Public visibility and restricted acces

Once your charging station is enabled for public use and a pricing policy has been set, you can configure its visibility settings:

  • If you enable public visibility, your charging station will appear in the apps of all other charge card providers, including details such as its location and pricing policy.
  • If you do not enable public visibility, only you will know that the charging station is publicly accessibleit will not be visible in any apps.
  • You can also choose to enable restricted visibility, for example if the charging station is not located in a public area or if access is physically limited.
  • Attention ! Some charging cards may not work if public visibility is disabled.
    Location (GPS coordinates) is sometimes required to validate a charging session, so it must be visible. Likewise, if a station isnt publicly visible, pricing information isnt available in the app, and the session may be blocked.
