6.2 Adding Chargers

Guide to Adding Chargers to Your Site Area

Add Chargers in VEV-IQ

Chargers can be added directly to a site area or through the charging stations tab
Method 1: Adding a Charger via 'Site Area'
This method ensures the charger inherits all site limitations, such as load management settings

Access Site Areas

  • Go to 'Organisations' from the menu
  • Select the 'Site Areas' tab
Add a Charger
  • Click the edit button next to the site area
  • Choose 'Copy OCPP URL' or 'Connect a Charging Station', depending on your previous actions
  • Confirm by selecting 'Yes' to create a registration token
  • Copy the URL into the OEM portal to assign the charger to the site area and establish an OCPP connection
Method 2: Adding a Charger via 'Charging Stations'
This method is useful if the charger's site area is not yet determined. The charger will default to its manufacturer settings
Access Charging Stations
  • Go to 'Charging Stations' from the menu
  • Select the 'Onboard New Station' tab
  • Click 'Create'
Add Details
  • Enter a description and, if known, the site area
  • Click 'Save'
Establish Connection
  • Copy the URL provided and paste it into the OEM portal to establish an OCPP connection
  • Chargers are always added against a site area. You can add these in two ways: directly to the site area or within the charging stations tab
