OCPP also makes it easier to create a large-scale, visible network that uses a range of different charging stations since there is a requirement for only one operating system. Proponents of OCPP also cite a reduction in development costs since software designed to provide additional functionality would only need to be developed once and not several times to fit with each individual operating system. OCPP will also ease interoperability across the United States, and elsewhere, and minimize remedial work on systems.<ref name="switchev1"/>

The security part of OCPP defines an end-to-end security design architecture, with implementation guidelines for both charging stations and Central Management System. It was first introduced in 2018 and now is in its third revision. Correct implementation of the OCPP Security guidelines can protect against some of the more common attack scenarios including server hijack, communications eavesdropping and charging station impersonation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-17 |title=Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) Security Explained |url=https://wevo.energy/white-paperpapers/open-charge-point-protocol-ocpp-security-explained/ |access-date=2022-10-17 |website=WEVO |language=en-US}}</ref>
