In September 2025, Phillips & Temro announced the closure of the EvoCharge EV charging business.<\/p>\n

By November 2025, access controls for the chargers will cease to function, though basic charging functionality will continue to work as before. Essentially, it means EvoCharge\u2019s chargers will become basic, non-smart EV chargers.<\/p>\n

To preserve full charger functionality, access control, and other smart features, here is what you need to know about completing a successful migration to a new network.<\/p>\n

Can EvoCharge stations be migrated to a new network?<\/h2>\n

Short answer: Yes. Because EvoCharge stations support OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), migrating them to a new charging network is quite straightforward.<\/p>\n

Essentially, you\u2019ll need only to find a solutions provider that is also OCPP and then work with that company on a migration.<\/p>\n

Having successfully migrated hundreds of charging stations to the SWTCH network over the years, we highly recommend working with a provider experienced in performing such a migration. They\u2019ll know what to expect in the process and be able to help you avoid complications along the way.<\/p>\n

Will migrated EvoCharge stations work the way they did before?<\/h2>\n

Yes! Because EvoCharge supported OCPP, the full functionality of your charging stations should be available to you if you migrate to a new provider with a platform that also supports that functionality.<\/p>\n

If there are specific features you want to be sure your chargers retain, be sure to check in with your new solutions provider to ensure they are supported.<\/p>\n

Reach out to SWTCH to discuss your priority features and how we support them.<\/a><\/p>\n
