Technical details off

The driver taps 'Start Charging' in their eMSP app.

The eMSP sends a StartSession command to the CPO, identifying the location, EVSE, and the driver's token.

Why this matters

Remote start eliminates the need for RFID cards. It's how app-based charging works, and it is the dominant model for new EV drivers and a key selling point for eMSPs.
