EV charging software firm Pionix will provide its EVerest open-source software stack to DC fast charging hardware manufacturer Tritium, with first chargers running the EVerest-based software on track for delivery to customers in summer 2026. EVerest offers a modular software architecture separating hardware drivers from application logic, with key charging protocols already implemented and tested, including OCPP compliance certification through other vendor integrations and Plug and Charge pre-certification as a stack through Hubject. Tritium is adopting EVerest to focus internal engineering on hardware development, field reliability and customer-specific integrations while building on an open-source software foundation for charging protocols and interoperability.

Why it matters: The partnership signals a shift in the DC fast charging supply chain, with hardware manufacturers outsourcing protocol software to open-source platforms, potentially accelerating interoperability and reducing certification timelines for CPOs procuring Tritium units. Pre-certified OCPP and Plug and Charge capabilities through EVerest may lower integration risk and speed deployment for fleet and public charging operators.

MFG has deployed Plug and Charge technology in partnership with Hubject across its UK charging network, according to electrive.com. The rollout enables automatic authentication and payment for electric vehicle drivers without requiring apps or RFID cards. The implementation uses Hubject's ISO 15118 based system to streamline the charging experience at MFG sites.

Why it matters: Plug and Charge adoption by a major UK forecourt operator signals growing infrastructure maturity and improved user experience, potentially influencing procurement specifications for public charging tenders. The Hubject partnership demonstrates how interoperability standards are becoming commercially viable for charge point operators seeking competitive advantage.
