Randomised delay start

The randomised delay start is a requirement for all private chargepoints in the UK, which helps to ensure the grid can support the extra demand for electricity as EV adoption accelerates.
Every time a charge session is initiated, a delay of up to 10 minutes will be applied to the start of charge session. The status light will show blue LED’s counting down. Each LED represents one minute.
Where a charge session is scheduled to start at a specified time e.g. during off-peak times, a delay of up to 10 minutes will also be applied to the start of the charge session.
The randomised delay can be overidden by pressing and holding the function button down for 3 seconds.
The randomised delay can not be permanently disabled. It can only be overridden as described above.

Scheduling and off-peak charging

Our chargers are pre-configured with a default offpeak charging schedule. This schedule ensures that EVs are charged only during off-peak hours when there’s typically less demand on the grid. The off-peak hours are 10pm – 8am and 11am – 4pm Monday to Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Upon first use, or at any time afterwards, the schedule can be edited or removed. If no schedule is present, a new schedule can be created via our web portal or by contacting our customer care team on 0330 016 5126 or heretohelp@bp.com
Once a schedule is set and a vehicle is connected, the status indicator will fade in and out blue. Charging will start at the scheduled time and the status indicator will pulse green.
There may be occasions when a driver will need to start a charge immediately in which case the scheduling can be overridden by pressing and holding down the function button for 3 seconds.

Load management

Load management is managing the charging current to allow the available power to be shared across all connected sockets supplied by the same electrical circuit.
Where a power limit for a group of chargers has been set, the chargers will automatically manage the amount of power available to each vehicle so as not to exceed the maximum safe current rating of the circuit.
Depending on the number of vehicles connected to the same circuit at any given time, users may experience slower charge speeds. Consideration should be given to how much time is allowed for vehicles to charge when load management is deployed.
