OCPI tariffs

This project provides software for doing calculations with OCPI tariffs. Specifically for the OCPI 2.2.1 and OCPI 2.1.1 version.

You can test the tariff tool online.

OCPI is a protocol owned and maintained by the EV Roaming foundation.

Goals

• Provide a reference OCPI tariff implementation

  Given a certain CDR and a certain tariff it's able to calculate the different (sub)totals.

  The software provides as output a breakdown of how these (sub)totals were calculated.

• Provide an extensive set of test-cases to ensure correctness.

• Collect feedback from the community

  We aim to have as many parties as possible agree that this reference implementation is a correct interpretation of the OCPI specification and intentions. We aim for close cooperation with the EV Roaming Foundation.

  We welcome community contributions to this project. We aim to make it easy for people, familiar with OCPI, to provide new test cases.

• Provide the software as open source software so others can freely use and test it.

  Both a command line tool and a Rust library are provided.

• Expose the software functionality online to make it even easier for people to do calculations with the tariff software.

• Support OCPI 3 tariffs soon after OCPI 3 is finalized.

Non-goals

• Provide software which communicates tariffs using the OCPI protocol between EV roaming parties.

• Produce human consumable receipts which specify the different cost components that led to the calculated total price.

Interpretation

This implementation aims to follow the OCPI specification as closely as possible. However, as with any specification, details might be left open to interpretation. The following is a list of assumptions that have been made in this implementation:

• We assume that a FLAT price component can only be active once in a session. The first time a FLAT price component becomes active it will be used and subsequent active FLAT components will be ignored. Although this is not explicitly mentioned in the OCPI 2.. specs, we feel it is the correct interpretation.

• We assume that the charging periods provided as input are well-formed. Meaning, each period in the session that has a different price must be provided as a separate charging period in the CDR. No attempt will be made to subdivide or interpolate data inside a single provided period.
