    This guide describes how to onboard Alpitronic 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 Alpitronic chargers, you will need access to the charger interface locally. See the hypercharger documentation for further details on how to do this.
