About Sessions

A Session is created when:

1. Smart Charging is enabled in Charge Settings
2. Charge State status is not Disconnected

The Session StartTime is the first timestamp in the telemetry that meets the conditions above. The Session EndTime is the latest timestamp in the telemetry that meets the conditions above. For example, if the telemetry from the car indicates that the car is disconnected from the charger, the Session will be ended, and the timestamp of the latest Telemetry where the conditions still applied is used for the session end time.

Charging at unknown locationsThe Jedlix platform does not store GPS data from the car to respect end-user privacy. Instead, a check is performed for connected cars that provide GPS data to determine if the latitude/longitude provided in the Telemetry is within a certain radius of a known charging location. This information is reflected in the chargingLocationId when you Retrieve a specific session for a user.

If this chargingLocationId is null, it means that the charging location is unknown.
To prevent unwanted interruptions of the charge process while the EV driver is on-route, all sessions that take place at unknown charge locations are unmanaged by default.
