Firmware management, across every brand you run

900+ supported models, 250+ brands, OCPP-native

Most operators run a mix of brands, models, and firmware versions across their network. 
Monta tracks what’s outdated, tests every release before it ships, and lets you push updates on your terms — one place instead of a hundred small decisions.

OPERATOR CONTROL

You decide. Monta never pushes firmware on its own. 

Every update passes through three roles before it reaches your chargers.
1

Manufacturer

The manufacturer develops the firmware and provides it, along with its release notes. The firmware itself is theirs.

2

Monta

Monta tests every release, manages its rollout to the right models, and gives you the tooling to act.

3

Operator

You, as operator, decide what to install and when. You trigger the update.

Firmware tools

What you can do in Monta

Turn firmware updates from a risk into a routine

Every firmware is tested before it reaches your fleet

Charge point compatibility is a key driver of charge success across the network. Our best-performing models reach 97%+ charge success rate, and the method for calculating charge success rate, uptime, and model rank is published openly. Behind those numbers sits a dedicated hardware and testing team and a long-established testing program.

Every release re-tested

New firmware runs through the same process as a new hardware model, tested against a known configuration and the full OCPP and Monta feature set.

Network intelligence

Worried about a firmware update? Ask the network

Dialogue box with the question "Should we upgrade this station's firmware?" and a loading indicator stating "Reviewing firmware data..."

Monta AI digests data from 3M+ monthly charging sessions across 300K+ connected charging stations. Before you roll a firmware out, you can ask Monta AI how that version is performing in the field: its charge success rate across the network, where it has been deployed, and what changed.

It turns a firmware decision from a guess into a question with an answer.

FAQs

This is hardware-specific. Not every brand and model among Monta’s 900+ supported charging stations accepts remote firmware updates and shares files with Monta; today around 145 models are supported with fully managed updates. Whether remote updates are possible comes down to the manufacturer’s OCPP firmware implementation. Fully managed updates also require manufacturer collaboration with Monta.

Every release is re-tested against the full OCPP and Monta feature matrix before it goes live. A dedicated hardware and testing engineering team runs the program, with daily exchange and shared test reports with major manufacturers.

No. Monta blocks firmware updates on charging stations that are currently charging, so an active session is never cut short by an update. You also see each station’s live status before you update, so you always know what’s free and what’s busy.

After an update, Monta re-applies the brand configuration and your operator overrides if any settings shifted during the update, so your charging stations come back set up the way you intended.

Yes. Firmware delivery on Monta aligns with the OCPP security standards, including the OCPP 1.6 Security Whitepaper (signed updates) and OCPP 2.0.1 support.

Failed updates surface in the Firmware Updates screen, in the Update progress column. You can retry the update from there. If it keeps failing, the next step is the charging station manufacturer, since firmware is developed and maintained by them.

Monta can make a problematic firmware unavailable for triggering across the platform, which stops any further installs. It does not roll back stations that already updated. Because of the consent model, rollback of individual stations is handled by you; for a wider rollback, the same tooling can be used, with you triggering it.

Yes. You host and install a manufacturer-provided firmware file yourself and run an update on a single charging station today. Bulk roll-out of operator-hosted files across many stations is coming soon.

Firmware as a managed system

Hardware-agnostic, OCPP-native, tested in-house, and backed by network-wide intelligence on every push. You stay in control of every install. Monta handles everything around it.
