Register a new charger (minimal info)

POST 
/chargers/

Registers a new charger with basic information, typically before its first OCPP connection.

Use Cases:

  • Pre-register chargers during installation or provisioning
  • Create charger records before deployment to assign locations
  • Import charger inventory from spreadsheets or vendor systems
  • Prepare charger configurations before physical installation
  • Set up charger metadata for fleet management dashboards

Registration Workflow:

  • Most chargers auto-register on first OCPP connection (recommended)
  • Manual registration useful for pre-configuration and assignment
  • Charger must boot and connect via OCPP to become fully operational
  • OCPP connection updates charger with firmware, status, and capabilities

Best Practices:

  • Use manufacturer's charger ID as ocppIdentity for consistency
  • Assign locationId during registration for easier fleet organization
  • Set maxPower to match charger's rated capacity for load balancing
  • Manual registration optional - auto-registration handles most scenarios
