How do I start an EV charging session?

Answer

If you have a tethered charging cable

  1. Unravel the charging cable from the charger and plug it into your vehicle. 
  2. The charger light will show it is ready: 

         EO Mini Pro 3: Pulsing Blue

         Sync charger: Solid Blue 

         Alfen charger: Green 

    3. Once the vehicle is connected and preparing to charge, the light will change: 

        EO Mini Pro 3: Pulsing Green (or fast pulsing blue depending on firmware) 

        Sync charger: Flashing Blue 

        Alfen charger: Light Blue 

    4. When charging starts, the light will change to show an active session: 

        EO Mini Pro 3: Solid Green 

        Sync charger: Scrolling Green 

        Alfen charger: Dark Blue 

    5. The Hive app will show that charging has started.
