Can a EVBox charger be connected to a platform other than the manufacturer's?

Yes. The Elvi, BusinessLine Gen4 (Everon closed 1 Dec 2025) models speak standard OCPP and let you change the server URL. In the EVBox Connect app, over Bluetooth and in installer mode (with the security code from the box): Charging Management Platform → Different Backend URL.

Which OCPP URL do I enter on a EVBox for askacharge.com?

wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand, where your-brand is the brand identifier on askacharge.com; the charger appends its identity. The identity must match the one registered in the panel and the password stays blank unless the charger's OCPP credential has been enabled.

Do I lose the manufacturer's app when I set OCPP on a EVBox?

Some app functions move to the OCPP platform (start, cards, statistics). The hardware stays the same and you can go back by changing the URL again.

How to change the OCPP server URL on a EVBox charger (Elvi) and connect it to another platform

A EVBox charger that speaks standard OCPP can be connected to any platform by changing one setting. Here is where that setting lives on Elvi, BusinessLine Gen4 (Everon closed 1 Dec 2025), exactly what to enter, and where people usually get stuck. Written by a platform (askacharge.com), but the procedure works for any.

Where the setting lives

In the EVBox Connect app, over Bluetooth and in installer mode (with the security code from the box): Charging Management Platform → Different Backend URL.

Step by step

Firmware 425 or later: on earlier versions the charger's TLS certificate has expired and it will not negotiate wss://. Update from the app first.
Open EVBox Connect, pair over Bluetooth and write down the charger's modem number (EVB-P…): it is its OCPP identity. Enter the security code (shipped with the unit) and authorise.
Enter Installer Mode (it asks for the code again) → Charging Management Platform → Different Backend URL.
Enter your brand's base URL (below) → Save → Select. Save the configuration and restart the charger.
Register the EVB-P… in the panel as it is. If you are going to charge money, enable Activate using charge fob/key and disable Auto-start, or anyone will charge unauthorised.

What to enter to connect it to askacharge.com

OCPP server URL	`wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand` — your-brand is your brand's identifier on askacharge.com (shown under Chargers → Add, with the full URL ready to copy). The charger appends its own identity; if your unit only has a URL field and no identity field, enter the full URL: `…/ocpp/your-brand/identity`.
Charge point identity	The same one you register in the panel when adding the charger. Case-sensitive. With EVBox, the serial number is the easiest choice.
Password	Blank by default. If you enable the charger's OCPP credential in the panel (recommended for units exposed to the internet), the username is the identity and the password is the one the panel generates: OCPP Security Profile 2.
Protocol	OCPP 1.6J (JSON) or OCPP 2.0.1. Subprotocol `ocpp1.6` / `ocpp2.0.1`.
Before connecting	The charger must be registered in the brand with that identity; otherwise the server rejects the connection. Register under Chargers → Add.

Where it usually fails

Engie wound down EVBox and its Everon platform stopped serving on 1 December 2025. Nothing is broken in the chargers: they speak standard OCPP and work with any platform. This guide is the way out.
Without the security code from the box there is no installer mode. If you lost it, the original installer usually has it; otherwise ask the service Engie keeps for existing units.
If the charger was linked to Everon, unlink it in the app first or the URL reverts to the old one after a restart.

If your brand isn't here

The procedure is always the same; what changes is where the setting lives: look in the manufacturer's app, in the charger's web interface (by its IP) or in the installer software for a section called OCPP, Back office, Central System or Server. You need to be able to enter the URL and, nearly always, the identity. If the field is locked or missing, the manufacturer has tied the charger to its own platform: read what to do when the manufacturer locks or switches off its server.
