Charger status definitions

Status

Definition

Available

When a connector is available for a new user.

Preparing

When a connector becomes no longer available for a new user but there is no ongoing transaction. Typically, a connector is preparing when a user inserts their cable into the charger socket.

Charging

The socket is in use and the vehicle is charging. 

SuspendedEVSE

When the vehicle is connected to the charger but the charger is not offering energy to the vehicle, possibly due to e.g. a smart charging restriction or local supply power constraints.

SuspendedEV

When the vehicle is connected to the charger and the charger is offering energy, but the vehicle is not taking any energy. Can be due to the vehicle being fully charged. 

Finishing

When a transaction has stopped on a connector, but the connector is not yet available for a new user, e.g. the cable has not been removed or the vehicle has not left the parking bay.

Reserved

When a connector becomes reserved because of a reservation or booking.

Planned

When a charger has been created on Fuuse but has not been set to LIVE.

Unavailable

When a connector becomes unavailable as the result of a change availability command or an event upon which the charge point transitions to unavailable at its discretion. Upon receiving a change availability command, the status may change immediately, or the change may be scheduled.

Blocked

When a connectors bay has been parked in but is not actively being used to charge. This can be triggered via an integration with a parking sensory accessory or manually by an operator.

Faulted

When a charge point or connector has reported an error and is not available for energy delivery. Please note: fault codes are not produced by Fuuse, these codes are reported by the charger. Please check your manufacturer guide for further information.
