Getting started.

Three things to do once, and then charging looks after itself.

Your first charge

  1. 1

    Enter your building’s invite code

    Download the app and type in the code from your building’s poster or email. That connects you to your building and its rate.

  2. 2

    Link your car

    Sign in with your car manufacturer account. This is what lets your car report its own charging, so nothing has to be installed.

  3. 3

    Add a card

    Save a card so sessions can be paid automatically. You will not be charged anything until you actually charge.

If something is not working

My invite code is not accepted.
Codes are per building and can be deactivated. Check you have the current one from your building manager or the poster in the lobby.
I plugged in but no session started.
Check the car is linked in the app and that you are inside your building’s charging area. Sessions can also take a few minutes to appear, because they start when your car reports the charge rather than when the plug goes in.
Do I need to open the app to charge?
No. Once you are set up, plugging in is the whole interaction. The app is for checking what a session cost.
Can I charge before I add a card?
You should add one first. Without a card the session still gets recorded, and you will be asked to pay it — it is simpler to set it up before you plug in.
