Why does my Waybox shows a red LED?
The flashing red color indicates an "error" state. By unplugging the cable or disconnecting the vehicle (for cable version), the Waybox should return to the "ready for charging" and "connected" status identified by the white color of the LED.
If this is not the case, we suggest you reboot the Waybox by disconnecting the main electrical panel and refueling the system after a minute. If the problem persists, call the dedicated Enel X Way toll-free number that you can find by clicking on the icon "Assistance" in the Box detail.
The red color can also appear as a fixed light for a short time (about 3 seconds) to indicate that the RFID card used is not authorized to enable charging.
Why does my Waybox shows a flashing yellow LED?
The flashing yellow color indicates a "standby" state. The standby status can be generated by both the Waybox and the vehicle.
Some of the most common cases in which the vehicle can cause the Waybox to switch to a standby state are:
- battery’s full
- too high detection of the internal temperature of the battery
- charging interrupted on the vehicle side for example via the remote control.
Some of the most common cases in which the Waybox autonomously switches to a standby state are:
- imposition of a charging profile through advanced smart charging or scheduled charging features
- detection of the current available for charging less than 6A through the functionality of Load Optimization Pro. In this case, if you have a Waybox Pro and a Waymeter, charging does not start because the Waybox realizes that it does not have enough power available to start charging. By disconnecting some appliances, the charging session could start.
If the problem persists, call the dedicated Enel X Way toll-free number that you can find by clicking on the icon "Assistance" in the Box detail.
Why does my electricity meter goes off when I charge my car?
In the installations not including Waybox Pro + Waymeter solution, you must always take into account the maximum available power of your connection. In this case, you may have turned on too many appliances at once.
We advise you to limit the power delivered by your Waybox through the "Configuration" option that you can select by accessing directly on your Box screen. From here, you can use the slider to reduce the maximum power that can be delivered to avoid triggering your meter. Remember that some vehicles need a minimum power to charge (about 1.4 kW or 6A). Reducing the power beyond this threshold will cause a "Standby" state in your Waybox signaled by a flashing yellow LED.
If the problem persists, contact us on the Enel X Way toll-free number that you can find by clicking on the icon "Assistance" in the Box detail.
Why is my Waybox not delivering power?
If your Waybox has a flashing yellow LED, check if you have changed the configuration of your Waybox from "Connect & Charge" to "Unlock to Charge" mode. In this case, to start charging, you will need to send the command from the App or use an RFID card associated to your account. You can change the request for authorization to start charging from the "Configuration" section in the settings on the Box detail page.
If the problem persists, call the dedicated Enel X Way toll-free number that you can find by clicking on the icon "Assistance" in the Box detail.
Why my Waybox doesn’t charge at nominal power?
The power shown on the Waybox datasheet is the maximum nominal power that can be delivered. The nominal power can be limited simultaneously by several factors:
- App restrictions. You may have entered a limitation on the power that can be delivered through Enel X Way app, change it within the "Configuration" section in the Box settings.
- The converter on your vehicle. The Waybox provides alternating current (AC) but your vehicle’s batteries charge in direct current (DC). An AC/DC converter is always present on board the vehicle and its nominal power can affect the maximum charging power. If you have a Waybox connected on a network that can provide 7 kW, but your vehicle’s converter is limited to 6 kW, you won’t be able to charge beyond 6 kW. You can find the converter info inside your car’s manual.
- Load Optimization PRO functionality active. If you own a Waybox Pro + Waymeter solution, the power delivered by the Waybox dynamically adapts according to the appliances that are turned on and automatically reduces to prevent your meter to goes off.
- The availability of your connection. A 7 kW Waybox connected over a 3.6 kW network will not be able to deliver beyond 3.6 kW.
- Type of network. A Waybox for three-phase network is able to guarantee 22 kW only if connected to a three-phase network that guarantees 32A. The same Waybox connected on a single-phase 32A network, will not be able to deliver more than 7 kW.
- Improper cable. If you have a three-phase Waybox plug version that can charge up to 22 kW, make sure that the cable you are using is three-phase otherwise you will not be able to charge beyond 7 kW.
If the problem persists, call the dedicated Enel X Way toll-free number that you can find by clicking on the icon "Assistance" in the Box detail.
What is the Waymeter?
The Waymeter is a device that can communicate with Waybox Pro by providing to this one information on the contractual power of your system and the power used by other appliances turned on. With these two pieces of information, Waybox is able to modify in real time the power delivered to the vehicle, reducing and increasing it in such a way as to prevent your meter to goes off.
Waymeter is installed directly into your electrical panel during the solution installation process.
Where can I find my charging history?
To view the history of the charging sessions you have done, you can access the "Charging History" section from the navigation bar. Within the "Home" section, you can view the history of charges done through the Wayboxes connected to your account. While within the "Public" section, you can view the history of charges done through public charging stations. In both sections, you can view the details of each charge and filter them accordingly to your needs.
In case of problems who can I contact? To whom can I report any problems?
You can ask for assistance directly through the dedicated form in the section "Report an issue" on your smartphone or on the website enelxway.com otherwise you can contact us through the dedicated e-mail enelxway.italy.support@enel.com giving details of the problem and your personal info.

To plan a trip, follow these steps:
- Access "Trips" section on the map and click on "Add trip" or, within the preview of a charging station, click on the navigation icon that lets you get directions to the station, then on "Calculate trip".
- Enter the route you want to take (departure, intermediate stops, destination), vehicle and other required parameters, then click on "Calculate trip". Now your itinerary is ready.
*In the trip preview, you can view all planned stops and the route on the map with charging stations highlighted with a rectangular pin. You can also change your trip preferences or save the trip.
- To start a planned trip, click on "Start trip" within the preview.
You can use your phone's navigator to reach the charging stations by clicking on the navigation icon. Once you arrive at the station, click on "Start charging" to begin charging.
When you arrive at your destination, click on "Exit trip" to end the trip.
Can I plan a trip without setting up a vehicle first?
You cannot proceed with trip planning without having configured an EV, as the route is calculated based on the range of your EV model. If you haven't already, set one up before proceeding with creating your itinerary. But be aware that not all vehicles are supported by the trip planning. You can find the list of supported vehicles here https://www.store.enelxway.com/it/it/pages-app/supported_vehicles.html.
What happens if I do not charge at the stations/plugs suggested by the trip planning?
If you do not charge at the stations suggested by the trip planning, the App will not be able to track your location, and you will have to recalculate your trip by clicking on "Recalculate".
Can I save my itinerary and view and/or edit it later?
In the preview and at the end of each trip, you have the opportunity to name it and save it.
You can find your saved trips in the "Trips" section which you can access from the map. Once saved, by clicking on the pencil icon present in the box of each trip, you can rename it, duplicate it, or delete it.
Can I save an itinerary and start it later?
If you want to create a trip and start it later, just save it and then click on it from the "Trips" section to start it.
How can I leave feedback on the trip and give suggestions for improvement?
At the end of each trip, you will be given the opportunity to leave feedback in order to provide us with ideas for improvement. If you have saved your trip in the "Trips" section, you can re-evaluate your itinerary or leave feedback if you have not already done so.
