Charging strategies 

Strategies can only be changed by Administrators and the Owner when a charging session is not in 
progress. 

 

-

 

Kilometre Strategy (Single) 

Based on the consumption of the vehicle entered (Wh/km), the vehicle is charged with enough energy 

in kWh to cover the desired distance in kilometres, in addition to the charge already present in the 

vehicle. In practice, a defined number of kilometres of autonomy is added to the vehicle. Charging 
stops automatically without the battery reaching full capacity. 
 

-

 

Kilometre Strategy (Repeated) 

The same settings as for the Kilometre Strategy (consumption and number of km) remain active until 

the strategy is changed. 
 

-

 

Fast Strategy 

The  wallbox  supplies  the  maximum  power  available  at  that  moment  to  charge  the  vehicle.  This 
strategy can also be started without photovoltaic production. It can also function at night. 

 

-

 

Ecological Strategy (Pure) 

The wallbox uses all the photovoltaic output to charge the car (subject to the maximum current set 
from the display and the maximum current accepted by the car). Obviously, the presence of other loads 

on the same line will be managed by the grid. When the photovoltaic power produced falls below 

1.8kW, the wallbox goes into stand-by mode and resumes when the production reaches 1.8kW again.

 

 

-

 

Ecological Strategy (Mixed) 

The wallbox uses all the photovoltaic output to charge the car (subject to the maximum current set 

from the display and the maximum current accepted by the car). The presence of other loads will be 
managed by the grid.  

When the photovoltaic production is between 1.8kW and 0.5kW, power will be withdrawn from the 

grid in order to reach the minimum charging value of 1.8kW. This is so that the charging session is 

never interrupted. When photovoltaic production falls below 0.5kW, the wallbox goes into stand-by 
mode and resumes when production rises above 0.5kW again. 
 

-

 

Time-Power 

It is possible to set the charging start time and duration of the session, after which the charging will 
stop automatically. The wallbox must remain connected to the car and in communication during the 

stand-by time.
