Commissioning
EV charger commissioning is the process of configuring, testing and verifying installed charging equipment before it is handed over for operation. It confirms that the charger, electrical installation and connected services behave as intended. Commissioning can include electrical checks, charger configuration, network connectivity, OCPP connection, payment or RFID tests, load-management setup and confirmation that remote monitoring works. A structured commissioning record reduces later troubleshooting because installers and support teams know which settings, firmware versions and site measurements were present at handover.
