page 9 .
5.1 TO CHARGE AN ELECTRICAL VEHICLE
1. If the charging station has a Type 2 outlet, connect
a charging cable to the Type 2 outlet.
NOTE
It is possible to lock the charging cable to a Type 2
outlet using the Garo Connect app. It is only the EV
driver that has locked the charging cable and the owner
of the charging station that can unlock the charging
cable. If an EV driver uses free use without using the
GARO Connect app or RFID (not necessary), this energy
will not be logged to the EV driver’s registered
consumption. But if the EV driver identifies themselves
on a free use charging station before attaching the EV,
then the charged energy is registered to the EV driver.
2. Connect the charging cable to the EV.
3. If the charging station gives a yellow blinking light
indication, authorization is necessary. Do one of
the steps that follow:
NOTE
If the charging station is set to free use mode (default),
no authorization will be necessary and the charging
starts immediately. This also means that the
consumption of energy is not logged or registered to
any specific user. To track consumption of an EV when
using a charging station in freecharge mode, the EV
must be identified before the vehicle is plugged in.
A free use RFID tag ID can be selected, so the
consumption is logged on the account of one user.
a. Either hold your RFID tag against the RFID
reader on the charging station.
b. Or log on to the GARO Connect app and
choose Charge and use (A). Choose location (B)
and charging station (C).
The charging starts after authorization.
NOTE
The following settings are also available in the GARO
Connect app.
• Schedule the charging.
• Manage personal settings and the personal RFID
tags.
• Monitor the charging process.
• Do a check of the status and location of charging
stations that are accessible to the user.
Also, ongoing sessions can be monitored and the
charging history analyzed.
