Compatibility guide
Tethered is hardware-agnostic. If your EV charger speaks OCPP 1.6-J or OCPP 2.0.1 — and almost every commercial charger sold in Australia does — it will run on Tethered. Below is the working list of brands and models we've deployed or actively support.
Full coverage — BootNotification, StatusNotification, Authorize, Start/Stop, MeterValues, Reservations, Local auth lists, Firmware updates.
Variable monitoring, security profile 3 (mTLS), device model, ISO 15118-2 Plug & Charge messages.
Signed certificate install, OCSP stapling with caching, eMAID-based authorisation.
Australian-made (Brisbane)
Full remote start/stop, MeterValues, firmware updates and diagnostics over OCPP. Tested with Tritium's PKM and RT series for highway and depot deployments.
Tritium OCPP detailsGlobal
ABB Terra AC and Terra DC chargers connect via OCPP straight into Tethered. Smart charging profiles and load balancing supported.
ABB OCPP detailsGlobal
Common in Australian commercial and fleet installs. Full OCPP feature parity including reservations and local auth lists.
Delta Electronics OCPP detailsGlobal
Tethered handles Wallbox's OCPP quirks (vendor-specific configuration keys) out of the box. Ideal for body corporate and small commercial sites.
Wallbox OCPP detailsUK / global
Popular for fleet depots. Tethered manages dynamic load balancing across EO units sharing a feeder.
EO Charging OCPP detailsGlobal
Works alongside Schneider's EcoStruxure for sites that need building-management integration plus driver-facing payments.
Schneider Electric OCPP detailsAustralian-distributed
First-party supported model in Tethered — error codes, configuration variables and firmware update flow are pre-mapped.
Ocular OCPP detailsVarious
If your charger speaks standard OCPP 1.6-J or 2.0.1, it will work with Tethered. Bring the station ID and endpoint URL — we handle the rest.
OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is the open standard chargers use to talk to back-office software like Tethered. Any charger that speaks OCPP 1.6-J or 2.0.1 can run on Tethered — you're never locked to one hardware vendor.
Yes. Tethered implements ISO 15118-2 and -20 Plug & Charge, including signed certificate installation, OCSP validation and eMAID authorisation, on chargers that support it (Tritium, ABB Terra DC, Wallbox Supernova, Ocular IQ and others).
Almost certainly yes. If your hardware speaks standard OCPP 1.6-J or 2.0.1, it will connect. Send us the make and model and we'll confirm before you commit.
Tethered is built for private network operators — body corporates, fleets and commercial sites — not public roaming. You keep ownership of your hardware, your tariffs and your driver data.
Send us the make, model and firmware version. We'll confirm OCPP support and walk you through onboarding.
