EVerest grows constantly and besides the BelayBox development kit from Pionix, it has been used as a charging device firmware by several charging device manufacturers.
We are currently incorporating the following standards and technologies:
- EVerest core interconnecting all charging protocols and interfaces.
- MQTT framework to easily configure loosely coupled modules
- Hardware abstraction layer
- Software in the loop simulation
- ISO 15118 (AC wired charging)
- SLAC / ISO 15118-3 in C++
- ISO 15118-2 AC charging (preliminary external java dependencies, will be replaced) and DC charging
- Plug&Charge handling
- EN 61851
- DC DIN SPEC 70121
- OCPP 1.6+ (JSON) - All profiles and security extensions
- OCPP 2.0.1 partly, already done:
- Device Model implementation
- Remote Start / Stop
- Authorization Cache
- FirmwareUpdate
- and many more
- Smart charging: based on energy prices and limiting based on grid constraints
- Price API form: aWATTar, Tibber
- Solar forecast API: https://forecast.solar/
- Modbus
- Sunspec
- NFC authentication
- NodeRed integration
- Testing framework
- Further OCPP 2.0.1 / 2.1 implementation
- Ongoing ISO 15118-20 implementation (already done: Fully tested and operational ISO 15118-2 / DIN SPEC 70121 implementation, bidirectional PoC based on C/C++ implementation by Chargebyte/Pionix)
- Smart charging: based on solar generation and dynamic load balancing
- Remote System Architecture
- Error Handling and Reporting
- CarSimulator with ISO 15118-20 AC
- ISO 15118-X - all other features (DC, Wireless, Bidirectional, Plug&Charge)
- C++ based EXI parser & parser generator (ISO 15118-20 capable)
- Ongoing
- Car compatibility tests with various OEMs
- New drivers for components
Our vision is that EVerest enables every way of (at least a bit) smart charging, in all situations, from home to Work and even Public AC and DC unidirectional and bidirectional grid friendly charging. Moving forward, we have quite a list of things we want to add, and this is probably far from complete:
- Further backend integrations: https://www.openchargealliance.org/
- Car Communication
- CHAdeMO
- GB/T
- ChaoJi
- Advanced Energy Management with load balancing, solar integration and dynamic pricing
- Grid integration
- Smart Home Integration:
- EEBus https://www.eebus.org/
- SG Ready
- Smart Meter Integration
- IEEE 2030.5
- More HW drivers for e.g. Meters, other AC and DC charging controllers
- Payment APIs
