PlugStream migration assessment

Third-party charger migration

Public charging moves to Luviq. Private estates follow the right PlugStream support route.

Already have EV chargers installed? You may not need to replace everything.

PlugStream Sentinel can help assess supported third-party OCPP-compatible charge points, but Sentinel is not the destination for every charger. Publicly accessible charging estates are routed towards Luviq; workplace, fleet, landlord and other private estates are assessed for the appropriate PlugStream Sentinel service.

Assess first. Preserve where practical. Migrate where possible. Replace only where needed.

Choose the destination

One assessment. Two clear operating routes.

The first decision is whether drivers can access the chargers as members of the public. That determines the platform route before compatibility, connectivity and site dependencies are checked.

Publicly accessible charging

Migrate suitable public chargers to Luviq

If members of the public can use the chargers, Luviq is the intended migration destination. The assessment checks OCPP access, charger support, connectivity, payment dependencies, user journeys and any site-level controls before a route is confirmed.

Private workplace, fleet or resident charging

Scope the appropriate Sentinel support route

If access is restricted to staff, fleet drivers, residents or another defined group, PlugStream assesses whether the existing hardware can be supported through Sentinel, migrated within the private operating model, or replaced in stages where necessary.

Migration

A route-first migration approach

Confirm the operating model first, then test whether the hardware and surrounding site systems can support it.

01

Capture site and charger details

02

Confirm whether the chargers are public or private

03

Check OCPP version and configuration access

04

Review network/SIM/connectivity ownership

05

Identify any load management or payment dependencies

06

Route suitable public charging estates to Luviq

07

Scope Sentinel support for suitable private estates

08

Recommend staged replacement only where needed

Assessment

Information we need to assess your site

You do not need every detail before speaking to us. The more we know up front, the quicker we can confirm whether migration is practical.

  • Organisation and site details
  • Number of sites
  • Number of chargers and sockets
  • Charger make/model
  • Serial number photos
  • Current platform/provider
  • OCPP details if available
  • Current network/SIM setup
  • RFID/user access requirements
  • Load management equipment details
  • Faults, issues or outage details
  • Existing installer/maintenance provider

Compatibility

Platform fit depends on access, hardware and site dependencies

Not every charger can be migrated to its preferred destination. Compatibility depends on charger model, firmware, OCPP version, network configuration, access to settings, existing platform lock-in and site-level dependencies such as load management or payment systems. A public site is assessed for Luviq; a private estate is assessed for the appropriate Sentinel support route.
