Offline allocation ensures efficient and safe energy management when chargers lose communication with the back office. This article explains how to view and manage offline power allocation settings.
What is Offline Allocation?
Offline allocation is the power limit set for chargers when they lose communication with the back office. This feature:
Ensures safe energy management during communication outages
Limits chargers to a predetermined power allocation
Applies to all chargers at a site by default
Viewing Offline Allocation
To view the offline allocation for a site:
Navigate to the Energy tab
Click on the three-dot menu at the site level
Select the "Edit site" option
Note: Offline allocation is only available when "Energy management" is enabled on the site.
Overriding Offline Allocation at the Charger Level
While offline allocation is set at the site level by default, it's possible to override these settings for specific chargers:
Wevo's support team can help operators set charger-specific offline allocations
Overrides are visible in the charger settings
An overrides column in the chargers tab displays custom allocations
This feature allows for:
Greater flexibility in energy management
Prioritization of specific chargers during communication outages
Improved visibility of custom allocations at the charger level
