Compatibility guide

Supported OCPP EV chargers for private networks

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.

OCPP 1.6-J

Full coverage — BootNotification, StatusNotification, Authorize, Start/Stop, MeterValues, Reservations, Local auth lists, Firmware updates.

Frequently asked questions

What is OCPP and why does it matter?

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.

Do you support ISO 15118 Plug & Charge?

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).

My charger isn't listed — can I still use Tethered?

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.

How is this different from Everty, Chargefox or Exploren?

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.

Not sure if your charger is compatible?

Send us the make, model and firmware version. We'll confirm OCPP support and walk you through onboarding.
