Charging Stations

How to connect and configure EV chargepoints with Edge. Most chargers connect via OCPP 1.6 over Ethernet. Some brands require alternative connection methods.

Which connection method?

Charger type	Protocol	Guide
Any OCPP 1.6 charger	WebSocket (Ethernet)	OCPP Setup
Ecotap master-slave	LMS protocol	Ecotap Setup
EVBox G2 / G3	RS485 (non-OCPP)	EVBox Setup
Peblar	Modbus TCP (non-OCPP)	Peblar Setup
Not listed	—	Request Integration

EVBox G2/G3 stations have no Ethernet interface, so RS485 is the only available connection method. Peblar chargepoints require a valid signed TLS certificate for OCPP over secure WebSocket, which Edge cannot provide as a local controller — Modbus TCP is used instead.
