Solutions to the most common issues at a charging station

Lightning bolt icon

Can’t start charging?

If you are sure you have the right to use a station and your payment details are up-to-date, checking the cable connection or waiting for a bit and trying again helps in most cases. This gives the charger a new chance to communicate with our platform.

Question icon

Can’t stop charging?

Like with starting a charge, trying again is the best help here. Try both with your RFID and the app. Give the charging station a chance to reconnect with our platform.

Can’t release the cable?

You should always be able to release the cable from the car. Depending on the car model, there is a release or open socket button. Also, toggling the central locking system of the car often releases the cable. This should release the cable also from the charger. If the cable is yours and still attached to the charger, please contact our support.
