How to make your EV chargers public
MeCharge checks compatible stations, connects them to its CPO platform and guides service activation so they appear in the MeCharge app, with access, prices, charging and payments managed.
Try real charging with your account too, without a payment card or automatic trial renewal. Publication only follows contract signature and service activation.Quick answer
Can I publish my charger in an app?
Yes, if the charger is compatible and configurable. Simply adding an address to a map is not enough: for drivers to see availability and prices, start charging and pay in the app, the station must connect to a CPO platform.
MeCharge can connect compatible OCPP chargers, publish them in its app and, where covered by configuration and active agreements, make them available through interoperable service channels.
The first distinction
Being on a map does not mean being managed by the app
These are two different outcomes. Before choosing, understand which you want.
A charger can be public even in a private car park.
“Publicly accessible” concerns who can use it, not who owns the land. Hotels, shops, restaurants, companies and car parks can open the service to drivers under defined hours and conditions. Installation on roads or public land requires specific authorisations.
The operational process
From an installed charger to publication in the app
Make real charges during the trial using your account. The trial is separate from the public-service contract: connecting the station does not make it public.
Create the CPO area
Register free without a payment card. The registration form does not require the charger's brand, model or serial number.
Station guide and checks
Receive your organisation's prefix, ID and server address. Configure the internet-connected station, with your installer if needed; available functions depend on firmware.
Connection and trial
The station connects to the platform. Use the same account to try available commands and real charging, without publishing it. Electricity remains charged to your supply.
Contract and service configuration
When you choose to activate public charging, sign the contract. Configure access, prices and payment methods supported for your charger.
Checks and compliance
We check the data needed for publication and, for publicly accessible stations, the applicable PUN process.
Publication
After the contract and activation, manage your charger's public visibility yourself. It can appear in the MeCharge app and through partners enabled by Hubject agreements.
What you need
Information needed to check your charger
No technical knowledge needed: start with the brand, model or a photo of the label.
Brand and model
Needed to check protocol, firmware and available functions.
Access to configuration
The station must allow the management server to be set, directly or by a technician.
Internet connection
The charger needs reliable communication with the platform using its supported connectivity.
Location and users
Shop, hotel, car park, company or condominium determines access, prices and operational approach.
Who benefits
Even one charger can become a service
The process is tailored to the location, users and average parking time.

PUN, prices and accessibility
A publicly accessible station may be subject to information and operational obligations. MeCharge helps organise technical data and can prepare a bulk-upload JSON file for Italy's National Single Platform; each case still needs assessment according to location, power and service offered.
Frequently asked questions
Making a charger public: simple answers
How do I make my charger public?
Register free and follow the station connection guide. Try available functions and real charging with your account. Then sign the contract, configure access, prices and payments, and complete publication checks. Only after the contract and activation can you make the charger public.
Can I publish my charger in an app?
Yes, after connection and activation a compatible charger can appear in the MeCharge app. Where included in the service, it may also be available through active interoperable channels.
Is MeCharge an Italian operator?
Yes. MeCharge is a product of Stener S.r.l., an Italian company registered in Caserta. The platform connects and manages compatible chargers and activates agreed services.
Can I make my shop's or hotel's charger public?
This may be possible even in a private car park. Access, opening times, prices and applicable technical, administrative and tax requirements must be defined.
Does the charger need to support OCPP?
To connect to MeCharge it must support a compatible OCPP version and configuration and allow an external server to be set. Model, firmware and functions are checked before activation.
Can I charge customers for charging?
Yes. The service can show the price before starting, link payment to the session and provide reporting data, according to agreed terms.
Will the charger appear in every charging app?
No: automatic presence in every app cannot be promised. The station is published in the MeCharge app and may be available through interoperable channels covered by active agreements and the selected configuration.
Do I need to register the charger on the PUN?
Publicly accessible infrastructure falls within PUN information obligations. MeCharge organises data and prepares the bulk-upload JSON file. The operator manually uploads it to its PUN account and checks the result: submission is not automatic.
Can I change operator without replacing my charger?
This may be possible if the station allows its OCPP server to be changed and there are no technical or contractual restrictions. Device, firmware, credentials and existing service are checked before switching.
Do I need to handle management myself?
Manage chargers in your area and assign roles to colleagues with Team. To delegate drivers' calls, choose remote driver assistance: included in the trial, optional and paid under the contracted service. CPO support is separate; physical interventions are not included in remote assistance.
Try before deciding
Already have a charger to make public?
Register free, connect a compatible station and try it in your control area. The trial does not make it public or activate paid services.
