Questions about switching from ChargePilot
Usually, yes. The charger connects to Plugchoice, and Plugchoice can pass every message on to ChargePilot, so ChargePilot can keep managing the load until you switch it off. A company that receives those messages for its own services needs an agreement with us, and without one we may stop passing them on after notice.
Edenred bought The Mobility House Solutions, which developed ChargePilot, on 3 August 2026. The business now trades as Edenred e-Mobility GmbH. Contracts, contacts and the Munich headquarters stayed the same.
Dynamic load balancing is part of Smart Charging and needs a meter. Smart Charging is €29 a year per AC socket, €89 for five years or €199 once. A DC socket counts three times. It also covers power sharing, solar balancing, dynamic tariffs and scheduled charging.
Chargers that speak OCPP 1.6J, depending on model, firmware and configuration. ChargePilot also supports OCPP 2.0.1.
Point each charger's OCPP address at wss://ocpp.plugchoice.com and add it in Plugchoice. Then add ChargePilot as its back office, and the charger reports to both. A charger whose maker locks the address cannot move.
