Hardware-agnostic charging means Ocean can connect, operate, and manage EV chargers from different manufacturers through the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). This allows operators to work with a wide range of charging hardware without being locked into a single vendor. Ocean supports industry-standard OCPP communication, enabling seamless integration, consistent control, and long-term flexibility across heterogeneous charging networks.

EV charging networks grow over time and rarely rely on a single charger vendor. Operators often manage mixed hardware portfolios across locations, generations, and use cases.
Without a hardware-agnostic platform, teams face fragmented operations, limited flexibility, and costly vendor dependencies.
Hardware-agnostic charging solves this by allowing CPOs and EMSPs to:
Operate mixed charger fleets across multiple locations
Maintain consistent monitoring and control across vendors
Ensure reliable network performance as fleets scale
Integrate chargers from multiple vendors and partners
Deliver a unified charging experience to drivers
Reduce dependency on specific hardware providers
