The Road software makes it very easy to configure charging stations in a short amount of time. Charge stations that are connected to the Road platform will appear on this page /charging-stations:

  • The charger needs to have a data connection via ethernet or sim card

  • It needs to be configured on the right APN settings with the right slug

There are different stages of setup:

  • Setup progress: Charger needs to be configured via the autowizard. This can be done by the admin or the installer.

  • Activation pending: Charger is ready for activation by the user/customer.

  • Completed: The charger has a customer, location, field service technician and subscription.

Setup by Admin

  1. Click on the OCPP ID of the charger

  2. Click on Auto Configuration

  3. The software will check the settings

  4. Click on ‘Fix All’ > the software will automatically reset the charger with the correct values

  5. Configure connectors: if available, the charger will auto-fill the information in these fields. Click on Save
