It says to tap an RFID card, then plug it in! Well, tapping the RFID card isn’t doing diddly balls, i plug it in & nothing happens! Then i download the BLINK app, but no charging stations pop up when i log in! Same thing with the TOTAL Energies app, it gets my location right but I can’t access the charging stations!
What do I do? Electric cars are supposed to be PLUG-IN & then you bugger off! Not 40 minutes of troubleshooting apps & looking for Wi-Fi or whatever.

Don’t tap the card. Hold it against it a while
From the looks of it this charger is not powered cause usually those lights should be burning and the RFID scanner has a little status light as well.
This charger is simply not working..
Blue corner is also the most useless charging company ever in Belgium. Use Chargemap and find something else
Bluecorner trash
it should light up in a light when you hold the card, hold not tap. if it’s red, call the number on the help line there, they can reset it the charger and then it should work. if there’s no light it’s not on and usually someone has to come by
Go to a fast charger and just pay with your debit card
Never had issues with bluecorner to be honest (btw it’s Blink charging now)
The good thing about Blink is that it’s a fixed price, everywhere you want to charge.
Saved me hundreds of euros.
This charger is not powered on, so it will not charge indeed.
Next time rent a proper car. The one I have takes about 60seconds to ‘charge’ and goes about 800km on that charge. Charging stations are everywhere, no app required to find them. Many also take cash.
