# Charger Port

Charger Ports represent the individual connector points where vehicles can be connected for charging.

Use these endpoints to:
- List all available charger ports across your network
- Get detailed information about specific ports
- Update port settings and configurations
- Reserve ports for future use
- Start and stop charging sessions
- Cancel reservations

Each charger port belongs to a parent charger and can have different connector types (J1772, CCS, CHADEMO, etc.)
and power capacities. Ports also maintain status information about current charging activities.
