MobiFLO · charge point management software

The CPMS that
publishes its price.

Charge point management software for operators, resellers and installers — any OCPP charger, any brand, under your own name. Ask five vendors what a CPMS costs and you will get five "let's arrange a call". Here is ours, on the page: € 0 per charge point for its first 30 months, € 3 per month after.

What a CPMS actually has to do

A charge point management system is the software between your chargers and your money. If it cannot do these seven things, it is a dashboard, not a CPMS — and you will discover the difference in month two, when the first customer asks for an invoice.

1. Speak OCPP to anything

OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 to any brand on the wall — Alfen, Zaptec, Easee, Wallbox, ABB, Garo. A platform that only manages its own manufacturer's hardware is a lock-in strategy wearing a software badge.

2. Bill correctly, per kWh

MID-metered sessions, automatic invoices, VAT handled per country. Reselling electricity without MID metering is not a feature gap, it is a legal one.

3. Carry your brand

Operator console and driver app in your name, your colours, your domain. Your customer should never meet your supplier.

4. Price flexibly

Per-kWh, per-minute, idle fees, member rates, badge groups, time bands. Your commercial model should not be limited by someone else's tariff engine.

5. Roam

OCPI 2.2.1 and Hubject, so other networks' drivers can charge at your sockets and yours can charge elsewhere. Roaming is where a private network becomes a business.

6. Manage load

Dynamic load management across a site so twenty sockets live on a connection sized for eight — the difference between a project and a grid-upgrade quote.

7. Let you leave

Open OCPP both ways and an export of your own session history. Ask every vendor what leaving costs and what breaks. The answer tells you what the relationship really is.

Four checks between the internet and your chargers.

In September 2026 the Open Charge Alliance — the organisation behind OCPP — published version 2 of its Security Operations Guide, its operational security guidance for OCPP platforms. We checked MobiFLO against it, requirement by requirement. This is what now stands between the internet and your chargers.

  1. Encrypted

    TLS 1.3 by default. Unencrypted connections and outdated TLS versions are refused before a charger can say a word.

    SEC-0004 · SEC-0206
  2. Identified

    Every charger signs in with its own credential (OCPP Security Profile 2). Credentials expire, rotate and can be revoked one charger at a time.

    SEC-0178
  3. Validated

    Every message a charger sends is checked against a strict schema. Anything malformed or unexpected is rejected, not guessed at.

    SEC-0030
  4. Authorised

    Firmware, certificates and configuration can only be changed by administrators — enforced on the server, not by hiding a button.

    SEC-0174 · SEC-0188

Separately, each operator’s chargers, sessions and billing are kept apart from every other operator’s. Requirement numbers refer to the OCA Security Operations Guide v2.0.

What it costs

The charging software market quotes on request, which is how € 3–6 per socket per month becomes normal without anyone comparing it. Ours is published because it survives being compared.

Larger estates add a single SLA covering hosting, monitoring, roaming and support on top of the per-charge-point rate — the published operator-programme SLA is € 2.600 per month for the first three years and € 3.800 thereafter, agreed in writing against the size of your fleet. The two lines stack; neither replaces the other.

Why the clock exists — and why it resets

Electronics age. Firmware moves on, OCPP quirks appear, and more of the monitoring and fault-handling falls to the platform. Thirty months covers the window in which a charge point runs nearly support-free; the € 3 afterwards covers the attention an older unit needs.

Because a replacement charger starts a fresh window, the fee quietly rewards keeping your estate current instead of penalising you for growing it. That is the opposite of a per-socket licence, which charges you most precisely when you succeed.

What the market charges

Per-socket CPMS fees in Europe typically run € 2–8 per charge point per month, often with a platform base fee and sometimes a percentage of revenue on top. Across 100 charge points at € 4, that is € 4.800 a year before you have sold a kilowatt-hour — and it grows precisely as you do.

Who runs it

Charge point operators

You own sites and sell charging. MobiFLO runs the estate, prices it, bills it and roams it, under your brand. If you are starting from zero, the operator programme packages 250 chargers, the platform, a branded driver app and roaming with financing.

Resellers & installers

You fit chargers for other people. The platform costs you € 0 per charge point for its first 30 months and € 3 after; whatever you bill your customer for management above that is margin — a monthly line on a business that was one-off hardware revenue.

Businesses & property owners

You have a car park and an obligation. Badge groups, per-group tariffs, home-charging reimbursement for company cars and one payroll-ready statement a month — the four payment flows on one platform.

Already on another platform?

Anything that speaks OCPP moves by changing one setting on the charger — the backend URL. No rip-out, no new hardware, and your RFID cards keep working because the tokens come across with them.

SituationWhat it means for you
Your platform provider has stopped tradingIt happens more than the industry likes to admit. A stranded charger is usually still a working OCPP device, but someone has to reach its configuration and repoint it — which is why in practice most operators who could switch already have, and a fair number of orphaned units were simply decommissioned instead.
Your provider was acquired by a competitorConsolidation has been rapid: several formerly independent platforms now sit inside groups that also issue charge cards. If your supplier now competes with you for the same driver, that is a commercial position, not a technical detail.
You are paying per socket and growingThe per-socket model charges you most when you succeed. Every charge point you migrate runs at € 0 for its first 30 months here.
Your chargers are another brandFine. OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 are the requirement, not our badge — Alfen, Zaptec, Wallbox, Easee, Garo, ABB and most commercial hardware sold in Europe in the last decade.

