Can you have multiple ChargePoint Home Flex on one account
I currently have one ChargePoint but am adding two more. I have the electrician over in the morning. Does the App support multiple chargers on one account?

I have looked into various EVSEs. Chargepoint apparently can only support one charger per account, and one account per charger. This is one of the main reason why I have crossed it out of my list.
Some other EVSEs have multiple chargers/multiple accounts support. And with Power Sharing, you can even connect two or more chargers on the same circuit - which means you don't need your electrician to run another wire to your panel (likely what you need to do with additional chargepoint charges, and it won't be cheap). You also have to verify if you panel could support 3 chargepoints as it would be very tight even if you have a 200A service. Using power sharing can connect all 3 chargers on a single 60A circuit.

You cannot as far as I know.

Wish I had done the research before buying the Chargepoints. Hopefully they update their software to support more chargers per account in the future. Seems like an odd limitation.

Currently only one per account. I have 2 ChargePoint flex chargers, one at my house in RI and one in my house in Florida. ( I was able to buy them for $250 each due to an instant rebate at the time). Found out only one charger per account. Called ChargePoint support and they confirmed only one per account. They recommended using a different email account for the second unit. Also said they were “working” on opening up the account to more than one charger. However, I have seen posts close to two years old saying they are “working “ on it so don’t hold your breath.
