Charging Sessions โ€‹

The Charging Sessions page allows managers to view and monitor all charging activity, as shown in Figure 4.3.1.
From the menu, managers can access two tabs: In Progress and History.

In Progress Charging Sessions โ€‹

The In Progress tab shows all charging sessions that are currently active.
Each session is displayed in a table, with the following details, as shown in Figure 4.3.2:

In Progress

Session Details Table โ€‹

FieldDescription
ActionsOptions to view more details about the session.
IDUnique identifier of the charging session.
Started AtDate and time when the charging session started.
Charging StationThe station being used for charging.
ConnectorThe connector being used at the station.
DurationTotal elapsed time since the charging began.
InactivityTime spent idle during the session (e.g., vehicle plugged but not charging).
PowerCurrent power being delivered (kW).
ConsumptionTotal energy consumed during the session (kWh).
BatteryBattery percentage of the vehicle (if available).
PriceCost of the current session, based on rates set by building management.
CompanyThe organization that owns or manages the charging station.
SiteThe specific site where the charging station is located.
Site AreaSub-area or zone within the site.
UserThe resident or person using the charging station.

Actions โ€‹

Each row in the In Progress and History table has an Actions column with two buttons:

  1. View (๐Ÿ‘๏ธ) โ€“ Opens the live session details.
  2. More (โ‹ฎ) โ€“ Shows additional management actions.

View Session (Eye Button) โ€‹

Clicking on the eye button (View) opens a session detail modal with two main interfaces:

1. Power & Energy Graph View โ€‹

This view provides a graphical representation of the sessionโ€™s charging performance, as shown in Figure 4.3.3.

In Progress View Action
Figure 4.3.3:In Progress View Action
  • User Information โ€“ Same as above.
  • Session Stats โ€“ Current power, energy delivered, duration, inactivity.
  • Graph โ€“
    • Grid Power (kW) โ€“ The live power being drawn.
    • Energy Delivered (kWh) โ€“ Cumulative energy charged.
    • Grid Limit (A) โ€“ Maximum allowed current (if applicable).
    • Amount โ€“ Charging cost trend (if enabled).

The chart updates live and allows managers to track charging patterns, spikes, and efficiency.


2. Pricing & Consumption View โ€‹

This view shows pricing details and the breakdown of energy consumption (Figure 4.3.4).

In Progress View Pricing
Figure 4.3.4:View Pricing
  • User Information โ€“ Who is charging, with their unique identifier.
  • Session Stats โ€“ Current power, total energy delivered, start time, duration, and inactivity.
  • Pricing Breakdown โ€“
    • Description of the applied pricing policy (e.g., Default Pricing).
    • Entity Type (Tenant, Visitor, etc.).
    • Entity ID (internal reference).
  • Energy Section โ€“
    • Unit Price (cost per kWh).
    • Consumption (energy used so far in kWh).
    • Amount (total price calculated from consumption).

This helps managers verify costs in real time.

TIP

For In Progress sessions, the graph updates live.
For History sessions, the graph shows a full playback of how the charging evolved over time.


History (Past Sessions) โ€‹

The History tab shows all past (completed) charging sessions, shown in Figure 4.3.5.
Managers can filter sessions by date range, site, connector, or user.

Session History
Figure 4.3.5:Session History

History Details Table โ€‹

FieldDescription
ActionsOptions to view more details about the past session.
IDUnique identifier of the charging session.
Started AtDate and time when the charging session began.
End DateDate and time when the charging session ended.
ReasonThe reason the session ended (e.g., EV disconnected, stopped by user).
Charging StationThe station that was used.
ConnectorThe connector that was used.
DurationTotal length of the session.
InactivityTime the vehicle was connected but not actively charging.
ConsumptionTotal energy consumed during the session (kWh).
PriceCost of the session.

Graph View โ€‹

  • Like in-progress sessions, clicking a row expands a graph of the session (Figure 4.3.6).
Session History Graph
Figure 4.3.6:Session History Graph
  • The graph shows energy delivered over time, giving managers insights into charging behavior and efficiency.

Both In Progress and History tabs allow managers to do the following (Figure 4.3.7):

Filtering Sessions
Figure 4.3.7:Filtering Sessions
  • Search by user, connector, or station.
  • Filter by date range, site, or inactivity.
  • Export data for reporting and analysis.

With this setup, managers can easily monitor live charging activity, review past usage, and identify patterns that help optimize station management.
