Ever since we released our next-gen charge point management system Connect and API v2 to beta in early March this year we have been working hard on getting them ready for the full release. Last major feature missing from Connect is the support to manage Express and we will be releasing that in the beginning of August. This means that the release is approaching fast as we are planning on getting Connect and API v2 out of beta during August-September, soon after the summer holiday period is over. This will mean a few things considering our product suite lifecycles:

1. We will be deprecating the old eMabler UI.
   • eMabler UI won't be receiving any updates or bug fixes any more starting from today as we will be focusing our development efforts completely towards Connect
   • eMabler UI will be kept live until the end of 2025, but we will highly recommend switching to Connect as soon as possible
   • From the beginning of 2026 we will take eMabler UI completely offline
2. We will be deprecating API v1.
   • API v1 won't be receiving any updates or bug fixes any more starting from today as we will be focusing our development efforts completely towards API v2
   • API v1 will be kept live until further notice as we are mapping all services that are dependant of it
   • We will be noticing you about the timeline of API v1 going offline separately
   • We highly recommend starting the planning process of taking API v2 into use as soon as possible

By getting both Connect and API v2 out of beta we can provide better user and developer experience to all of our customers. New technical foundations of both allow us to move faster with new feature development. We want to thank everyone who has provided us valuable feedback during the beta phase as we have been able to create a truly great platform which we will continue to improve continuously.

If you feel like Connect or API v2 is missing some key features that are preventing you from migrating, please contact our customer support and we will prioritize these cases as needed.

Thank you for your support and have a great summer!

We are moving with great velocity with Connect with one of the last big releases before getting out of beta! Introducing integrations, you can now manage roaming and other integrations from Connect. As a cherry on top we are also releasing special support for Easee sites wanting to use DLM!

Integrations​

Integrations in Connect is finally here! You can finally manage your roaming connections and other integration settings straight from Connect. Visit the new integrations page and check it out yourself!

Easee DLM​

We have improved our DLM capabilities by adding support for Easee chargers. When configuring a new DLM site, you can now configure the DLM type. By selecting "Easee", you can continue to configure the DLM for a site which has only Easee chargers.

New features​

On top of the previously listed features we are releasing the following:

• Added support for resizing column sizes on data tables. Column sizes are also saved to browser's memory.
• Exposed "Message integration" field for chargers
• Other small bug fixes

This release improves system stability and ensures reliable service for all customers by preventing individual faulty chargers from degrading overall system performance.

OCPP​

Malfunctioning chargers that constantly reconnect will now be automatically blocked for a short time period. If a charger reconnects more than 60 times in an hour, it will be automatically blocked for an hour. This is done to prevent the reconnections from overloading the system.

API & Connect​

When a charger is blocked, this status and the block duration are available through the API and Connect. You can see the timestamp of when the charger will be available to connect again under charger details.

Dear Valued Customer,

We would like to inform you about an upcoming deployment freeze that will be in effect from July 1 to July 31, 2025. During this period, we will temporarily halt all non-essential software deployments and updates to our production environment.

What does this mean for you?

• No New Features or Updates: You will not see any new features, bug fixes, or minor updates deployed during this specific timeframe.
• Continued Service: Our services will remain fully operational and monitored throughout the deployment freeze. There will be no impact on the availability or performance of the existing features you use.
• Critical Bug Fixes: In the unlikely event of a critical issue, we will, of course, prioritize and deploy emergency fixes to maintain service integrity.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Regular deployments will resume on August 1, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our support team at support@emabler.com.

Have a nice summer and thank you for your continued trust in us.

Sincerely, eMabler Team

We're making minor improvements to our OCPP message handling.

Enhancements​

• Improved handling of DeviceTimestamp in disconnect messages to more accurately reflect the actual charger disconnect time.
• Added support for the EVSE component in OCPP 2.0.1 configuration values.

Bug fixes​

• Fixed a rare concurrency issue in charger status handling. WebSocket connection flickers should no longer leave chargers in an inconsistent state.

We are happy to bring you this release containing support for tariff management in Connect! New and improved UI provides a more user-friendly and understandable way to manage tariffs with improved visuals. Other big features we are releasing is the possibility to bulk update socket details on site level and add your own explanations to charger events. Read more about the release below!

Tariffs​

Tariff management in Connect is here! Manage tariffs, link them to sites and have a better understanding how the tariffs are actually active with improved visuals. With the new improved energy costs chart and timetable views you get a better understanding of the time restrictions applied to the different price elements.

