How to plug in your EV
Simply take the charging gun from the charger and plug it in to your vehicle’s charging socket. You may need to tell your EV to open its charge port at the start and also to release the cable after charging.
When you unplug, simply stow the charging gun back into the charger unit and wrap the cable around the unit to tidy it away. It’s important to stow the cable away properly to reduce the chance of trip hazards or damage to the charger or cable.
Leaving your EV plugged in overnight or unattended
You can leave your EV unattended while it’s charging, it’s completely safe. The charger will automatically stop charging once your EV is full or it has completed the scheduled charge. The charger will then shut off and stop using electricity. The charger is designed to manage the supply of electricity to your house, so your circuits don’t get overloaded.
It is safe to leave your EV plugged in overnight or even longer. It doesn’t damage your EV or the charger to leave it plugged in.
Servicing and maintenance
If you run into any problems with your charger, please don’t try to repair it yourself. Repairs should only be carried out by Indra or one of the Indra-approved installation partners.

Weather-safe
Don’t worry if it’s raining outside as your charger has been carefully designed so that it’s completely safe to use, whatever the weather. Our patented technology means the charger protects you from every kind of electrical risk from its use, and is even built to withstand accidental showering from a pressure washer.
Fuse-safe
The charger has a load curtailment feature, which means you don’t have to worry about it tripping your household fuses or overloading your electrical circuits. It will automatically adjust its usage depending on how much power is available.
Cybersecurity
Your cybersecurity is a key priority. Your charger has inbuilt encryption and other advanced security technology to protect your charger (and your home) from hackers. Indra’s cybersecurity team is constantly adapting and strengthening our protocols, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
Locking your charger
If you want to protect your charger from people using it without your permission, you can ‘lock’ it using the Indra App. When the charger is locked, it cannot be used, even in boost mode, until it’s been unlocked again. Simply go into the settings section of this app and toggle the ‘lock charger’ switch.
If your charging cable is locked in your vehicle’s charging socket, you will need to disconnect the cable using your vehicle app or in-vehicle controls.

+ How to pair your WiFi router to your EV charger
If your router has a reset button use this, or alternatively switch it off at the mains for 1 minute and then switch it back on again.
Locate the WPS button on your router. Press the WPS button once and return to your EV charger.
Within 2 minutes, press and hold the boost button on your EV charger for approximately 5 seconds until you hear 4 beeps. You should then see the LEDs on your unit change from their current state to flashing orange.
Allow the unit some time to establish a connection. During this process, the LEDs on the unit will flash a single white light and the Indra logo will go green for 5 seconds. Please refrain from interrupting this step.
After approximately 3 minutes, Once the data has caught up, the unit should return to a solid white LED. This indicates that your EV charger has successfully reconnected to the Wi-Fi network.
If the process is unsuccessful, please repeat the process or contact Indra.
