Generate extra income with EV charging amenities

Commercial EV charger installation is a great tool to diversify your revenue streams. To clarify, with an EV chargepoint at your site, you can generate extra income by providing EV charging amenities. To make the most of your EV charging station, you can set a range of fees, including access, parking and idle fees:

• Access fees may act as coverage for your EV charger installation costs
• Parking fees may act as coverage for your parking arrangement costs
• Idle fees may act as coverage for your loss of profit resulted from a car staying connected but not charging

To clarify, the mechanics of the application of the fees we discussed above is as follows. When EV drivers connect their cars to your charging station and start their session, access and parking fees will be included in the EV charging session price. During the session, idle fees are not applicable. No will idle fees be applicable, if after the session end EV drivers disconnect their cars and leave your chargepoint parking slot. Otherwise, when a car stays connected after the charging session end, the EV driver will be billed with idle fees.
