This guide outlines how to add a driver to the Fuuse platform and a driver group for easy access to sites and chargers.

Drivers can set up their own account in the Fuuse Driver App, they will then require permission from the operator to access sites/chargers.

Downloading the app

Drivers will need to download the Fuuse app from the Google Play (for Android users) or App Store (for iPhone users).

The links below can be provided to the drivers, these will take them directly to their app stores.

It is worth noting that in the Apple App Store, the app is titled 'Fuuse' whereas in the Google Play Store, the app is titled 'Fuuse - EV Driver App'

Please find the links below;

Adding a driver to the Fuuse platform

Once the driver has installed the Fuuse app, they will need to be added to the Fuuse platform. This is so that they can access chargers on a site/multiple sites, which is controlled in the 'access control' on Fuuse.

Step 1: Head into the 'Drivers' section and select the 'drivers / vehicles' option

Step 2: Click the 'add driver / Vehicle' option to create a new driver. From here, you will have the ability to enter a driver's name and the email which the driver used to create their own account on the Fuuse app. You can also create the drivers account from this section.

Please note that the platform won't create a new password for drivers who already have a Fuuse app account or are linked to other accounts in the Fuuse back office. For new drivers without an existing account, a password will be generated and emailed to them. You can also send the password to them directly if you wish.

Adding drivers to existing groups

Newly added drivers can be assigned to existing groups within Fuuse. To do this:

Step 1: Head into the 'Drivers' section and select the 'driver groups' option.

Step 2: Click on the 'see details' button in line with the group you are wanting to add drivers to.

Step 3: Click the 'Group Actions' button followed by 'Add Drivers' and select or type in the drivers name you would like to assign to your group, click 'add drivers' to apply and save changes.

After assigning the newly added drivers to their designated groups, these will automatically pull across to any access control profiles and tariffs that exist in the platform (please ensure that the group is added to the access control profile).

If you would like to create new driver groups, please see section 'creating a new driver group'.

Creating a new driver group

Adding drivers to different groups allows you to easily add multiple drivers into an access control profile, without having to manually select them individually. Driver groups are also shown in the session logs reports. 

Step 1: Head into the 'Drivers' section and select the 'drivers groups' option.

Step 2: Click 'add new group' and enter a group name, then select the names of drivers you wish to add or type in their name to search/select, then create group. Note: you can also assign that group to any existing access control profiles.

Checking the access control section

Once you have created the driver and added them to the correct group (e.g. Resident or visitor), you can then check any existing access control profiles to ensure the correct tariffs are setup

Step 1: Under the 'Access' tab, head into the 'access control' section.

Step 2: Locate the existing profile and select the ellipses 'button' to 'see details'.

Step 3: Check the 'list of users' section at the bottom of the page which will show any drivers/driver groups associated with the access control profile

Step 4: If you wish to add a new group of drivers or individual drivers, click the 'edit profile' button. Scroll down to 'List of users' and select 'manage drivers'. You will be presented with the option to add individual drivers or select a 'group of drivers' created earlier.

Step 5: Click the 'add to profile' button to add new driver groups to the access control profile and save your changes.
