How to start a charge

How to activate the charger when you're at the station and ready to plug-in

There are currently 2 ways to start a charge at a Matcha charger:

  1. Using your RFID card (if you're a member); or
  2. Scanning the QR code on the charge station.

1. Tap Your Matcha RFID Card 💳

If you've signed up for a Matcha Membership Plan, you may have received a Matcha RFID card. Using your RFID card is the fastest and easiest way to start a charge. Simply tap your card at the station where indicated, wait for the indicator light on the charger to flash blue and beep, plug-in, and your charge will start automatically.

  2. Ensure your vehicle is properly parked and secured
  3. Click the “Start Charging” button
