This guide describes how to onboard Blitz chargers with Tap.
Onboarding in this context means getting the charger communicating with Tap. If you are looking for a complete guide for setting up an account and configuring your locations, see our Quick Start Guide.
To connect a Blitz Power charger, you will need to be physically located at the charger with a laptop. You can either connect to the charger using a USB-C cable, or connect the laptop to the internet on the same LAN network as the charger.
