To see which charging stations have been tested with Switch head to our charging station database here. If you are thinking of using a charging station which is not on the list and would like it tested, or you are a manufacturer looking for some testing, please get in touch.
Switch Approved is a testing program specifically for charging stations utilising the latest standards and features with OCPP 2.0.1. The Switch Platform is certified by the OCA for its OCPP 2.0.1 implementation meaning you can have absolute confidence in the operation of any 2.0.1 charging stations.
Switch Approved stations are guaranteed to work seamlessly with the Switch Platform and allow operators to take advantage of the advanced features offered by OCPP 2.0.1 such as;
