Moving a single Charging Station
- Go to the Charge Station
- Select "Edit"
- Go to the "Location" tab
- In "Location Name," select a target location. The wizard will indicate whether the location already exists or is new
- Click "Save" to finalize the changes
It is possible to move a Charging station to another Location within the same tenant.
Afterwards the history of changes will be visible in the Details section.
Batch Moving Charge Station
To move multiple Charge Stations, you can use the Charge Station Importer tool: Charge Station Importer.
Alternatively, it is possible to use the in-Portal tool
Step 1: Select Charge Stations
In the Charge Stations table, select the desired Charge Stations. From the dropdown menu in the top-right corner, click 'Move Charge Station to new Location'
Step 2: Select the CPO Network, Contract and CPO
- CPO Network is pre-selected to ‘GreenFlux CPO Network’ and should in most scenarios be the only option.
- A CPO Contract is usually setup when operating in multiple countries. Changing the CPO contract can change the EVSE-IDs.
- Select the target CPO
- Select the target Location
CPO Contract validation
A CPO contract is typically created when an organization has assets in multiple countries or requires a separate network for other reasons. Most single-country organizations operate with just one CPO Contract.
Migrating across CPO Contracts can lead to EVSE-ID changes with significant consequences. This action is non-reversible.
Since the initial Location is soft-deleted and Locations can be duplicated, moving back requires manual work—a situation that should be avoided.
Prerequisites and known limitations
Duplicate locations
Each location address must be unique within a CPO. If you attempt to move a location to a CPO where the exact address already exists, the migration will fail. Note: The EvPortal currently does not display a specific error code for this situation.
CPO Custom Group
Custom groups can be created under both the 'Master group' and a CPO. When a Location moves between CPOs, its existing CPO-level Custom Group becomes invalid.
Custom groups under the Master group level will be migrated.
Users will receive a warning if a Custom Group is part of a Location.
QR code for CPO Contract migration
During a CPO Contract migration, the EVSE ID changes because the three-letter CPO Contract ID (e.g., NL-XXX) is modified.
As a result, existing QR codes will no longer link to the correct EVSE-ID.
Contact GreenFlux Support or CSM to perform a manual QR code refresh.
