Can I use my EV charger as a simple plug-and-charge device?

Some EV drivers prefer a simple charging experience without apps, Wi-Fi connections, charging schedules, or smart charging controls.

In plug-and-play mode, your EV charger works like a traditional appliance – simply plug in your vehicle and charging will begin, with your car managing the charging process. Here's how to switch your charger into plug-and-play mode.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Switch Your Phone to Airplane Mode

Ensure your phone is in airplane mode to prevent interruptions.

• Enable Wi-Fi on Your Phone

Open your phone’s settings and turn on Wi-Fi.

• Connect to the Charger’s Network

• • Look for the charger’s serial number in the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

• • If the serial number doesn’t appear:

• • Reset the breaker for the charger and turn it back on.

• • Wait a few minutes for the charger to restart and try again.

• • Use the password admin123 to connect to the network.

4. Access the Charger Interface

• • Open your internet browser (Safari, Google Chrome, etc.).

• • Enter 192.168.4.1 in the address bar and navigate to the page.

5. Enter the PIN Code

• • If prompted, enter the 4-digit PIN code for your charger.

• • Your PIN code – this will have been in the box on a sticker when the charger was installed (also found on the side of your DuraCharger).

6. Adjust the Settings

• • On the interface, look for an option in blue labelled Charger Setup and select it.

• • Choose Plug-and-Charge Mode and confirm the setting.

7. Confirm Plug-and-Play Mode

• • Finalise your settings by selecting Plug-and-Play Mode and confirming.

NOTE: This will leave the charger open for anyone to use the charger without consent
