Chargepoint ID explained

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

The chargepoint ID is the name a charger uses when it connects to a backoffice. It is how the charger tells our platform which charger it is.

You need the chargepoint ID to find a charger in Plugchoice.

A chargepoint ID is also sometimes called:

  • Chargepoint Identity

  • OCPP ID

  • CSMS ID

  • Charger Number


How to find the chargepoint ID?

It is usually the serial number of your charger.

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

For a charger that is already in Plugchoice: in the app, go to Chargers > Settings and look at Chargepoint ID. In the web portal, it is in the Chargepoint ID column under Chargers.

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