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 a 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.

The support team can remotely interact with the charger, due to operating on the cloud.

User Privacy

Registration requires the following information:

• Your phone number

There is a "Help and Feedback" section under "User" where you can write a message to support.

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.

There is not a simple button to your erase your data and delete account.

The app asks for the following permissions:

• Network
• Bluetooth - for setup only
• Location servers - your precise geo-location
• Notifications
• Camera - to add smart cards via bar code (can manually input card serial number)

Observations

The default password for the charger WiFi hotspot is easily guessable. Changing the password is done via web browser. To change the password, you must connect to the charger hotspot in WiFi settings then visit a local IP address. Any settings enforcing HTTPS-only must be disabled to access hotpot configuration, as the connection is made using HTTP. The hotspot automatically switches off 15 minutes after connecting to it.

Sometimes, the charger cannot be found (when powered on), 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 bugs in the Android or iOS app.^{[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. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.

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