Free OCPP 1.6J server for the Autel MaxiCharger AC charger

Point your Autel MaxiCharger AC (7.4 / 11 / 22 kW) to our OCPP 1.6J server to control who charges, measure kWh per session, and start or stop charging from your phone. Free with EzGYM.

The Autel MaxiCharger AC (7.4 / 11 / 22 kW) includes network connectivity with the standard OCPP 1.6J protocol (JSON over WebSockets). Using OCPP, the charger talks to a central server to validate RFID cards, report live kW power and log the kWh of every session. EzGYM is that central server, for free.

If you run a gym, sports club or customer parking lot, you can require RFID authorization so the Autel MaxiCharger AC stays locked to strangers: when a member taps their card, EzGYM checks if their membership is up to date and starts charging while they work out.

If you operate a distribution company or delivery fleet with electric vans, you can link the Autel MaxiCharger AC to your vehicles to track exactly how many kWh each driver charged at the depot and the cost of every session.

From the web dashboard or your phone you can also trigger RemoteStart / RemoteStop and unlock the connector with a single tap, without paying monthly per-plug fees.

How to set it up

  1. 1 Create your free EzGYM account and go to EV Chargers.
  2. 2 Add your Autel MaxiCharger AC with its rated power (7.4 / 11 / 22 kW) and choose whether to require RFID or set a kWh tariff.
  3. 3 Copy the unique OCPP URL given by the app (wss://ocpp.ezgym.net/ev…).
  4. 4 If the charger asks separately for the “Charge Point Identity”, “ChargeBox ID” or “Identity”, enter the ev… identifier there (the end of the URL) and leave just wss://ocpp.ezgym.net/ in the URL.
  5. 5 Open Autel Config / Autel Charge › OCPP Server › Custom › Server URL on the Autel MaxiCharger AC, paste the OCPP URL and reboot the charger: within seconds it shows Available in EzGYM.

On the Autel, enter in “Charger ID” (or “OCPP ID”) the ev… identifier EzGYM gives you. If you leave it empty the charger uses its serial number. The “Authorization key” can stay empty. Restart the charger after saving.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect the Autel MaxiCharger AC to EzGYM?

Add the charger under EV Chargers in EzGYM and copy the unique OCPP URL shown in the app (wss://ocpp.ezgym.net/ev…). Then paste it into Autel Config / Autel Charge › OCPP Server › Custom › Server URL on the charger.

Does the Autel MaxiCharger AC use wss:// or ws://?

Use the URL that starts with wss:// (port 443, encrypted): it is the one the app gives you. If your Autel MaxiCharger AC firmware only accepts plain ws://, write to us with the brand and model.

Can I lock the Autel MaxiCharger AC so only authorized members or drivers can charge?

Yes. Enable “Require RFID card” on the charger settings in EzGYM and the Autel MaxiCharger AC will verify every card in real time before delivering power.

How much does the OCPP server cost in EzGYM?

Nothing. The OCPP 1.6J server, RFID card validation, remote commands and kWh session history are free in EzGYM (up to 20 chargers per account).
