Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and REST API control plane are easy to vibe-code, but fully emulating the strict OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 protocol specifications and EV state machines requires deep industry domain expertise.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a Go or Node.js WebSocket server managing stateful bi-directional communication matching OCPP 1.6-J and 2.0.1 specifications. The hardest component is accurately modeling the asynchronous charging state machine (transaction lifecycles, meter values, smart charging profiles, and fault simulations) to satisfy real-world CPMS/CSMS backends. It requires specialized knowledge of electric vehicle charging standards and automated protocol compliance test harnesses.
