Commercial chargers

A commercial charger is designed for public charging networks and business operators: set charging prices, monitor usage, and generate revenue from public charging sessions. Commercial chargers belong to a location, whose pricing, idle fee, and visibility settings apply to them (see Creating a location).

Adding a commercial charger

Commercial chargers are added under their location: Charge Points → your location → Chargers → Add Charger, then connected over OCPP. The full connection walkthrough is in Adding a charger.

Managing commercial chargers

The Commercial chargers tab lists every OCPP-connected commercial charger across your locations: charge box ID and alias, location, serial, brand and model, plugs with live per-plug status, total kWh, sessions, revenue, and status (Open, Offline, Closed, Out of order, Registering).

Each charger's action menu covers day-to-day operations: Edit, Reboot, Toolkit (see OCPP Toolkit), Download logs, Download QR codes, View charger insights, and Delete. The same list and actions are also available per location under the location's Chargers tab: see Charge points.

Pricing

Drivers pay the location's price (fixed, time-based custom pricing, or a dynamic price profile). Pricing is configured on the location, not on the individual charger: see Creating a location and Price Profiles.

Common questions

How do drivers pay at a commercial charger? Through the app at your location's price, or by card at chargers with a payment terminal (see Payment terminals).

Where do I set the price? On the charger's location: the default price, time-based custom pricing, or a price profile.

How do I take a commercial charger out of service temporarily? Use Change availability in the OCPP Toolkit for a single plug, or Reboot/Edit from the charger's action menu. See Charge points for the status meanings.
