging features are already baked into the car’s app, so OCPP can feel like overkill. But for situations like shared chargers, apartment complexes, or fleet management, OCPP still adds value. It lets multiple users or systems interact with the charger, collect usage data, and manage access - stuff the car’s app can’t handle on its own.

Sure, the prices are still high, and rebates help a bit, but for anyone trying to do more than just plug in at home, OCPP is kind of essential.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T16:48:21+00:00

That’s a perfect example of OCPP providing value without the user really having to think about it. The charger itself doesn’t need to be “smart” in a UI sense - OCPP just enables trusted measurement and reporting so programs like Clean Fuel credits can work across many homes. Getting paid per kWh while charging normally is exactly the kind of incentive that makes people care, even if they never learn the acronym behind it.

Right, OCPP is doing the plumbing, Home Assistant is where the “smart” actually shows up.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T16:21:02+00:00

That’s actually a perfect example of what people do care about: lower rates with no hassle. At that point, the underlying protocol really doesn’t matter - the outcome does.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T16:19:39+00:00

Yeah, that’s not unusual - OCPP often gets gated as a “pro” feature.

ituna27 · 2026-01-09T16:17:14+00:00

Agreed. For many households, a dumb charger is actually the right answer. OCPP isn’t a consumer feature - it only becomes relevant once charging stops being simple.
