Charger Groups
Within a charge system, you’ll find all your chargers organized into one or more Charger Groups, each potentially configured with different settings, or with distinct positions on the map but still in the same neighborhood. For instance, you might have one group of chargers exclusively for members, while another group is open to the public.
Charger Group settings
Settings you can configure for each Charger Group include:
- Modifying the group name
- Adjusting availability between private, public or both.
- Setting charging fees. Read more about Charging fees
Charger Groups can be:
- Private only – Chargers are only available to users you’ve invited, or users with an RFID Key.
- Public only – Chargers are available to anyone with physical access to the chargers.
- Private and Public – Chargers are available to both Private and Public users, but pricing and availability may differ between the two.
- Neither Private nor Public – Chargers cannot be used.
