Depending on the configuration of the hypercharger, both DC charging and AC charging are
available. Both charging processescan also takeplace at the sametime. If the hypercharger
is configured with at least two power stacks and two charging cables, two vehicles can be
charged with DC at the same time, with one power stack being assigned toeach vehicle and
charging cable. If at least two power stacks are available, more than one power stack can
be assigned to one vehicle.

2.2. Authentication
You can use, for example, your user card / credit card / operator app (connected via backend
system) / vehicle for authorization by doing one of the following:
oTap your user card on the RFID reader (contactless symbol below the screen).
oTap your credit card on the credit card reader.
oStart your operator app and follow the instructions on your smart device.
oConnect your vehicle to the charging station (plug in charging plug).
Note
Detailed user instructions for the charging process will appear on the
charging station’s screen for the chosen authentication medium and
charging cable.

2.4. Connect the plug
After you have selected the plug type, the display will ask you to connect the appropriate
charging cable. Connect the charger cable, which begins to flash blue,to thesocket provided
on your vehicle.

Note
When using CHAdeMO cables, make sure that they engage correctly.

3. During the charging process
3.1. Charging overview
Now an overlay of the active charging process appears.
Figure 14: Charging overview
On the left half of the screen you will find information about the charging current, the voltage
and the resulting charging power.
On the right half of the screen you can see the current state of charge (SoC) and the energy
and charging time already charged as well as the estimated time until you reach the bulk SoC
(80%) or full SoC (100%).
In the upper area you can see the overlay to the German calibration law, which is described in
chapter 4.3.

If two vehicles are charged simultaneously, the overlay is displayed as follows.

Note
Please note that the display may vary from operator to operator. Some
operators hide this information. In this case you can check the SoC inside
your vehicle.

4. Terminate charging session
4.1. Leaving screen saving mode
After a certain time the screen saver of the display is activated. To leave this mode, hold
your user card again against the RFID reader (see chapter 2.2)
4.2. Charging stop
You can terminate the ongoing charging session at any time by pressing the Stop button at
the bottom of the overlay.
Figure 16: Charging stop
Once you’ve pressed the button, you need to unplug the charging cable from your car.
Please reconnect it properly to the cable plug holder of the charging station.

4.3. Write down Public Key (German calibration law)
In Germany, the billing of EV-charging is regulated by the Measurement and Calibration Act
(MessEG). The hypercharger ultra-fast charging system is in conformity with this law. The
law guarantees consumption-based cost accounting for the charging of electric vehicles, i.e.
users are only charged for exactly the amount of power they actually take. The charging
station can thus be used for billing by the kWh in accordance with German calibration
law.
After the charging process is completed, the charging station generates a digitally signed
data record from the start and end values, which enables the often time-delayed invoice to
be checked afterwards. This signature confirms that the measured values were collected in
conformity with German calibration law.
In the upper part of the screen all relevant information is displayed (see Figure 14 and Figure
15). Two “pages” of the overlay are shown alternately, switching every 10/5 seconds. Once
the charging process is complete, the overlay remains on the display until the charging cable
is disconnected (however, at least for five seconds).
The “charging data” overlay shows the following information:
- ENERGY: Energy used in kWh
- USER ID: Identification number of the authentication medium. For reasons of data
protection, only the first and last digits are displayed in plain characters.
- CHARGE POINT ID: ID of the charging station. The letter Y at the end is a placeholder
for the charging interface number (e.g., charging cable 2).
- Date and time of the charging process.
Figure 18: Charging data overlay
The “public key” overlay shows the public key of the AC adapter or DC meter. You should
note this down so that you can check the readings later on.

In the case of an error, a third overlay is activated:

You can check the charging session with a so-called transparency software. As part of the
S.A.F.E. initiative
1
, a manufacturer-independent transparency software has been developed
for electromobility. With this application, you can carry out the signature checks for digital
measured values in conformity with calibration law.
The transparency software is currently only available as a desktop version
2
and can be
downloaded together with the operating instructions from the S.A.F.E. website:
https://www.safe-ev.de/de/transparenzsoftware.php
1
The S.A.F.E. initiative is an association of various German and international manufacturers, charging station
operators and mobility service providers with the aim of achieving a uniform solution for ensuring legal
compliance with German calibration law. You can find more information on https://www.safe-ev.de/en/.
2
The currently permissible and certified version of the transparency software by the S.A.F.E. initiative is version
1.0 (as of 1 June 2021).
