How to start a charge on a ChargePoint Station
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) anywhere you go is easy and convenient with ChargePoint. Just create a free ChargePoint account to access hundreds of thousands of charging locations on the ChargePoint network and many partner networks, then use the app to find a charging location. Once you’re at a charging location, here’s how to start charging.
You have three ways to start a charge:
- Tap your phone (signed in to the ChargePoint app) on the station
- Tap your ChargePoint card on the station
- Tap the orange “Start Charge” button in the station details page in the mobile app
Connect the charging cable to your vehicle and, if necessary, to the charging station. Check to make sure that your EV is charging.
When charging is finished, just unplug the cable from your vehicle and, if necessary, the station (press the stop charging button on the station if you’re fast charging). We’ll send you a receipt by email, and you can view your charging history in Charging Activity in the app.
