This guide is for Charge Point Operators and Managers. It explains how to activate the physical Wevolt RFID cards you received, in the Wevolt Hub, so they work on your chargers.
If you are an EV driver activating your own single card, you do this in the app instead, see How to Activate Your Wevolt RFID Card.
What you need
For each card you want to activate, you need two details, both supplied on the card-order letter that came with your cards:
- The Visual Number printed on the front of the card (it starts with "WV").
- The associated Hidden Id (UID).
Activate a card
- In the Hub, open RFIDs and Groups (RFID Management).
- On the Local RFIDs tab, click Create Local RFID.
- In Hidden Id, enter the card's Hidden Id (UID) from your card-order letter.
- In Name, enter the card's Visual Number, or your own reference for it.
- Tick Set As Active.
- Click Save.
The card now appears in your Local RFIDs list with a status of Active. Repeat for each card in your order.
✓ Use the Name as a meaningful label
The Name can be anything that helps you, such as a person's name, a vehicle registration, or a unit number. It is the label that appears against sessions in your transactions and reports, so set it to whatever makes your reporting easiest.
Give the card access to your chargers
Activating a card registers it on your account. To control which sites it can use, and at what price, add it to a Group, which carries the Locations it can access and the Tariff it is charged at. See Managing RFID Cards and Access in the Wevolt Hub.
⚠ Important: an active card alone does not grant access
A card must belong to a Group that is bound to at least one Location before it can start a charge at your sites. Activating the card is step one; assigning it to a Group with Locations is what grants access.
