Remember to unplug the connector from your vehicle and the charger so that other users may use it. If you've brought along your own charger cable, do collect it back upon completion of charging.

Kindly ensure that the charging session has stopped completely before unplugging the connector.


How do I monitor my charging status?

After you have activated the charger, connect & plug the cable from the charger into your vehicle, and you will be able to view the charging status in the app.


What type of chargers are available on Setel?

These chargers are currently available on Setel:

  • Type 2
  • CCS 
  • CHAdeMO

What is the difference between CCS2, Type 2 and CHAdeMO?

  • Type2 - An AC slow charging only suited for hybrid PHEV and also full BEV cars with CCS ports.
  • CCS2 - A DC charging connector usually at DCFC chargers with (Combined Charging System) that can allow EV cars to use either a CCS2 (fast)/ Type2 (slow) charging if necessary.
  • CHAdeMO -A DC connector only for Japanese EV cars like Nissan Leaf & incompatible with Type2/CCS2 port so it's quite rare. Available only at DCFC units & not AC wall chargers.

What do the charger power levels listed mean?

The power level indicates the maximum charging power the charger can deliver to the vehicle.


I am not a Setel user. Will I be able to use the EV charging feature?

Unfortunately, this feature is only available to Setel users.


Will a charging cable be provided at the charging station?

A cable will be provided at locations with DC Fast Chargers. At locations with AC Slow Chargers, you will need to bring your own charging cable.

We highly encourage you to bring along your own cable at all times as a contingency.


Is there a minimum charging time required?

There is no minimum charging time required. Rates are based on the charging duration or kWh depending on the charging station.

As other EV users need to charge their vehicles, you can be considerate to others by parking your vehicle at the dedicated bay and disconnecting your cable right after you've completed charging.
