Over the past few days, our team in Toronto weathered the city's biggest snowstorm in history—nearly two feet in less than 24 hours. This didn't stop our team from charging up! ❄️🔌 We've dug ourselves out of the snow and are back in the office today. (Shout out to our partner @IvyCharge, who kept their network running throughout the storm and helped many Ontarians make it home.)

🔌 Hardware choice. Software consistency. Better EV charging. Bundling EV charging hardware with a hardware-agnostic CSMS is one of the simplest ways to: ✔ Deploy faster ✔ Operate more reliably ✔ Scale without vendor lock-in 👉 Read more: hubs.la/Q03Yk-Fh0

We just wrapped up the inaugural Open Charge Alliance + @evroaming North America Member Meeting, hosted at our very own ChargeLab HQ. Some of our highlights: • The OCA launched its new whitepaper on EV charger network migrations • We heard from experts on EV charger cybersecurity • Lonneke Driessen gave an update on all the progress across OCPP working groups • We discussed the crucial interplay between OCPP for charger communications and OCPI for handshakes between charging networks • Michel Bayings prepared us for the upcoming release of OCPI 3.0 Thank you to everyone who joined us from Europe, Asia, and all across North America! 🌎

Today, we're hosting North America's very first Member Meeting for the Open Charge Alliance and @evroaming. We've welcomed 40+ industry experts to discuss open standards for EV charging, interoperability, cybersecurity, and everything else that goes into building a better EV charging experience. This morning, we heard from OCA Director Lonneke Driessen, plus engaging panelists who spoke about OCPP network migrations and security. This afternoon, we'll cover V2X, local controllers, and the interplay between OCPP and OCPI. Tomorrow is all about roaming, with EVRoaming Foundation Director Michel Bayings kicking off a packed agenda. We're proud to support both of these non-profit organizations that are working to standardize EV charging for all 💪

We welcomed our first snow of the season today at ChargeLab HQ in Toronto ❄️ Luckily, our indoor lab keeps us testing EV chargers throughout all four seasons. Our test lab is crucial in ensuring EV chargers operate smoothly with our back-end software and delivering ChargeLab's industry-leading uptime.

If you are new to EV charging, the unfamiliar terminology can feel overwhelming. We've explained some common charging terms from A to Z to help our friends just entering into the world of EV charging. What other terms would you add to the list? hubs.la/Q03PcNrm0

Choosing the right software to manage your EV chargers can feel overwhelming, so we created a simple guide that explains what is table stakes across your software options and where ChargeLab stands out. hubs.la/Q03NYGjD0

We are thrilled to announce that David Rehimi has joined ChargeLab as General Manager of Canada! David’s experience in the EV charging industry spans nearly a decade, starting with the growth of ChargePoint’s Canadian business back in 2017.

Come meet David and learn why ChargeLab leads Canada for open, interoperable EV charging management software.

Earlier today, Phillips & Temro announced the closure of its EvoCharge business. EvoCharge will stop selling new electric vehicle chargers today. It will also shut down its software for commercial and residential EV charging within 30 days. ChargeLab is announcing support for EvoCharge customers seeking a new charging management system.

Thank you to everyone who attended our event yesterday afternoon as part of @TOtechweek! We had a great time showcasing live demos of our product, making new friends, and teaching Toronto about electric vehicles ⚡️

If you want to get your own taste of ChargeFest, we're hosting an event as part of @TOtechweek. Come join us this Thursday: lu.ma/dx2hsf2j

Last week, we hosted ChargeFest 2025! We flew our entire team to Toronto for an annual onsite with 50+ team members. We walked away from the event with three big takeaways: 1. The EV landscape is shifting: Nothing is static in the world of electric vehicles and EV charging. Federal support for EVs in the US is down, but adoption is still growing. Innovation across EV models, charging stations, and business models continues to push the industry forward. Our job is to skate to where the puck is going, and that’s exactly what our team did last week. 2. AI is real: Not just for developers, but for everyone. We ran a cross-functional hackathon last week. Every team had representation from sales, ops, product, and engineering. In one afternoon, we built 8 new GPTs to automate processes within ChargeLab—from spinning up test chargers to running advanced database queries. Many of the GPTs we built last week will continue to be used, saving hundreds of hours for our team and our customers. 3. Behind every great technology is great people: Every product we ship and customer we serve is powered by incredible individuals. ChargeFest is not just a planning session and hackathon; it’s a celebration of the human beings shaping the future of EV charging. Nothing beats the energy of getting all of us in one room.

Today, we’re launching OpenOCPP, an open-source embedded software that makes any EV charger speak OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1. OpenOCPP gives EV charger manufacturers a huge head start by providing a compliant, secure, and pre-certified OCPP implementation—for free! Over the past five years, our team has integrated 200 different OCPP EV chargers. We’ve learned all the “dos” and “don’ts” of implementing OCPP on a resource-constrained device like a Level 2 charger. Two years ago, we decided to build our own embedded software that would tightly conform to OCPP specs. And today, we’re open-sourcing the whole project. Our goal with OpenOCPP is to help EV charger manufacturers save time, money, and headaches, especially when adopting OCPP 2.0.1. OpenOCPP does not just help ChargeLab, it helps our whole industry. It means more reliable EV chargers, faster integration for CSMS providers, and lower costs for everyone. Learn more about OpenOCPP here: chargelab.co/blog/introducin…

Good morning, Toronto! 🌅 We're at the @ElectricAutonmy EV & Charging Expo today. Come meet our product team to learn about all the latest innovations in EV charger management software.
