Troubleshooting

Did you set everything up correctly, but the charger still remains "Pre-registered"?

  • The chargepoint ID must exactly match the Charge Point Identity.

  • Check the hostname and port 80 for typos, and leave the path empty (the old v1 path is gone).

  • Release the emergency stop button after configuring.

  • Reboot the charger after saving.