Chargers under two years old migrate free of licence cost for 30 months; older units still connect at standard per-socket pricing. Full terms on the migration page.

FOR INSTALLERS & OPERATORS

Add a charge card in seconds, at the charger

Every e-flo PRO supports a master key card. Hold the master key to the reader, take it away, then hold the card you want to authorise to the reader — it is written to the charger's local whitelist straight away. Present the master key again and tap a card that already has access to remove it.

No laptop, no site visit and no back-office ticket. It keeps working with the charger offline, because the whitelist lives on the charger itself.

Managed at the unit
Handing a site over needs no engineer — whoever owns it adds and removes cards themselves.
Works offline
The whitelist is stored on the charger, so access changes never wait on a connection.
Cannot start a session
A master key only manages permissions. It can never start a charging session itself.

Questions people actually ask

What does charge point management software cost?

On MobiFLO, € 0 per charge point for its first 30 months and € 3 per charge point per month afterwards, with a replacement charger starting a fresh 30-month window. The driver app, roaming, load management and billing are included rather than priced as modules. Across the European market, per-socket CPMS fees typically run € 2–8 per charge point per month, frequently with a platform base fee and sometimes a percentage of revenue as well — but most vendors quote on request rather than publishing, which makes comparison difficult by design.

What is the difference between a CPMS and an eMSP platform?

A CPMS (charge point management system) manages the hardware: it speaks OCPP to the chargers, controls tariffs and load, and produces the session records. An eMSP platform manages the driver: charge cards, the app, roaming access to other networks and the driver's invoice. Most operators need both, and running them on one platform means a session is seen once, billed once and reconciled once. MobiFLO is both in a single tenant.

Can I use it with chargers I already own?

Yes, if they speak OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1 — which covers most commercial hardware sold in Europe in the last decade, including Alfen, Zaptec, Easee, Wallbox, Garo and ABB. Migration is a change to the charger's backend URL, done remotely on most fleets in minutes. Chargers tied to a closed proprietary cloud with no OCPP mode cannot be migrated to any platform, ours included.

Our current platform shut down. Are our chargers dead?

Often not — a charger whose platform has stopped trading is usually still a working OCPP device waiting to be told where to connect. The catch is practical: someone has to reach the charger's configuration to change the backend URL, and if the vendor portal is gone that means physical or local access. Where that is possible the charger is typically back online within 30 seconds of its first message. Be realistic though: by the time a platform has been dark for a while, most operators who could move have moved, and units without support are often retired rather than recommissioned.

Is there a white-label option for resellers?

Yes, and it is the normal case rather than a premium tier. The operator console and the driver app carry your name, your colours and your domain; your customer never sees e-flo or MobiFLO unless you want them to. What you charge your customer for management is entirely yours to set — see the reseller economics.

Do I need a subscription to use an e-flo charger at all?

No. The charger works standalone: two RFID cards are included that start and stop charging with no account, no app and no backend. The platform is for the moment you want to manage several chargers, bill someone for the electricity, or let other people's drivers use them.

Does it handle roaming and OCPI?

Yes — OCPI 2.2.1 and Hubject, in both directions. Your charge points become visible and usable to other networks' drivers, and your own drivers can charge on networks you have agreements with. Roaming is what turns a private estate into a network with revenue from people you have never met.

What does CPMS mean in EV charging?

CPMS stands for Charge Point Management System, and is used interchangeably with charge point management software. It is the server side of a charging setup: the charger handles the power and the safety, and the CPMS handles everything around it — authorising who may charge, starting and stopping sessions remotely, reading meter values, producing billable records, monitoring faults, applying load limits across a site, and pushing firmware. A charger can run without one; what you lose is remote control, billing and any view across more than one unit. It is distinct from an eMSP platform, which serves drivers rather than charge points.

What is OCPP software, and what does an OCPP server do?

OCPP is the Open Charge Point Protocol, the open standard a charger speaks to whatever manages it. “OCPP software” almost always means the server half of that conversation — also called an OCPP backend, back office or CSMS. The charger opens a WebSocket to it and reports in; the server answers with authorisation decisions, remote start and stop, charging profiles for load management, and configuration changes. Because the protocol is open, an OCPP-compliant charger can be moved between backends without replacing the hardware. MobiFLO speaks OCPP 1.6J and OCPP 2.0.1, and manages chargers of any brand that speak either.

Is there free or open-source OCPP software?

Yes, and they are worth knowing about. SteVe is a Java OCPP server, open source since 2013, implementing OCPP 1.6J including the security extensions. CitrineOS is an LF Energy project built around OCPP 2.0.1 which added OCPP 1.6 support in its 1.6.0 release. Both are genuinely open source and both are a reasonable choice if you have engineers. What you take on is hosting, security patching, upgrades, uptime and support — and neither arrives with roaming, settlement or a driver app, so those you build or buy. MobiFLO is not open source. It is € 0 per charge point for that charge point’s first 30 months and € 3 per charge point per month afterwards: a commercial price that happens to start at zero, which is a different thing from open-source software you host yourself. It is worth being clear which of the two you are choosing.

What is a white-label EV charging back office?

A back office that carries your name instead of the vendor’s. On MobiFLO that means the operator console, the driver app on iOS and Android, the invoices and the session receipts all appear under the operator’s own brand and colours, while the platform underneath is shared. Resellers and installers use it to turn a one-off hardware sale into a recurring line billed by them, under their own name, with no revenue share going back to e-flo. The charge points can be any OCPP brand, not only e-flo hardware.
