Guide · Moving to ChargeIT

Moving your network to ChargeIT.

What each charger needs, how the move goes, and what to have ready.

A move to ChargeIT starts with your chargers and ends with drivers charging under your rules.

What each charger needs

Moving a network is mostly about the chargers. Each one needs three things:

  1. OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1, so it can connect to ChargeIT as its central system.
  2. Internet at the charger, through a SIM card or the site’s network.
  3. Firmware that supports the features you want, such as smart charging for load balancing.

The models on our hardware page are tested. Other chargers connect after a compatibility check: send us the brand and model.

How the move goes

  1. Book a demo and tell us about your chargers, your sites and your business.
  2. Your organisation is set up on ChargeIT, with your customers and site owners below it.
  3. Your prices, access by RFID tag or app, load balancing and roaming are set per site and per charger.
  4. Each charger is pointed at ChargeIT, in its own settings or its installer’s tool. It connects, and appears in the console with its connectors and live status.
  5. Drivers charge with the ChargeIT app, your own branded app or their RFID tags.

What to have ready

  • A list of your chargers: brand, model, firmware and OCPP version.
  • For each site: the connection limit, and the site meter if there is one.
  • Your customers and site owners, and how money flows between them: who collects drivers’ payments, who invoices whom and who receives payouts.
  • Your own payment and invoicing providers, if you want to keep them.
  • Whether you roam today, and as CPO, eMSP or both.

Your data

On ChargeIT, your data stays yours: customers can export their own data whenever they want, including if they move to another provider.
