Customer Service FAQ’s
EV Chargers
Not able to connect the Amstel EV Charger to Wi-Fi via the App?
Hold the small red button on the side of the charger to reset to Bluetooth mode. Then, ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz and not 5GHz. If you still can’t connect it is because the signal strength is too weak, we recommend you use the App in Bluetooth mode instead.
Do I need to install the Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) box to use my EV charger?
DLB is designed to protect the main incoming fuse into the home. For customers with multiple high power electric loads (electric cooking, heating, shower etc), the 32A that the Amstel EV charger draws might overload your home’s fuse and cause a blackout. No, you do not need to install the DLB box but it is recommended even for customers who want to future proof their system.
I’ve connected the charger to the car, the LED is green and strobing up and down, but the car is not charging?
The connector has not been correctly inserted. Remove it and as you re-insert, lift the connector up as you push it in.
My charger LED is flashing Red and Amber and the car won’t charge?
The DLB cable has been removed or damaged. Go into the App to disable the DLB if not in use or replace the damage Cat5/6 cable.
