AMPECO and Autel Europe Strengthen Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure with Successful Integration of OCPP 2.0.1 Standard

20 August 2025

AMPECO, the global leader in EV charging management software, and Autel Europe, a leading provider of EV charging solutions, announce the successful completion of OCPP 2.0.1 testing between Autel's MaxiCharger DH480 and AMPECO's EV charging management platform. This achievement provides Charge Point Operators (CPOs) with enhanced operational control, improved security, and advanced energy management capabilities, essential for expanding modern EV charging networks across Europe.

The successful integration of OCPP 2.0.1 delivers significant operational benefits that directly address the challenges facing CPOs today. The advanced security framework provides robust cybersecurity protection through Level 2 TLS encryption and certificate authentication, ensuring CPOs can maintain secure operations while meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in European markets. The protocol enables sophisticated load balancing and dynamic charging profiles, allowing CPOs to optimize energy distribution across multiple charging points, which is essential for managing peak demand periods and reducing operational costs while maximizing station utilization.

Support for OCPP 2.0.1 positions CPOs for emerging technologies, including Plug&Charge. This backward compatibility protects infrastructure investments and opens new revenue opportunities as the electric vehicle ecosystem evolves. Advanced remote management capabilities allow CPOs to monitor, control, and troubleshoot charging sessions in real time, significantly reducing on-site maintenance requirements and improving network availability.

The MaxiCharger DH480 is a 480 kW all-in-one DC charging solution designed for high-demand environments such as highway corridors, commercial depots, and public charging centers. Its modular architecture offers high deployment flexibility, simplified maintenance, and easy scalability to adapt to varying site requirements. Supporting up to four simultaneous charging outputs, the MaxiCharger DH480 allows operators to charge multiple vehicles at once, optimizing power distribution and reducing waiting times during peak hours. The charger is also designed for simple installation and upgrade, making it ideal for evolving infrastructure needs.

Integration testing validated key features, including secure communication protocols, remote session management, and smart charging profile compatibility. The MaxiCharger DH480 successfully passed the OCPP 2.0.1 integration test with the AMPECO platform, demonstrating full compliance with key technical requirements. The validation process focused on secure communication with TLS Level 2 encryption and basic authentication, remote session management capabilities, and smart charging profile compatibility for advanced load management and network-aware charging strategies.

“The integration with Autel Europe demonstrates AMPECO’s commitment to providing CPOs with best-in-class hardware integration options ,” said Glenn L’Heveder, Director of Sales and Business Development, Europe, AMPECO. “OCPP 2.0.1 represents a significant advancement in charging infrastructure capabilities, and our successful integration with the MaxiCharger DH480 ensures CPOs can deploy these advanced features with confidence. This collaboration exemplifies our hardware-agnostic approach, which provides operators with the flexibility to choose their preferred hardware partners while maintaining the highest levels of performance and reliability.”

“We are delighted to see the DH480 successfully integrated into AMPECO’s platform ,” said Andreas Lastei, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Autel Europe. “This collaboration reflects our continued commitment to open standards and practical, interoperable solutions that enable charging station operators to expand their networks with confidence. By working closely with trusted software partners such as AMPECO, we aim to accelerate the development of a reliable and future-proof EV charging infrastructure across Europe. This integration also marks an important first step: our latest-generation product line will soon be fully compatible with OCPP 2.0.1, expanding the possibilities for deploying a seamless and future-proof network.”
