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.

In the main screen of the app, click on the ‘+’ icon in the upper right corner

You can add your E-Charger* by manually entering the ID number, which is located on the side label of the device under S/N or serial number.

*Se le solicitará la localización en el momento de emparejamiento del punto de recarga, para uso estadístico y por seguridad. El ID del cargador es código alfanumérico compuesto por caracteres aleatorios.

To pair the device by scanning the QR code on the label, click on the camera icon.

*STEP 2: You will be asked for the location at the time of pairing of the charging point, for statistical use and for security. The charger’s ID is an alphanumeric code composed of random characters.

V2C Cloud – web version

To pair the e-Charger via the web, log in to the v2c.cloud platform and click on the add e-Charger button.

Select ‘Number of chargers’ in the menu panel.

Click the Add E-Charger button to add a new device.

Enter the charger ID number and assign it a name to identify it.

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.

Set the current limits.

Determine the range for the charging current by setting the minimum and maximum values. The minimum selectable current is 6 A, and the maximum is 32 A.

It is important to configure the maximum current according to your contracted power and the type of electrical installation:

Single-phase installations: Multiply the contracted power (in kW) by 1,000 and divide by the mains voltage (230 V) to obtain the maximum current in amperes.
Example: 5.75 × 1,000 ÷ 230 ≈ 25 A.

Three-phase installations: Multiply the contracted power (in kW) by 1,000 and divide by √3 (≈1.732) × 400 V × cos φ (usually 0.95) to obtain the maximum current in amperes.
Example: 11 × 1,000 ÷ (√3 × 400 × 0.95) ≈ 16.7 A.

WARNING: Adjust the maximum current according to the capacity of your installation. For example, if the charger allows 32 A but your wiring only supports 16 A, set it to 16 A to avoid overheating or overloads.

Adjust the charging current without dynamic power control.

For chargers without dynamic power control enabled or available, you must manually select the fixed power at which you want to charge.

The app automatically shows the available values within the range previously configured in Current Limits.

Using the mobile app:
You can select the power at the top of the charger’s main screen by sliding the selector along the horizontal bar.

Using the web portal:
At www.v2c.cloud, just below the E-Charger image, slide the selector along the horizontal bar.

V2C Cloud – versión smartphone

V2C Cloud – versión web

V2C Cloud – versión smartphone

V2C Cloud – versión web

Adjust the charging current with dynamic power control enabled.

When dynamic power control is enabled, the charging current is regulated automatically, so no manual adjustment on the charger screen is needed. You only need to configure the Current Limits.

Dynamic power control detects your home or business electricity consumption in real time and automatically adjusts the charging current to make the most of the available power without exceeding the contracted limit.

WARNING: For proper operation of dynamic power control, ensure that your installation has a measurement device that allows real-time monitoring of the power consumed or generated (if you have a photovoltaic system).

Keep reading to learn how to activate and configure dynamic power control.

Activate and configure dynamic power control.

Once the correct installation of the corresponding meter has been verified, it is essential to properly configure dynamic power control.

The configuration can be done via Bluetooth or WiFi (if the model allows), either through the V2C Cloud app or using a computer at www.v2c.cloud.

If using the V2C ControlBox meter (version 2.0), you will need to select the appropriate installation scheme:

Standard installation: the current clamp is placed upstream, around the main incoming phase (the most common setup).


Alternative installation: the current clamp is positioned downstream of the main supply point.

Keep reading to customize the charging profiles for dynamic power control.

Customize the charging profiles for dynamic power control.

Set different maximum charging powers according to the time slots of your electricity tariff.

WARNING: It is essential to configure at least one charging profile that covers all 24 hours of the day, both on weekdays and weekends.
