I hope to speak to Qmerit, who is Ford’s preferred installer of the FCSP in the Fleet segment

Ford F-150 Lightning OCPP: is Ford Charge Station Pro OCPP capable/compliant? 80878AA1-18A7-4AA1-A101-71E745813F00



I went through QMerit’s online onboarding/estimate process, which I take to be inexact so grain of salt and all, and it’s estimator spit out that my available local rebate is $900 not $1200, which difference occurs based on whether the charger doesn’t or does have OCPP compatibility

While I don’t take the estimator to be gospel, I do hope someone at Qmerit might have a handle on this OCPP issue given that they are Ford’s preferred installer for Fleet residential - which context requires the FCSP to communicate with Ford’s telemetrics software.

Good afternoon all. Both the Ford Charge Station Pro and Ford Connected Charge Station are indeed OCPP compliant. We hope this clears up any uncertainty. Thank you for your questions, patience, and understanding as it helps us improve as an organization.

I mean, thanks for answering this question but it's been five months since the last post on this thread. I'm sure I speak for others when I say I welcome official input. I wish you'd participate more.

I had a few thoughts on how this. I would say it's unlikely it wasn't OCPP 1.6J compliant and the way to check would be to find out the Ford servers it was connecting to. Most likely us wss secure protocol. At this point one could decide if redircecting that traffic to you own OCCP server would work

I've yet to setup the Ford Pro charger and from what I've gathered Ford is not sharing charge logs and therefore it would be difficult for me to get the off hour discount in electricity.

Thoughts or corrections welcome

Keep it in the box and sell it, recently I read a new promotion from National Grid about how they will handle charging incentives, particularly where the vehicle platform [FORD] is not an approved vehicle, our only choice is to use specific third party EVSE vendors that fit their "Charge Smart" program

Yeah, not so happy with Ford not sharing the logs. Makes me in no hurry to put the TCU fuse back in! :)
