# ChargePoint

> Connect ChargePoint to KODE OS for electric vehicle charging data

> Connect ChargePoint to KODE OS for electric vehicle charging data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect ChargePoint EV charging to KODE OS. Discovery and REST polling bring live station status, sessions, and operational details into the platform for portfolio oversight.

| Property            | Value                     |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- |
| **System Type**     | Electric Vehicle Charging |
| **Communication**   | REST                      |
| **Collection**      | Pull                      |
| **Collection Mode** | SNAPSHOT                  |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data
* Collect Non-Sensor Data

## Prerequisites

* An active account with ChargePoint and access to their API or developer portal
* KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

### Vendor Onboarding References

Use these official vendor resources to verify API access, credentials, and permission prerequisites:

* [ChargePoint API services endpoint](https://webservices.chargepoint.com/webservices/chargepoint/services/4.1)

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **ChargePoint**
3. Click **+ Add Datasource**
4. Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow

| Field    | Required | Type | Description                                         |
| -------- | -------- | ---- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Room** | No       | text | The specific room this connector is associated with |

## Discover Devices and Points

After configuring the connector, click **Discover** on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the ChargePoint system and return a list of available devices and their data points.

Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS.

For more details on the discovery process, see the [Discovery guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## Devices and Points

When you discover devices from ChargePoint, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:

### EV Charging Station

Canonical Type: `chargingStation`

| # | Point        | Description                                                              | Unit | Writable | Ontology Field       | Collection |
| - | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---- | -------- | -------------------- | ---------- |
| 1 | `Reservable` | **True** -- Reservable is active / **False** -- Reservable is not active | --   | No       | --                   | Polling    |
| 2 | `Voltage`    | Voltage reading (V)                                                      | V    | No       | `run_voltage_sensor` | Polling    |
| 3 | `Current`    | Electrical current reading (A)                                           | A    | No       | `run_current_sensor` | Polling    |
| 4 | `Power`      | Current power reading (kW)                                               | kW   | No       | `run_power_sensor`   | Polling    |
| 5 | `AVAILABLE`  | Current charger availability status                                      | --   | No       | --                   | Polling    |

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series readings including Reservable, Voltage, Current, Power, AVAILABLE, collected at regular intervals from connected devices

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 1 hours)
* **ChargePointAlarms** -- Default polling: 1 days (min: 1 days, max: 1 days)
* **ChargePointSessions** -- Default polling: 1 days (min: 1 days, max: 1 days)

For more details on collection modes, see the [Data Collection guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/data-collection).

## Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:

* Monitor EV charger availability, session data, and energy delivered
* Track charging revenue and utilization across stations
* Generate reports on EV infrastructure usage and demand patterns

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Authentication or connection error">
    Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Double-check all credential fields match the values from the ChargePoint platform.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the ChargePoint system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data collection stops or gaps appear">
    Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the ChargePoint API.
