Simplify, standardize and harmonize
The objective of the EVRoaming Foundation is to facilitate roaming services for charging electric vehicles and provide transparent information to consumers about charging locations and prices, by use of the open and independent Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol. The ultimate goal is to allow any EV driver to charge at any charging station in the EU: simplify, standardize and harmonize.
The EVRoaming Foundation manages and maintains the OCPI protocol and ensure its free availability. The foundation is not limited to OCPI and can also support other related activities and services.

EVRoaming Foundation publishes OCPI addition for disabled persons.
(Press release: OCPI Accessibility Extension)
The EVRoaming Foundation released the OCPI extension for the Location module of v2.3.0 and beyond with a data set for better informing disabled and less mobile EV drivers if they can use the charging infrastructure.
In 2025 a special OCPI Task Group worked on creating an additional data set that gives person better insight if there are certain barriers, specific usage support, usablity of the chargers, etc.. This group was sponsored by UK Office for Zero Emission Vehicles and the Motability Foundation and organization. Together with other members of the EVRoaming foundation (mentioned in the document), we created this extension.
It is now available via the OCPI download section: https://evroaming.org/ocpi-downloads/
