FAQ's
My Hydra Cubus charger is offline. Can I still use it?
If the Cubus is offline it can be operated using the Hcharger App, that
connects via Bluetooth. However, each Cubus is delivered with two
RFID Tags that are preconfigured to operate the charger offline. Simply plug in, tap and go.My Hydra Cubus charger has been brought online. Why have my RFID tags stopped working?
If the Cubus is online then its actions are controlled via the Nexus
Cloud Pro management platform. This means the RFID tags need to
be associated with your Nexus Cloud Pro account. If this is done the
tag will operate any public Hydra charger as well as your own. Instructions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHbGzmaspRQ> but note that the charging cable needs to be plugged in for this operation, else the Cubus’s RFID reader is not active.Is the Hydra Cubus compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go?
Hydra Cubus is compatible with all Octopus energy tariffs, except the
Intelligent Octopus Go, However, if your vehicle is compatible- the Hydra Cubus is eligible to work on the smart Intelligent Octopus Go

Set a two-part schedule, with one session from 23:30 to 00:00, and a
second from 00:00 to 05:30. Disable the “Randomise Delay” (otherwise it should always be enabled) to ensure the transition from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 takes place seamlessly.

Hydra EVC has moved away from the Nexus Cloud platform to Nexus Cloud Pro. All chargers that could be migrated automatically have been migrated, so any chargers that couldn’t be migrated will need to be moved manually. Please call us at 01268 205 121 for further assistance.
