Update an existing charger

PATCH 
/chargers/:id

Updates administrative and configuration properties of a charger. Does not modify runtime state or OCPP settings.

Use Cases:

  • Update charger location assignments when relocated
  • Modify charger metadata (name, description, tags)
  • Change max power limits for load management
  • Update maintenance schedules or notes
  • Adjust charger visibility or access controls

What Can Be Updated:

  • Administrative fields (name, location, metadata)
  • Power limits and operational constraints
  • Assignment to users, groups, or fleets
  • Access control and visibility settings

What Cannot Be Updated:

  • OCPP identity (set during registration)
  • Runtime status (controlled by charger)
  • Connector states (managed via OCPP commands)
  • Firmware version (updated via OCPP)

Best Practices:

  • Use OCPP commands for operational changes (availability, configuration)
  • Update metadata for reporting and dashboards
  • Coordinate location changes with physical relocation
