Once on the Charger page, identify and select the specific charger you wish to interact with. This will provide you with detailed information on that particular charger.
In the loader info box, look for the horizontal suspension points icon, usually at the top of the box. Click on this icon to display additional options.

Configure autostart
After selecting the desired loader, scroll down the page below the loader image. You'll find a button entitled “Start session”. Click on this button to start the charging process. This action will initiate the flow of electricity to the connected vehicle, enabling it to start recharging.
To configure autostart, find the desired loader in the Loader management section. Then click on it to obtain the charger details, and click on the horizontal suspension points icon at the top of the charger information box. Then select Modify loader.
You can activate autostart from the Loader details page using the switch in the Settings section. Autostart eliminates the need to authenticate before using an electric vehicle charger. When auto start is enabled, charging starts as soon as a vehicle is connected. If a charger is monetized and auto start is enabled, all transactions will be billed to an individual driver or corporate account. The e-mail address associated with the company on the Company page will be the billed account.
Autostart is ideal for dedicated chargers in multi-unit buildings. Residents with their own private chargers can connect without authentication, just as they would with a single-family home charger, but all charges will still be billed to their account.
