Charging sessions can be activated differently depending on the charger type available in your app - via the Map or the My charger menu sections. Here's how to start charging using each method.

Activating a Charging Session for a Private Charger

To initiate a private charging session through the My charger menu, follow these steps:

  • Open the My charger menu. If the screen shows "No car connected", please plug your vehicle into the charger to continue.
    ​

  • If your operator has enabled delayed charging to optimize energy costs, the screen will display a countdown indicating when charging will begin.
    ​

    • To begin charging immediately, select Boost charging. Note that Boost charging might include additional costs.

  • When your charging session begins, you'll see live details including:

    • The real-time charging rate (kW)

    • The total energy provided during the session (kWh)

    • The charging cost accumulated so far

Activating a Charging Session via the Map

To activate charging directly through the Map tab, follow these steps:

  • Select a charging location on the map, then choose your preferred charging socket. Alternatively, scan the charger's QR code.

  • Review the charging details displayed, including session pricing and applicable fees.

  • Plug your vehicle into the selected charger if you haven't done so already.

  • Tap the Start Charging button to begin your session.

Once activated, you'll see real-time updates, such as your current charging rate and ongoing session costs (fees excluded), enabling easy session tracking.

Note: Availability of the My charger and Map options depends on settings enabled by your operator.
