A flexible way to define a charger scope

The "Charger scope" in the charger's settings enable fine-grain control of the charger scope (who can see and use it).

To access it, add a charger through the add charger (+) pop-up dialog or edit it by clicking the 3 dots menu:

Every charger has a scope parameter containing one of the following values:

  • Closed - The charger is unavailable for use. This status is particularly useful as a temporary solution for installing a new charger before the scope is decided.

  • Open - The charger is unsecured. It is set to allow unlimited plug and charge.

  • Private - A charger is assigned to a specific driver. This driver is responsible for its billing. This is typical for apartment buildings with allocated parking spaces.

  • Account - The charger is shared with all account members. They can view the charger on the mobile app, initiate charging, or use their RFID. This is typical for workplaces and apartment buildings with shared parking spaces.

  • Groups - The charger is shared with specific group members. They can view the charger on the mobile app, initiate charging, or use their RFID. This is typical of workplace parking spaces shared by multiple companies / multiple departments, where there is a need to segregate usage.

  • Public - Shared by all operator members who can view it on the mobile app map, initiate charging, or use their RFID.

Note: Account,’ ‘Groups,’ and ‘Public’ will automatically enable secure charging.

For detailed instructions regarding the charger settings, please refer to this article.

Why don't I have an option to add a "Public Charger"?

If you would like to have the option to set up chargers as "Public", please contact Wevo support and ask that your charger setting allows adding "Public" chargers.
