The development of the Open Charging Network is steered by community needs with the non-profit Energy Web Foundation curating the development.
For this purpose, transparency about the current feature set is required, which the following OCN maturity model (inspired by ) shall provide. The maturity model and the roadmap of the Open Charging Network development is discussed quarterly during the Share&Charge Foundation and Tech Call.
The maturity model is based on different categories (columns):
Messaging: How messages between OCN Parties are transmitted and secured
Service interfaces: Interfaces that can be used by OCN Parties to connect their services to the OCN
Connection & Community: Tools for the community to test and use the OCN
Maturity is indicated with different-sized black boxes or a heart:
Planned: Requirements are getting defined
Minimal: First implementations are tested
Viable: Can be used in production
Lovable: Functionality set is complete and used by community
A reference to the open source repositories is provided in parenthesis after the feature description.
