Continue readingCURRENT is a hardware agnostic Charge Point Management System, but what does that mean? It means CURRENT works with all electric vehicle (EV) chargers. CURRENT is a hardware agnostic system, that means it’ll work with any piece of hardware (relevant physical components) on the market. A hardware agnostic Charge Point Management System should work…
Continue readingLithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are cheaper to produce and more stable than traditional nickel-based chemistries. A new study from a Tesla-funded lab found that LFP batteries degrade faster when fully charged. Repeated charging at a higher state of charge increases negative reactions within a pack. Electric vehicles powered by lithium iron phosphate (LFP)…

Continue readingSince Åsmund Møll Frengstad founded CURRENT in 2014, we have played a crucial role in developing the industry standard, OCPP. As a result, it is natural for us to be among the first globally to receive certification when a new OCPP version is launched. Today, we are proud to announce that we are the…
Continue readingCar companies are migrating from CCS to Tesla’s charging standard, NACs, in order to get Supercharger access. Many charging stations still only support CCS, though. One report suggests Lucid will offer both ports during the transition period, rather than relying on adapters. Lucid has figured out a way to fix all of life’s charging…
