What if I lost my installation card?

Contact Peblar support • they can reissue the card with your Charge Point ID and OCPP password. Without the OCPP password we cannot authenticate your charger.

How long does setup take?

Around 5–10 minutes. Once you've reconfigured your Peblar with Joulo as Backoffice, sessions stream into your dashboard automatically. No further configuration needed.

Do my sessions from before I connected count too?

Yes. Your sessions from 1 January 2026 count, including the ones from before you connected. OCPP forwards new sessions automatically; you submit your history up to the connection once as a CSV export via 'Laaddata aanleveren' in your dashboard, and we add it for retroactive ERE.

Can I keep my existing charging platform (E-Flux, Plugchoice…)?

Yes. Joulo splits your OCPP traffic: one connection from your charger, two destinations. In your Joulo dashboard, set your existing OCPP URL under 'External OCPP backend'. Your charger sends to Joulo, Joulo forwards to your existing back-office. Dashboard, RFID tags and settings keep working as they do now, and Joulo registers the same sessions as ERE.

Which Peblar models are supported?

Peblar Home Plus and Peblar Business • both come with a built-in MID-certified meter, which is required for ERE registration.

Connect Peblar charger to Joulo

Can I connect my Peblar to Joulo for ERE registration? Yes. The Peblar Home Plus and Business have a built-in MID-certified meter and connect via OCPP 1.6J. You enter the Charge Point ID and OCPP password from your installation card, then point your Peblar at Joulo once.

What you need

✓A Joulo account (free)
✓A Peblar Home Plus or Business with a built-in MID meter
✓The installation card that came with your Peblar (Charge Point ID + OCPP password)
✓WiFi access to your Peblar's hotspot

Step-by-step setup

Find your details

The Charge Point ID (e.g. PBLR-0046529) is printed on the side of your Peblar and on the installation card (Hotspot SSID). The OCPP password is on the installation card.

Register in Joulo

In your Joulo dashboard, go to 'Connect charger', choose Peblar, and fill in the Charge Point ID and OCPP password.

Update your Peblar firmware

Open the Peblar app or the web interface and install the latest firmware. The Joulo backoffice option only appears on up-to-date Peblars.

Connect to your Peblar's hotspot

Scan the QR code on the installation card to join your Peblar's WiFi hotspot.

Open the web interface

Open the web interface in your browser and sign in with your installer password.

Reconfigure with Joulo as backend

First switch the web interface to Beheer (management) mode • that's where Herconfigureer lives, usually under Installatie (the exact spot can vary per firmware). Click Herconfigureer and confirm with your password. If you see 'Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het communiceren met het oplaadsysteem', close it and carry on. Set the charge point mode to Beheerd (managed): on Onbeheerd no Backoffice option appears at all. Step through the wizard to the Backoffice selection, choose Joulo, and leave the APN field empty. Click Next and save, and your Peblar is linked to Joulo.

What happens next?

Done. Charging sessions from your Peblar now stream into your Joulo dashboard automatically and are registered as ERE each quarter. Your sessions from 1 January 2026 count towards your first payout. For the ones from before you connected, you submit them once as a CSV export via 'Laaddata aanleveren' in your dashboard and we add them.

Joulo splits your OCPP traffic

Already using your Peblar via E-Flux, Plugchoice or another OCPP platform? Nothing has to change about your everyday charging flow. Joulo positions itself as a pass-through between your charger and your existing back-office. One OCPP connection, two destinations: your existing dashboard keeps receiving sessions, and Joulo registers the same sessions as ERE.

Joulo charger setup wizard with 'I already use another OCPP backend' enabled and an E-Flux URL filled in — When adding your charger in Joulo, point Joulo at your existing OCPP platform. Joulo forwards every session through to that platform, so your dashboard does not change.
