This guide provides a straightforward process for creating and configuring a charging station using the Wevolt Hub. It covers key steps, such as enabling load management and connecting the charger to the platform, ensuring optimal performance. By following this guide, users can quickly establish a fully operational charging station, enhancing their EV infrastructure with ease.
1. Login to Wevolt Hub
2. Navigate to "Charger Management" from sidebar menu
3. Click the "Create Station" button
4. Select the location if you have it. Otherwise, create a new location by clicking "Create New Location" button. And Click "Save and continue" to proceed
5. Next, a Charger ID will be automatically generated. This ID is the unique identifier for your charger and will also be printed on the device. You can edit to rename this ID. We recommend keeping it short and easy to recognize (e.g., WB234, RT6578), as users will search for and identify the charger in the Wevolt App using this ID.
Click Save and Continue to proceed
6. Configure the OCPP URL in your charger so it can connect back to the platform
To bring your charger online in Wevolt Hub, you must enter the OCPP WebSocket URL shown in Wevolt Hub into your charger’s backend/OCPP settings.
6a. Use the exact OCPP WebSocket URL displayed in Wevolt Hub under your charger.
This URL is automatically generated for your tenant and charger ID.
Important: Copy and paste the full URL exactly as shown. Do not modify, shorten, or rename the URL.6b. Secure vs Unsecure WebSocket – Which One Should I Select?
- Secure WebSocket (wss://)
Use this option if your charger supports SSL/TLS.- This is the recommended setting for most setups and is required for higher OCPP security profiles.
- Unsecure WebSocket (ws://)
- Use this option only if your charger does not support wss:// or if the secure URL fails to connect.
- Some charger models—particularly older ones or those with limited firmware—only accept ws://.
6c. Where Do I Enter the OCPP URL on My Charger?
Every charger brand labels this field differently.
Common names include:
Server URL
Backend URL
OCPP Central System
OCPP WebSocket
Central System Address
OCPP Server Location
7. Once the connection is established, you will see it as Online
8. Click "Run" to run connection test
9. Once the test is successful, proceed by clicking "Save and make charging station available"
10. Attach a charger with a licance by clicking "Assign" button and then click "Save and Continue" button to proceed
11. Select Tariff profile for the charger and click "Save and continue" button.
12. And that’s it — your charger is now created, connected, and ready to use in Wevolt Hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which OCPP URL should I use?
Always use the URL displayed in Wevolt Hub under your charger.
Copy it exactly as shown.
2. My charger doesn’t accept the secure wss:// URL. What should I do?
Switch to the ws:// (unsecure) option.
Some chargers or older firmware versions only accept unsecure sockets.
3. Where do I find where to enter the URL on my charger?
Check your charger’s manual — each brand uses different terminology such as Backend URL, Central System, or OCPP Server.
4. Why is my charger still offline after entering the URL?
Check the following
- Charger has a stable internet connection
- Correct URL was pasted in full
- WebSocket format (wss:// or ws://) matches the charger’s capability
- Charger supports OCPP 1.6 JSON
- Changes were saved/applied
- Charger was restarted (required by many models)

Yes. Extended commissioning assistance is available as an optional service for $250 + GST, which includes 90 minutes of support. If you require commissioning support, you can submit a request here.
6. Who Should Perform OCPP Commissioning?
No. Wevolt can verify and assist with Hub-level connectivity, but charger hardware settings must be adjusted by the installer.
