Sessions Report

Last Update één maand geleden
Navigate to the 'Sessions' page in the menu bar under the Reports dropdown.
On the session page, you can access detailed insights and generate reports based on your charging history to extract any necessary information.
Example: Pulling a report for Q3 of 2024.
Change the time frame from 'Last 7 days' to 'Quarter' to prompt a calendar drop down.
Once your date range has been selected, select apply to see changes updated on the Sessions Report.
Below that you have the session stats which provides you with an overall understanding of how your charging sessions have been performing.
You are provided with:
- Average Session Duration: This determines the average duration of charging sessions for vehicles charged within the last 7 days.
- Total Sessions: This is the total number of sessions of all time.
- Completed: All sessions finished successfully or by timeout (in case charger is offline for more than 6 hours).
- Lost Connection: Number of charging sessions when the charger lost its connection during the active charging.
- Faulted: Number of charging sessions when the charger encountered an error while actively charging.
- Rejected: Number of unsuccessful attempts to initiate a charging session due to an invalid or unauthorized PIN/RFID input during the driver authentication process.
Sessions Report table
This report is designed to help you monitor, analyze, and optimize the usage and performance of your EV charging infrastructure.
To refine your view, start with filters:
- Group By: Organize data based on criteria like charger, time period, account, site, region, or vehicle for more detailed analysis and insights.
- Time Zone: Select between your local time zone, the charger’s time zone, or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Managing columns:
To manage the insights displayed in the Sessions Report table, click the ‘Manage Columns’ button. This will show you a list of column filters that you can use to customize the view on this page.
Note: All selected columns will appear in the exported report exactly as they do in InControl, so be sure to select all the information you need before exporting.

* Charging Duration calculations. If there are several charging interruptions during a transaction, take the earliest time for charging start and the latest time for charging end. In example times below, take 00:10 (start charging) and 02:55 (stop charging
- 00:10 - Start charging
01:00 - Stop charging by rules of Smart Charging, or other conditions
02:00 - Restore charging
02:55 - Stop charging
03:00 - Stop session
** Idle Duration = before charging starts + after charging finished. Calculate for completed sessions.
Important: When information for any column is not available - we will show an empty value. In case charger did not provide start charging time → Charging duration cannot be calculated and will be empty → Idle duration cannot be calculated and will be empty.
Some report fields require OCPP 2.0.1. If a charger uses OCPP 1.6 or another protocol, data for fields like Plug-in Time, Plug-out Time, Plug-in Duration, and Idle Duration will not be available and will appear blank in reports.

Using Your Session Data:
- Track energy usage by charger, site, and account.
- Monitor energy usage by authorization type.
- Analyze energy usage by authorization object (e.g., PIN, RFID, Vehicle) for cost accounting and session allocation, such as assigning costs to specific drivers.
- Track energy costs, excluding demand charges, and fees imposed by the utility.
- Review monthly energy usage trends.
- Measure environmental impact over time, broken down by vehicle, site, account, etc.
- Examine peak charging power for different vehicles and chargers.
- Identify time-of-day usage patterns.
