Support for 'Plug and Charge' and improvements for assigning CPO tariffs as well as onboarding a charger
Release date 29.10.2024
Please note that the content of the release may change without prior notice until the release date.
Support for Plug and Charge (ISO 15118) capable charge points
For charge points with ISO 15118 support, ‘Plug and Charge (ISO 15118)’ can now be selected as an additional authentication type. With Plug and Charge, no physical authentication (e.g. via RFID card or app) is required. The vehicle automatically authenticates itself at the charge point as soon as it is connected.
Authentication types can be selected on the Charge port details page > Configuration.
Assign CPO tariffs immediately
Previously, tariffs could only be assigned to a charge point with a lead time of at least 15 minutes. To give you even more flexibility, we have adapted the assignment so that newly assigned tariffs are active immediately unless you set a specific activation time. Assign tariffs in Pay > Assign CPO tariffs.
Tariffs with price increases of more than 7% compared to the highest tariff of the last 30 days must still be assigned with a minimum of 30 days in advance.
For more information on tariffs, please refer to How to assign CPO tariffs.
Streamlining the creation of chargers
As the process of creating chargers can often be complex, we have simplified it further to make your work easier. Improvements were already introduced in the last release, and with the current update you benefit from further simplifications that make the process even faster and less complicated:
If you use a vaylens SIM card for communication between your charger and the vaylens backend, you no longer need to enter any SIM card information when creating a charger.
Essential information that you need to configure your vaylens SIM card can be found in the PDF summary that you can download after successfully creating the charger:
If you need further information on creating a charger in the vaylens portal, please check our guide How to onboard a charger.
