EVSE ID

Also called EVSEID · EVSE identifier

An EVSE ID is a structured identifier used to identify an individual EVSE across charging, roaming and billing systems.

It identifies the EVSE, rather than every connector attached to it. The commonly used e-mobility format contains a two-letter country code, a three-character operator identifier, the letter E and an operator-defined identifier for the EVSE.

Separators such as an asterisk can be used, for example GBABCE123456. In OCPI, the human-readable evse_id is separate from the EVSE's technical uid.

An EVSE can also contain several connector objects, but only one of those connectors can be used by that EVSE at a time.
