Frequently Asked Questions

When your charge sessions ends as a result of the battery getting to 100%, there is no need to tap your card. The system cannot deliver any more power, therefore the system automatically ends the session. Dont forget you have 10 mins to release the charger before the parking fee starts.

We take a refundable €50 pre auth hold from your card to start the charge session to make sure we get paid. A separate transaction will show the actual transaction and then the hold is released and your bank put the money back in to your account. Weekends may delay your bank putting the money back into your account.

Depending on your car’s import capacity it is possible to achieve speeds of up to 199kw but only where you are the sole car at the station. Where multiple cars are charging the total is divided between the number of cars.

This has got to do with the plugs timing out. Please take the charger out of the car, wait 5 seconds and plug back in. Tap the reader, check the main screen, it will go from “connected” to “initializing” to “charging”. Please try a second card if one card does not work. Some bank cards such as business credit cards may not work immediately.
