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 Alfen chargers, you will need access to an Alfen account in the MyEve app.
1. In the Tap app: Locations > connect new charger
2. Select Alfen - MyEve App.
3. Copy your unique URL from the Tap app or webportal. Note that the manufacturer splits this URL in their app, so you can also copy the URL in separate parts in Tap.
4. Go to the Alfen MyEve app and select your charger. The next step depends on whether you are using a wired (LAN) internet connection, or a Tap SIM card.
