What is Zynka ONE?

ℹ️

Zynka ONE connects EV charging networks globally through OCPI roaming.

Zynka ONE is a unified, standards-compliant platform for EV-charging networks. It implements the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol and extends it with a Direct Payment module and India's Unified Payment Interface (UPI) to support app-less, roaming-friendly charging sessions.

Key Features​

  • Global Roaming: Connect chargers across networks through OCPI
  • App-less Payments: UPI integration for instant, QR-code payments
  • Real-time Analytics: Live dashboards and monitoring via Azure Event Hub
  • Enterprise-grade: Built on Azure Kubernetes Service with 99.9% uptime

Core Capabilities​

Inter-network Roaming​

OCPI enables Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) to exchange real-time information about locations, tariffs, and authentication tokens. The Commands module allows remote start/stop of sessions, giving drivers control over their charge from anywhere.

Rich Session Data​

When a charging session starts, the Session object captures start/end times, energy delivered, and tariffs. This data can be pushed to the eMSP and later sealed into a Charge Detail Record (CDR) for billing. OCPI's separation of "active session" and "CDR" ensures invoices reflect the state of the infrastructure at session start.

App-less Payments​

Zynka ONE integrates UPI to offer QR-code payments. Users can scan a code at the charger and pay directly from any UPI app without pre-loading wallets or maintaining special cards. The pre-payment amount is shown on the terminal and in the app, similar to petrol pumps.
