When you are finished

Leaving the charger ready for the next guest

A few simple courtesies keep the charging bay safe and available.

  • Unplug when finished

    Stop the session, then disconnect from the vehicle and the charger.

  • Store your cable safely

    Coil it up and keep it in your vehicle, not on the ground.

  • Free up the bay

    Where practical, move your car so other guests can charge.

  • Follow property notes

    Some properties have specific parking or access instructions.

Troubleshooting

If something is not working

Most issues are solved by re-seating the cable or re-scanning the code. If not, use the support details shown at the property or on the charger.

  • The QR code will not scan

    • Clean the lens and hold the phone steady 15 to 20cm away
    • Check you are scanning the code for your charger
    • Try your phone's camera app rather than a third-party scanner
  • Payment went through but charging did not start

    • Unplug and reconnect the cable at both ends
    • Check your vehicle is not on a scheduled or delayed charge
    • Re-scan the QR code and follow the session page
  • The cable will not release

    • Stop the charging session first, then unlock the vehicle
    • Release from the car end before the charger end
    • Press the connector in slightly, then withdraw it straight
  • The charger appears unavailable

    • Wait a moment and re-scan, the charger may be finishing a session
    • Check for any notice from the property about the charger
    • Use the support details shown at the property or on the charger

Support is provided through the contact details shown by the property or on the charger. Please do not attempt to open or adjust the charger yourself.
