When a charger goes offline and reconnects, Tecell’s software maintains session integrity by storing transaction data locally on the charger or in a secure cloud buffer. Upon reconnection, the system automatically syncs session details with the central platform, ensuring no data loss or billing discrepancies. The software validates the session state and resumes or finalizes the charge based on the last known status before disconnection.
How session continuity works in practice
In real-world deployments, Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) uses a hybrid approach to session tracking. If a charger loses connectivity, it continues to log real-time energy consumption and status updates locally. Once the connection is restored, the system performs a reconciliation process to align the local logs with the platform’s records. This ensures that even during brief outages, users are billed accurately and operators maintain full visibility into charging activity.
This mechanism is especially critical in fleet or commercial environments where uptime is essential. For example, a delivery company using Tecell-enabled chargers can trust that their charging sessions will not be interrupted or lost, even if network issues occur during peak usage times.
What this means for operators and users
For charge point operators, this seamless handling of offline scenarios reduces operational friction and supports compliance with charging standards like OCPP. It also minimizes disputes with users over billing or session termination. Operators can rely on Tecell’s system to maintain accurate logs and billing data, even under challenging network conditions.
For end users, the experience remains uninterrupted. They don’t need to restart sessions or worry about losing access to their charging session data. The system ensures that their charging session continues as expected, even if the charger temporarily goes offline.
