# ev-simulator

## Summary

Simple [node.js](https://nodejs.org/) program to simulate a set of charging stations based on the OCPP-J 1.6 protocol.

## Configuration syntax

All configuration files are in the JSON standard format.  

The program's global configuration parameters must be within the src/assets/config.json file. A configuration template file is available at [src/assets/config-template.json](src/assets/config-template.json).

All charging station templates are in the directory [src/assets/station-templates](src/assets/station-templates).

A list of RFID tags must be defined for the automatic transaction generator with the default location and name src/assets/authorization-tags.json. A template file is available at [src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json](src/assets/authorization-tags-template.json).
