Plugchoice

← Chargers Sponsor token required

Chargers connected through Plugchoice can leverage its OCPP proxy functionality to establish a connection to other backoffices while maintaining full control through evcc. This allows seamless management of Plugchoice-registered chargers directly from evcc.

For improved meter readings, it is recommended to configure the following settings in the Plugchoice portal under the configuration tab:

Set MeterValueSampleInterval to 10 seconds (or another interval according to your preference).
Set MeterValuesSampledData to Energy.Active.Import.Register,Current.Offered,Current.Import,Voltage.

These adjustments enable more frequent and detailed reporting of charging data to evcc.

Supported features

Built-in meter: Support for an integrated meter. Availability may vary between models.
