How to start a charge using an RFID tag

This is a simple guide that details how to use an RFID tags to start a charge, for more information on managing RFID tags with NexBlue products, follow this link.

Step 1 - Connect the vehicle to the charger

Using a mode 3 charging cable, plug one end into the socket on the vehicle, and the other into the socket on the charger. It is not possible to plug the cable the wrong way round as the socket designs are different to each other. Make sure that both ends of the cable are fully and firmly inserted into each socket.

Step 2 - Commence the charge

To start charging using the RFID tag, simply tap the RFID card on the charger that is intended to be used on the top left part of the charger where the RFID logo is (see below image) and the charge should commence. If the charger does not start charging the vehicle, check the vehicle settings to ensure that it's set to "charge now" mode, or similar, and that there are no schedules set.
