Delete an autocharge vehicle
The Delete autocharge vehicle action removes a vehicle from the Peblar charger’s autocharge list. Once removed, that car no longer authorizes itself when it is plugged in.
Autocharge is only available on Peblar chargers that are equipped with power line communication hardware.
