Article summary

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.

  1. Connect the charger to your laptop with a USB-C cable. If the charger is connected to the internet via LAN, you can alternatively just connect the laptop to the same LAN network.
  2. Open a web browser on a laptop. Enter the URL: http://ev3000.local:3000
  3. Login using the following credentials:

Username: operator
Password: blitzoperator91500591
