Chargepoint ID explained

What's a chargepoint ID and how to find it.

Updated this week

The chargepoint ID is the name of the charger with which it connects to a backoffice. Basically, it's the charger saying "Hey, this is me!" to our platform.

As such, you must know the chargepoint ID in order to find it.

A chargepoint ID is also sometimes called:

  • Chargepoint Identity

  • OCPP ID

  • CSMS ID

  • Charger Number


How to find the chargepoint ID?

It's usually just the serial number of your charger.

Volt Time chargers identities are "VT_[serial number]". So if the serial number is 0001234, the chargepoint ID is "VT_0001234".

If you want to be sure, check the documentation of your charger or ask the seller.
