Please note that when you connect your charge point to Monta, we become the operator of the charge point. This means that you need to use Monta to control the charging process.

1. Prerequisites

In order to connect your charge point with Monta, you will need to first install EVBox mobile app:

Android App / iOS App

2. Find and connect your charger via Bluetooth

Note: Save the charge point’s modem number at this point. You will use it later in the pairing process. It should look something like EVB-XXXXXXXXX.

3. Enter security code

Enter the security code of your charge point in order to get EVBox APP authorized with your charge point. Security Code should come with your charge point’s installation packaging, typically located on a big cardboard cutout. Enter the code and press “Authorize”.

4. Adjust the charge point’s access control

IMPORTANT! If you are planning to share your charge point publicly and EV drivers will pay for their charges via Charge Keys, you need to enable this. Here, in the setting “Charger Access Control”, enable Activate using charge fob/key and disable Auto-start. You can watch a more detailed guide about it here.

Once connected to the charge point you will need to head into “Installer Mode”. Click the button at the bottom of the screen.

5. Enter security code

Once you arrive to this screen, you will be prompted to enter the security code. This is the same security code that you was required to enter on step 3. Enter the code and click on “Continue”.

If you are connecting multiple EVBox Hub and Satellite charge points – contact Monta support.

10. Connecting the charge point to your Monta account
