My professional Q8 electric charging card no longer works. What should I do?

If your business charging card is not working, this may have several causes. Please follow the steps below in order.

Step 1: Check whether there is an issue with the charging station

Sometimes the problem is not related to the card, but to the charging station.

  • Check whether the charging station has power

  • Check whether the screen or indicators are active

  • If possible, try another charging station

Does the charging station appear to have a technical issue (no power, no connection)?

→ Call the phone number displayed on the charging station.
You will be directly connected to the operator of that charging station.

Step 2: Try mobile charging

If the charging station appears to be working properly, you can try starting the charging session via the Q8 electric business app.

Please note: mobile charging is not available at all charging stations, but it may help in some cases when the card is not being read.

Step 3: Check card and account settings

Are you a fleet manager or do you have access to Q8 libertyweb?

If so, check:

  • Whether the card is blocked

  • Whether the credit limit has been reached

  • Whether there is a block due to unpaid invoices

If the credit limit has been reached or there are outstanding invoices, all cards may be temporarily declined.

Step 4: Check whether the charging card is physically damaged (exceptional)

In rare cases, a charging card may be damaged.

For example:

  • Visible damage

  • Severe bending

  • Exposure to strong magnetic fields

Do you believe the card is defective?

Request a new card via Q8 libertyweb.

Important: always block the old card before requesting a new one.
