Rebooting your waEV-charge EV1 charger:

We know it’s a bit of a cliché, but often turning the unit off and on again can help! To do this it is recommended to power it off at the mains:

1. Locate the dedicated circuit breaker, which should be where your installer connected the charger’s cabling to your main supply.
2. Switch it off and leave it for 30 seconds.
3. Switch back on again.
4. If the charger still can’t be found, try and reconnect to the network.

3. Right-click on “Ethernet”, select “Properties”, and double-click the “Internet Protocol Version 4”.
4. Manually input the IP address - 192.168.100.100 and the Default gateway – 192.168.100.1

13. Click “Disconnect” and then reboot the charger by powering down and up after 10 seconds. When rebooted, the charger will automatically connect to WiFi and you can proceed to commission to the ev.energy app.
