Random Start

Introduced with EVSCP regulations in 2021, Random Start is a randomised delay applied to sessions start times.

Random Start is a built-in feature that delays the start of a charging session by a random amount of time, for up to 10 minutes.

This is required to comply with UK smart charging regulations and helps reduce strain on the electricity grid.

How Random Start Works

When a charging session is initiated, the charger may delay the start by a short random period.

  • The delay is automatically applied

  • The duration varies each time

  • Charging will begin once the delay has passed

Regulations require charge points to allow users to bypass the randomised delay when needed.

To adjust this setting, go to Settings > Charger Settings > Random Start.
