The '''Open Charge Point Protocol''' ('''OCPP''') is an [[application protocol]] for communication between [[Electric vehicle]] (EV) [[charging station]]s and a central management system, also known as a charging station network, similar to cell phones and cell phone networks. The original version was written by Joury de Reuver and Franc Buve.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ocppforum.net/ |title=Welcome to t Charge Alliance |publisher=Ocppforum.net |date= |accessdate=2013-10-12}}</ref>

The latest version is version 2.01. ([https://openchargealliance.org/protocols/open-charge-point-protocol/ OCPP versions])

Michel Bayings was the project leader who also contributed on the business and functional parts. The technical design and specs were developed by Franc Buve, Patrick Rademakers, and several others from LogicaCMG. Its aim was to create an open application protocol which allows EV charging stations and central management systems from different vendors to communicate with each other. It is in use by a large number of vendors of EV charging stations and central management systems all over the world.<ref>{{cite web |date= |title=Open Charge Alliance Participants |url=https://www.openchargealliance.org/participants/ |accessdate= |publisher=}}</ref>
