We are strengthening our API infrastructure by introducing two major security and stability improvements that will be enabled for all of our APIs.

What's New​

• Rate Limiting: To ensure system stability and fair usage, all APIs will now have rate limits applied. These limits are tailored to typical usage patterns and will help prevent abuse or accidental overload. Rate limits are enforced using a short sliding window, allowing brief bursts of activity without compromising overall stability. The rate limits should be high enough not to be visible for normal usage. However, they are useful for exceptional cases if a caller gets stuck in a loop or otherwise threatens the stability of our system.
• OWASP API Security Top 10 (v3.2) Enforcement: We are now actively enforcing key OWASP 3.2 API Security guidelines. This includes improved input validation, stronger authentication mechanisms, and better logging and monitoring.

These changes aim to improve resilience, protect against common threats, and ensure a more reliable API experience for everyone.

These changes should not be be visible to our customer integrations. They apply to both APIv1 and APIv2.

For questions or to request adjustments to rate limits, please contact our support team.

We are happy to announce that eMabler Connect and API version 2 are out now! Connect is eMabler's next-gen charge point management system which has been built from the ground up to match the complex requirements from our customers. Connect is built on top of the new API version 2 which is more performant and scalable than the previous version.

Thank you for your feedback!​

We want to thank everyone who was part of the beta and gave us valuable feedback on which things to improve. Based on this feedback we have been able to finetune features and make the user experience really stand out. But improving the platform doesn't end here - this is just the beginning. If you have any feedback, please let our customer service know about it.

Feature highlights​

Connect has a lot of new features when compared to the old eMabler UI. Below you can find some highlighted new features which will make your operational work even easier with Connect.

Improved UX to make operational work faster​

Redesigned platform with UX in mind, we have done thorough user testing and interviews to make site and charger management easier with Connect. Most important information is easy to find and navigation between sites and chargers is more straightforward. New comments sections make communication between team members a lot easier.

Enhanced search​

A new search functionality is available on the navigation bar. You can easily search chargers, sites, drivers and charging sessions from the same place which makes customer service work a lot faster.

Permissions & roles​

A completely new permission and role system to allow managing user access policies. Group different permissions into custom roles and assign those to your operators together with different site access to create access policies that match your organization’s needs.

Self-service developer tools​

You can now access API version 2 with API keys generated from Connect. Push API can be configured and enabled from Connect as well for more real-time data needs. Everything is 100% self-configurable to get you up to speed with your app development immediately.

White labeling​

We have introduced better white labeling tools for both Connect and Express. You can change the navigation bar on Connect to match your brand and with Express you have control of all the colours. Everything is easily managed through Connect of course.

New charging session overview​

A brand-new charging session overview allows to view session timeline, voltage, current and power curves and other necessary details in easy-to-understand package. Roaming and Express related information is all available in the same place.

Configuration templates, socket bulk updates and more​

We have implemented a lot of new features to increase your operational efficiency. Configuration templates allow you to configure different configuration implementations for different charger manufacturers and models and then apply them in bulk. You also have more site-level tooling available with configuration manager and socket bulk updates, decreasing the need for manual one-by-one work.

More tools for troubleshooting​

Improved events and logs for viewing what the charger has done and communicated towards us. Events can be renamed for more easily understanding what the issue in the future is. All raw OCPP communication between charger and eMabler are available under logs for full transparency.

More tariff scheduling options​

Tariffs are now easier to understand with better price charts and timetable views. Assing time restrictions to price elements to create different pricing models for different times of the day or automatically update pricing once the year changes. All existing price elements are available to you in Connect.

And some much more!​

Please jump into Connect and find all the possibilities yourself and don't hesitate to let us know your feedback!

We are on the final stretch before being able to release Connect out of beta, thank you all who have participated in providing us feedback during this phase. This release brings you configuration templates, settings to adjust the look-and-feel (white label) of Connect and a couple of other quality of life improvements. Read more below!

Configuration templates​

Configuration templates allow you to save different OCPP configuration values to a single place and apply those to chargers in bulk. Save different implementations for different charger models in the same template to manage everything from one place. No more need to manually update configurations one-by-one! You can find configuration templates from under More > Configuration templates and read more from here.

White labeling settings​

Many of you have requested options for white labeling Connect and we are now happy to deliver! Change the logo and the color of the navigation bar to match you organization's brand. These look and feel settings will be applied to all of your operators. You'll find these settings under More > Settings > Look and feel

New features​

• You can define redirect URLs for login, read more from here
• Socket and charger actions now ask for an optional comment before confirming
• "Used amperage" chart in DLM now supports chargers reporting meter values without phase
• Roaming CDRs can now be refunded with credit CDR functionality

We’ve made improvements to OCPP connectivity and Dynamic Load Management (DLM) to enhance stability, reliability, and multi-circuit support.

OCPP Connectivity​

• Improved WebSocket reconnection handling – more resilient recovery from connection drops.
• Smarter socket status logic – going forward, charger connectivity will be based on active WebSocket sessions. However, the socket statuses are decoupled from the active websocket connections. If no messages are received within 15 minutes, the socket statuses will automatically switch to offline, ensuring a more accurate reflection of real-world connection status. This update also reduces unnecessary status changes in customer apps by ignoring short WebSocket flickers — so a brief reconnection no longer triggers rapid offline/online transitions.

Note: When a charger is powered off, the socket status will remain as available for up to 15 minutes until the WebSocket timeout is reached.

Dynamic Load Management (DLM)​

• Easee multi-circuit improvements – better handling of DLM when multiple circuits are in use, ensuring smoother load distribution and more reliable performance across sites.

Invoicing portal​

• Fixed minor rounding errors on some individual transactions on the invoices.

We have been working hard during the summer to bring support for managing Express to Connect. With this new release we are also improving Express by giving you more options for customization. You can now change the colors of the Express to better match your organizations branding.

Express​

You can finally manage Express from Connect. Manage pricing, branding details and enable Express for chargers straight from Connect. As a completely new feature you can customize the color scheme of Express.

Bug fixes​

• Fixed coordinate fields not supporting complete coordinate range
• Fixed tariff page price chart not showing correct prices with some currencies
• Fixed an issue with adding chargers to integration locations

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

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
