FAQ

What are the different charging modes on the Parasol?
Two charging modes are available: Priority and Standard.

Priority mode for a quick and immediate charge to be on your way fast.

Standard mode will optimize your charge depending on your parking duration, the solar production and the level of the Parasols’ batteries. This mode can delay the start of your charge.

I cannot find the connector for my vehicle
The Parasols have all the plugs and sockets available on the market and can charge vehicles. In addition, vehicles can usually connect to several different types of outlets. If you need help identifying the outlet for your vehicle please contact our hotline. Here are examples of outlets used by several vehicles:

Vehicle Plug or Socket
Renault ZOE T2
Nissan Leaf T1 and CHAdeMO
BMW I3 T2 and Combo II

My card is not recognized or it doesn't work
If the charging terminal indicates an error (red light and long buzz) your card is not active in our system.

If the charging terminal does not respond when you touch your card against the reader, there may be a malfunction.

In both cases, you may contact us at +33 9 72 56 26 80.

The Kino URBAN door doesn't open
The Kino URBAN doors open only if :

  • The charge point is available (green light) and your card is active.
  • The charge point is in use and you are the user that is currently charging.

In all other cases, the doors will remain closed. If the door does not open when you are in one of the above situations, please contact the hotline at +33 9 72 56 26 80.

The indicator light is flashing red
If the light is blinking red an error has occurred :

  • Your card is not recognized,
  • You are not the user that initiated the ongoing charge,
  • There is a problem with your charging cable,
  • There is a communication problem between the charging infrastructure and your car,
  • You have not connected your vehicle fast enough,
  • You have not closed the door on the Kino URBAN.

Some checks to make :

  1. Check the card that was used
  2. Check that the charge point is available
  3. Check your cable for any damage or obstruction

To reset the charge point, remove any connected cables, close the door (in the case of a Kino URBAN), wait until the indicator light turns green again and repeat the charging process.

My vehicle does not start charging immediately
  • Please check that you have correctly connected your vehicle and that the indicator light on the charging terminal is blue.
  • Be sure to wait a few minutes (up to 3 minutes for some terminals) to finish the communication between the charging terminal and the vehicle in order to complete the connexion.
  • Some vehicles have an option to program a night charging mode (e.g. the Renault Zoé or the Nissan Leaf) via their dashboard. Verify that this option is disabled before restarting the charging process.

Why does the Parasol's screen display 0 kW at the start of the charge?
The first data regarding your charging session (charging power and energy delivered to your vehicle) takes up to 1 minute to be pushed by the supervision system. After this initial delay, the data will be updated continuously.

 

Why does my charge sometimes stop at 80% ?
When charging in direct current (CHAdeMO or Combo II), the protocol imposes an automatic stop at 80%. To complete the charge from 80 to 100%, you may restart the charging process.

 

The information screen does not work
If the information screen does not work, this does not prevent the vehicle from being charged. Moreover, be assured that we are working on resolving the problem as soon as possible.
