Welcome everyone - let's step right into 2023!

May this upcoming year be extraordinarily successful for you personally and be at least as powerful for EVerest as last year has been.

Let’s have a short glance in the rearview mirror to see the EVerest achievements of 2022 (with a few teasers for 2023). What could we create?

• OCPP 1.6 including all optional profiles and whitepapers is ready. OCPP 2.0.1 now on our implementation schedule already started end of last year.

• Basic Energy Management - even more sophisticated logic and strategies will follow.

• Further progress with standards: IEC61851 / SAE J1772 (PWM Charging), ISO15118-2 AC/DC with integrated SLAC mechanism

• Sunspec / Modbus implementation

• Autocharge

• End of year, we reached a special milestone regarding DC charging: We did some successful tests of our new bidirectional DC Charging implementation with different car models.

• Integrated Software-in-the-Loop testing with NodeRed

• A new UI application to show information about charging status etc

• Python support for rapidly implementing additional modules

• New Quick Start Guide and some improvements of the EVerest documentation - more to come in this field with some developer use cases and better structure for integration of modules documentation.
  
• And finally, last year as kind of a christmas present, we open-sourced a hardware reference design. This is yet another milestone for the EVerest community. Interested? Then rush right to the repository for further information: https://github.com/PionixPublic/reference-hardware

In 2023, EVerest will keep on driving on the quick lane.
