Several back offices on one charger.
The charger connects once, to the Plugchoice proxy. Plugchoice can take every role itself, or you add the back office the charger already has and any other, each with its own role. Switch one off and the charger stays online. Free on every account.
What you get
Choose your back office
A back office that is not in the list connects with its websocket URL, as long as it speaks OCPP 1.6J. See the integration list
