Connecting / disconnecting your electric vehicle
To begin a charging session
For charging stations equipped with a built in cable:
Open the charge point flap on the vehicle and insert the vehicle coupler into the charge point. You may
need to apply a small amount of force to ensure that the plug is housed firmly within the socket.
For charging stations equipped with a socket:
Lift the hinged flap of the socket on the charging station and fully insert one end of the vehicle
interconnecting cable in to the socket.
Take the other end of the vehicle interconnecting cable and insert it into the vehicle as described above.
To stop the charging session
Once the charging session has finished first remove the charging cable from the vehicle. Please note that
some vehicle models require you to manual disengage the vehicle’s charge point locking system to
enable you to do this. If this is the case please consult your vehicle’s owners manual.
For charging stations equipped with built in cable:
It is recommended that you store the cable by wrapping it around the charging station.
For charging stations equipped with a socket:
It is recommended that you remove the cable from the charging station and safely store it away when
not in use.
Please Note:
The cable cannot be removed from the socket on the charging station whilst it is still in a ‘connected’
state (solid blue or green status LED). Trying to do so could lead to the cable remaining locked into the
charging station when the EV is disconnected.
