What is meant by the charger status?

So you can be sure the charge point is working

Written by Sjoerd Kortekaas

The charger status is the current connector status of the charge point.

Charging stations can report a status for the station as a whole, or per individual connector:

  • Connector 0 = the entire charging station

  • Connector 1 = the left connector

  • Connector 2 = the right connector

This means a dual-socket station can report different statuses for each connector at the same time — for example, one connector may be Charging while the other remains Available.

We'll explain the different status options below:

  • Available = the charge point is available for charging

  • Occupied = charging in process

  • Preparing = connecting (RFID card scanned or charging cable connected to charge point and car)

  • Not available = not available due to malfunction

  • Faulted = charge point error (Click here to find out how to diagnose the error)

  • Suspended EV = charging is being suspended by the car
