What activation means
Importing a station (see sections 5.2 and 5.3) registers its technical and administrative details in the platform. A station becomes usable for charging sessions only once it has also been activated. The single-station wizard and the bulk import flow each perform both steps together, so completing either one already activates the station and no separate activation step is needed.
Activating a station imported without activation
A station can also be imported without being activated, which leaves it registered but inactive. The control panel’s status column reflects this (see section 5.5), and clicking such a station’s row in the list opens the activation flow described below instead of its full set of detail tabs (see section 5.1).
To activate a station directly, open the activation flow at
/stations/activate and pick one of the two options.
- Activate single station (
/stations/activate/single) — a 3-step flow: select the station, configure it, then activate it. - Activate multiple stations (
/stations/activate/multiple) — the equivalent flow for several stations at once, from an Excel file.
After activation
Once activation completes, the station becomes available for charging sessions, and its full set of detail tabs (see Part 6) becomes accessible from the stations list. From that point on, the station behaves the same as one created through the single-station wizard or the bulk import flow.
