Official Website	https://duracellenergy

Duracell Energy EV Charger is used to charge your electric vehicles at home. This requires installation of a charging point. To use the charger, you must install their phone app or use their provided smart cards, both of which requiring registration through their app.

Consumer-impact summary

User Freedom

It is possible to switch off the power to the entire charger within your home using physical switch.

It is not possible to use the charger fully offline, even if smart cards have been registered. When the charger is on, its WiFi hotspot and Bluetooth discovery is active.

User Privacy

Registration requires the following information:

• Your phone number

There is not an in-app way to erase your data and delete account. There is a phone number and email address that can be used for exercising data privacy rights. Calls to their customer service are recorded, for training purposes.

The app asks for the following permissions:

• Network
• Bluetooth
• Location servers - your precise geo-location
• Notifications

Observations

The charger itself cannot be found, even when using the app with all requested permissions granted and enabled. It is unclear if this is due to connection issues, unexpected configurations or platform specific bugs. Due to the charger WiFi hotspot not being found, you cannot control when charging starts or stops using the app or for setting up smart cards.^{[citation needed]}

The default password for the charger WiFi hotspot is easily guessable. Changing the password is done via web browser. Any settings enforcing HTTPS must be disabled to access hotpot configuration, as the connection is made using HTTP.^{[citation needed]}

The charger's WiFi hostpot requires connection to your home router over WiFi. The connection can be unstable or out of range. Ethernet would be a more reliable way for the charger and router to communicate with each other.^{[citation needed]}

Incidents

Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary.

If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
