Full release notes:January 25, 2024: Reports, Download OCPP messages + heads up for map visibility
Reports in the dashboard: The new Reports experience in the dashboard allows site hosts and partners to generate and download reports for their chargers and historical usage.
Charger reports:
- Charger statistics: Provides monthly aggregations of charger information such as # of sessions, # of unique customers, total charging time, total energy provided, and revenue.
- Upcoming: In a future release, charger status and uptime history reports.
Historical charging session reports:
- Full session: Provides information such as session duration, energy used, idle duration, peak power, average power and revenue.
-
15-minute intervals: Splits
session information into 15-minute intervals and provides information
such as start time and end time, average power, total energy consumed,
peak power and idle duration.
Note: Historical 15-minute interval data will begin accruing upon release, with data from Jan 22nd, 2024 and beyond being accessible at this time. - The initial release for reports will not include historical data for deleted chargers. There will be a follow up iteration soon after which will include the ability to generate data for deleted chargers.
Download OCPP messages: OCPP messages can now be downloaded as a .csv file for a given charger over a specified time period to allow for sharing OCPP message data.
Additional:
- Improved dashboard responsiveness and device scalability with scalable card components
- Enhanced the multi-company invite user experience flow and email design
Bug fixes:
- Update charger page information when switching between companies
- Fix ability to select the start date when using the custom date range selector
April 24, 2024: Additional Charging Statuses + Bank information in Dashboard
Full release notes: April 24, 2024: Additional Charging Statuses + Bank information in Dashboard
Additional charging statuses: In the dashboard, the Chargers page now displays additional statuses when chargers are in use to allow for more granular visibility and to confirm vehicles are actively drawing power.
How it works:
The additional charging statuses correspond to the transaction OCPP statuses reported by the
charger and include:
● Preparing: Either the vehicle is plugged in but a session has not been started via the driver
app, or vice versa.
● Charging: The charging session is currently in-progress.
● Finishing: The charging session is complete, but the vehicle is not yet unplugged.
● Paused by vehicle: The charging session has been paused by the vehicle, due to the
vehicle battery reaching its limit or having a charging schedule enabled.
● Paused by charger: Charging has been paused by the charger (charger OCPP messages
typically containing additional reasons why).
When chargers are in use, the transaction status is displayed along with a tooltip giving a brief
description of the status meaning as well as amount of time since the charger last reported the
OCPP status. The list of chargers on the Chargers page can be filtered by these transaction
statuses.
In addition, the overall summary status for active charging sessions has been updated from
“Charging” to “In use” throughout the dashboard experience.
Bank information in dashboard: There are new alerts in the dashboard to prompt site hosts to provide bank account information when they have paid pricing enabled.
How it works:
Companies have a bank information status (“Missing”, “Provided” or in select circumstances “Not
required”).
Companies that (1) have active paid pricing rules and (2) are missing bank account information will
be prompted in the dashboard with reminders to provide info to receive direct deposits. Users are
then prompted to provide their bank information through the web submission form.
● Company page: Bank info status is displayed with a link to the web submission form.
● Pop-up prompt: Users will be prompted upon logging into the dashboard if the company is
missing bank information.
● Email reminders: For site hosts who have funds pending deposit, but are missing bank info,
email reminders will be sent informing users they can provide their bank account details to
receive their deposits.
Additional
● Dashboard data will automatically refresh for certain elements (session info/data, statuses,
charts/visualizations), without requiring a browser page refresh. Data refreshes periodically
every 15, 30 or 60 seconds depending on the interface component.
● Time zones are automatically selected when adding new locations in the dashboard. After
setting a location latitude and longitude, the closest time zone (including specific area +
location, e.g. “America-New York”) will be selected. It can be manually edited if needed.
● The driver web app “stop button” for chargers with idle fees has been updated to
specifically represent scenarios where transactions must be stopped to allow drivers to
unplug their vehicles (a requirement for certain vehicle + charger models).