A new addition to tariffs is the support for start and end dates for price element validity. This allows you to set future pricing model beforehand and allowing them to activate automatically. No more need for manual adjustments.

Socket bulk update​

We have heard your feedback regarding the socket information being too cumbersome to update, so we are introducing the site level socket bulk update tool. You can find the tool under Site > Tools > Socket bulk update. With socket bulk update tool you can select either all or just some sockets on the site and apply socket information like socket type, power type, format and power ratings to them in bulk. No more need to update sockets one by one.

Event explanations​

You can now save your own explanations to charger event messages. Clicking either information or error messages under Charger > Events opens a menu where you can add explanations for any messages. You don't need to try to remember what some error messages mean anymore, you can just add a clear explanation and it will be visible with all messages with the same text content. You can spot user written explanations from original messages from different background color.

New features​

On top of the previously listed features we are releasing the following:

• New roles filter for operators list
• New list view option for sockets
• Added option to select the number of visible rows on data tables
• Fixed bug with energy consumption charts sometimes showing wrong consumption under sessions
• Fixed bug with site explorer sometimes not updating when navigating to another page
• Fixed bug with socket type selection sometimes showing as selected, even though no socket type had been selected
• Other small bug fixes

We are bringing a bunch of small but requested features with this release to both Connect and APIv2.

New features​

Connect​

• Show charger name on the driver charger access list
• Show charger name and socket name on the charging sessions list and Excel export

APIv2​

• Added externalId and RFID filters to GET /drivers
• Exposed charger name and socket name to GET /transactions
• By default pushIntegrationEnabled is set to true when adding new chargers

We are currently working hard on bringing our tariff engine to Connect, but in the meanwhile we have been able to do a couple of small improvements. New features for this release are listed below.

New features​

• New sessions tabs for site, charger and driver pages. No need to jump between Charging Sessions and the current page anymore!
• Search now supports charging session ids and returns corresponding charging session.
• Other small bug fixes

OCPI 2.2.1 support is out!​

From now on we support OCPI version 2.2.1 for new OCPI integrations! OCPI 2.2.1 is available for new integrations if that is supported by the OCPI partner. If you are currently our OCPI partner and want to move into using OCPI 2.2.1 with us, please open a service ticket and we will handle the rest.

🐛 Bug fixes​

• RFID tokens over 20 characters in length sent over OCPI are now properly handled to prevent rejected remote starts

We are introducing further improvements on the operational side of Connect with the new session page and DLM. With the new session page you have better view of what has actually happened during the session based on different metrics. The same timeline which you have seen on the ongoing sessions is also available in finished sessions now.

DLM is now also available in Connect. Currently the functionalities match the exisiting one from eMabler UI, but we are actively working on bringing new feature to DLM. In Connect the DLM page has received some new features like for example better visibility of how much currents are the subsites using and the history of the charging profiles sent to the chargers. Read more below!

Session page​

New session page is now available under Charging sessions > View on the individual charging session row. On the new session page you can see session details, session cost development, different metrics and the timeline of the session. Cost development contains the energy consumption and the cost development during the session. Metrics show energy consumed, power, state of charge, amperage and voltage changes during the session if charger has provided that information. Timeline shows the different events during the session, which makes it easier to troubleshoot finished sessions if need be.

DLM​

You can now manage your DLM setup from Connect! You can add, edit and remove DLM configurations to your sites to start using our cloud-based load management. In Connect you can see metrics for the used amperage between different phases and also how current is being used between the parent and subsites. External meters, subsites and chargers are all now grouped in the "Circuit" view, so you can more easily see the whole picture where the current is being used at currently. We have also brought the charging profile history to Connect, so you will have more visibility of the decisions the DLM has made when assigning currents to different chargers.

Please note that we are actively developing DLM further, so you can expect to see new functionality for that in the near future, so stay tuned!

Other improvements​

• Added power ratings under socket, so you can add more wattage/amperage/voltage combinations to single socket now
• New filters to OCPP logs
• Fixed bug with consumption estimation being calculated wrong at times for ongoing sessions
• Fixed bug with Operators view not showing all operators if there are more than 100 operators in the list
• APIv2: renamed POST v2/charging-sessions to v2/transactions to better match existing naming scheme
• Other small bug fixes and UX improvements
