I have a minor note about channel type, beside that its OK.

A minor note, we represent read only channel with controllable switch. From OH philosophy point of view we should create a contact channel (we miss such type for now) with item-type=contact and command it with OpenClosedType.

OCPP 1.6 has no plug-presence message. Automation that needs to know whether an EV is plugged in has to interpret the raw chargePointStatus string itself. New read-only `cableConnected` Switch channel derives it: ON for Preparing/Charging/SuspendedEV/SuspendedEVSE/Finishing, OFF for Available/Unavailable/Faulted/Reserved. Updated on every StatusNotification. Verified against Wallbox Copper SB / Pulsar Plus and Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3xxx: cable plug → ON at Preparing, unplug → OFF at Available.

Per review: a read-only derived value was modeled with a controllable Switch channel-type. Add a generic reusable "contact" channel-type (item-type=Contact, readOnly) alongside the existing switch/number/string primitives and repoint cableConnected at it. CLOSED mirrors the physical pilot circuit — plugging in the cable closes it — OPEN otherwise.
