Add an e-Charger

You can add a new charger to your user account from the V2C Cloud smartphone application or from the web platform www.v2c.cloud.

It should be noted that once the charger is registered, it can no longer be paired by another person, unless it is deleted. However, the owner of the charger can share it with other users. If the e-Charger is not registered to any device and the ID number is public, it can be registered by a third party without the owner’s consent. Therefore, it is important to perform the first pairing which gives full administrator permissions to the charger.

When you have e-Chargers with multiple sockets, you must pair each connector as if it were an independent charger and enter the corresponding ID for each case.

Once paired, the device can request connection via WiFi. To be able to do this, Bluetooth must be activated. If you do not have it enabled, it is advisable to do this step later by clicking directly on skip WiFi configuration.

V2C Cloud – smartphone version

To pair for the first time, it is necessary to have Internet connection on the cell phone. If there is no coverage, write down the ID number, go to an area where there is coverage and a stable Internet connection.

Bluetooth connection

When the WiFi signal does not reach the charger installation site or is insufficient, you can connect to the e-Charger via Bluetooth. You will be able to operate your charger even when your smartphone is out of range.

Through this connection you can perform all the settings of the charger, as well as view remote statistics, real-time charging, etc. However, it will always be more limited than using it via Internet connection.

These functions via Bluetooth are available on equipment intended for private use in community garages and for smartphones with Android or iOS operating system.

For efficient and high-quality communication, it is advisable to remain within a distance of less than 10 meters from the charger throughout the entire process.

To ensure effective Bluetooth scanning of the e-Charger, it’s vital to activate the location function on your smartphone. This is because we use BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology to minimize battery usage and ensure optimal performance.

With Bluetooth you can perform, among others, the following functions:

Access the entire e-Charger configuration
Lock/unlock (enable/disable)
Check real-time charging status
Change charging power including in real-time
Set timers
Program dynamic power control (for installations with or without photovoltaics)
Upload statistics to the cloud (you can consult them without being connected to the e-Charger)

*The first time you must access the app with an Internet connection, then we will cache your user. It is recommended to open the application when you have an Internet connection so that the charging statistics are updated. The web platform does not work for users with this connection.

WiFi connection

Depending on the e-Charger you have, the process will be done in one way or another. However, they all have in common that to establish communication via WiFi, it is necessary to do so through the V2C Cloud smartphone application and be sure to have a stable connection.

The connection between the charging point and the application is made via Bluetooth, so your smartphone’s Bluetooth signal must be active, and you should be positioned within a short distance from the e-Charger.*

If the network you wish to use does not appear in the list, enter the wireless network data exactly as it appears on the router (respecting uppercase and lowercase letters) and provide the password.

Once the connection is established, the e-Charger will proceed to restart. After a few minutes have passed since the restart, ensure that the WiFi icon on the e-Charger is active. If it’s not, verify that the password is correct.

* The use of Bluetooth requires enabling location services on some Android devices.
Certain company WiFi networks have security measures such as firewalls, DHCP blocking, port closures, etc. In such cases, the technical manager of the company should perform the configuration. For more information, please contact our support service.
