⚡ ChargePi-go

ChargePi is an open-source Linux based OCPP-enabled ⚡Charging Point🔌 project. It is configurable, simple to make and uses off-the-shelf hardware.

It supports multiple connectors🔌, which consist of an indicator (🚥 RGB LED strip), a EV Charge Controller and a ⚡ power meter. Optionally, the charge point supports an RFID/NFC reader and a display as an user interface.

ChargePi-go client can be deployed/run in multiple ways:

• standalone
• Docker 🐳 and docker-compose
