How to restore the connection between your charging station and the E-Flux by Road platform

If your charging station loses connection to the E-Flux by Road platform, it may be due to a lack of internet or power. Follow the steps below to restore the connection.

Common causes of connection loss include unstable internet connections, power interruptions, or incorrect device configuration. Delays in reconnection may be a result of fluctuating network signals or persistent offline notifications.

For example, verify that the charging station is receiving power by inspecting the circuit breaker or switch in the meter cupboard. If the switch is off, turning it back on may restore power automatically. However, if the switch trips again, it is recommended to contact an installer for assistance.

If the charging station connection is still not restored, consider performing a full reset. To do this, disconnect the power entirely and wait for at least 5 minutes before restoring it. This allows the system to fully reboot and resolve more persistent issues.

1. Power cycle the charging station

  • Turn off the switch in the fuse box to disconnect power to the charging station for 3 seconds.

  • Turn the switch back on. This resets the charging station and prompts it to reconnect to the platform.

Additionally, after turning the switch back on, the communication with the eMobility platform should automatically reboot, ensuring that the charging station reconnects seamlessly.

2. Check the connection status

  • Log in to your E-Flux by Road dashboard.

  • Check the status of your charging station:

  • Status: connected – The connection is restored, and your charging station is functioning properly.

  • Status: disconnected – The connection issue persists.- Status: unknown – The charging station might be offline due to software or configuration issues. Troubleshooting steps like restarting communication services may help. To further troubleshoot, ensure the charging station has a stable internet connection. For better reliability, consider using a SIM card setup if connectivity issues persist.

If the charging station remains disconnected, refer to the manufacturer’s service manual or configure the ‘Operator’ setting in the My EVE app to the ‘E-Flux Platform.’ This can provide additional troubleshooting steps or resolve underlying configuration issues.
