Note: Changing authorization method settings in Station Info does NOT affect the driver’s ability to start a charge from the station nor does it make changes to the station’s configuration.
The Station Authorization Methods section of Station Info determines what authorization methods are shown to drivers in their mobile app for a specific station. It does not alter the station’s actual configuration nor the authorization method. The follow are the options that may be selected:
  • Mobile App enables charging sessions to be initiated from the user’s mobile app using the Start button and will display the corresponding icon in the mobile app. If this is not selected, users will not see the Start button in their app.
  • RFID adds the RFID icon to the station in the mobile app.*
  • Autocharge adds the Autocharge icon to the station in the mobile app.*
  • Free Vend allows the driver to initiate a charge session without remote authorization from the server.
  • Payment Terminal adds the Credit Card icon to the station in the mobile app.*
*Methods marked with an asterisk require additional configuration for these features to be enabled on the station. The ability to select an option does not indicate that the station already has the hardware or software capabilities to implement these features. Please refer to your hardware’s manual for the authorization methods supported by your station. These are the possible icons that will display on a station based on the options selected above:
