Technical Introduction to EVerest: The Operating System for EV Charging Infrastructure
summary
Everest is an operating system for EV chargers that runs on tiny embedded Linux boards under Apache 2.0 and implements ISO 15118 (including Plug & Charge) and OCPP 1.6/2.0.1. It composes functionality as module-per-process over MQTT with interfaces described in YAML, supports C++, Python, JavaScript and Java modules, and swaps protocol implementations (Java → Python → C++) without changing config. It provides drivers for power meters, RFID, relays, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and already runs on Raspberry Pi CM4 and NXP Sitara boards.
