How to use Z.E Trip?
What information can we obtain on charging stations thanks to Z.E. Trip?
Z.E. Trip gives you access: 
  • the availability status of the connected charging stations (free or busy), 
  • during opening hours of charging stations, 
  • the types of cables or plugs compatible, 
  • the power available for each charging station, 
  • the type of access to charging stations (self-service or subscription), 
  • at the address of the charging stations and the distance between them and your current location or destination. 
How to recognize the power of charging stations? Why do the terminal icons have a different color and number of flashes?
The power of a charging station is specified by a number of flashes.
  • 1 flash: normal charge,
  • flash  : accelerated charge,
  • flash  :  fast charge. 
The terminal stall is indicated by a color: 
  • red when the terminal is occupied,
  • green  when the terminal is free,
  • white  when the terminal does not deliver information (non-communicating or not connected to an interoperability platform). 
Can we filter our search by type of cable?
Yes. We even strongly recommend that you use this service to avoid ending up at a charging station that is not compatible with the charging cable (s) of your vehicle. 

To do this, simply go to the Navigation menu> Settings> EV settings> Cable settings, then check the type (s) of cable you have. 
How to start navigation to a charging station with Z.E. Trip?
After selecting a terminal on the Z.E. Trip, you just have to click on "Select" for the navigation to start. 
Why does the following error message sometimes appear: "The service is not currently available. The data will not be up to date"? What does it mean?
Connected, the Z.E. Trip sends a request each time you enter a destination in your R-LINK navigation to obtain information on charge points. For Z.E Trip to work, your car must therefore be connected via the network. If your connectivity subscriptions are up to date and the message "The service is not currently available. The data will not be up to date" is displayed, this indicates that the connection is not established, probably because you are in an area not covered by the telephone network. The message informs you that the results displayed will correspond to the results of your last request, updated according to your GPS position, but without notifying you of the availability of terminals. 
Why do the tablets indicating the availability of charging stations turn white after a few minutes?
Without action on your part and without launching a new request, the availability status automatically changes to "unknown" after 10 minutes. After this time, the application considers that the availability of the terminal may have changed and that a request must be made to update the occupancy statuses. 
How to relaunch a new search for terminals?
When you are already on the "Search for terminals" tab, simply click on "Refresh" to start a new search. 
Why is the charge price not displayed?
The charge price is not displayed on Z.E Trip because it depends on the supplier. You can however find it in the Z.E. Pass, available free of charge. 
Why can't we reserve a charging station?
It is not yet possible to book a terminal today because operators do not offer this service with standardized and generalized booking methods. We are currently working to offer you this service soon. 
Why does Z.E Trip not plan a "recharge" stop when entering a destination in the R-LINK navigation?
Today Z.E. Trip shows you the charging stations near your destination. Its function is to allow you to easily locate the charging stations and simplify recharging your vehicle when you need it. We are currently working to go even further in integrating recharging into navigation and thus make other services available to you in the future. 
I noticed the presence of a nearby charging station but it is not indicated in Z.E. Trip. Why ?
There can be several explanations :
  • Z.E. Trip refers only to terminals accessible to the public and open to all (possibly subject to subscription). If the terminal is not indicated by Z.E Trip, it may therefore be a private terminal. 
  • filters of research which you selected in the parameters (cables available in the car, power of the point of load, availability, means of payment, etc.) can exclude the terminal from the results.  

Every day new terminals are installed. To help us provide you with the best quality of service, do not hesitate to tell us about an inconsistency or a novelty by writing to us at evse.report@gmail.com.
