Flexible fees

Flexible fees is a feature that allows you to add additional payments for the end users. For example a fixed fee starting, Fixed fee charging, Minute fee charging and Idle fee fully charged.
In this guide we explain all different types of fees and give an example case for when you can use it. All flexible fees are applied on top of the kWh price.

  1. Fixed fee starting
    A fee which will be applied every time when starting the charge with this price group applied. It can be applied for both public and member pricing.
  1. Fixed fee charging
    A fee which will be applied after some hours of charging with the price group applied. For example, if the end user is charging for longer than the specified time, the fixed fee will be applied
  1. Minute fee charging
    Minute fee charging will be applied after set hours of charging with this price group. If the user is charging for longer than the specified time, idle fee will be applied.
  1. Idle fee fully charged
    Idle fee fully charged is a fee to be applied after the charge is finished but the car remains connected to the charge point. Meaning once the EV is finished charging but the end user did not pick up the car within the specified time when fully charged, the fee will be applied. This fee will be counting for every minute if the car stays plugged.
