EV charging network migration is the process of moving your existing EV chargers from their current charging station management system (CSMS) or network provider to a new platform like EV Connect’s.

Most migrations are completed within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the number and type of chargers, hardware compatibility and data transfer needs. EV Connect minimizes disruption by performing much of the work remotely and scheduling any on-site activity during off-peak hours.

In many cases, yes—especially if your chargers are OCPP-compliant and on supported firmware. We assess hardware compatibility up front and recommend whether to reuse your chargers as-is, update firmware and configuration or replace them if necessary.

Most drivers won’t notice any disruption. We schedule migrations during off-peak hours, perform remote updates whenever possible, and send technicians onsite only when needed. Each batch of chargers typically takes about 15 minutes to migrate, minimizing overall downtime.

It depends on what your current provider makes available. Where data export is possible, we’ll work with you to bring over key elements such as user accounts, tariffs and usage history. If data access is restricted, we’ll help you design a clear transition plan so drivers and site hosts understand the change.

No. While we certainly help customers when a CSMS or network is being sunsetted, many organizations choose to migrate proactively—for reasons including higher uptime, more robust features, better support or greater long-term flexibility. We’re happy to help in either scenario.

We work with charge point operators, utilities, fleet managers and all kinds of commercial property owners (e.g., retail, restaurant, workplace, hospitality, multifamily)—some with only a few chargers, and others with large regional or multi-state deployments.
