How do I add an hourly tariff to a price group?
How to add time-based electricity tariffs to price groups in Monta, including selecting from the public library, building a custom tariff, and applying tariffs to roaming price groups.
When creating a price group, you can add an hourly electricity transportation tariff to reflect variable electricity or grid costs throughout the day.
- Tariffs apply to public, member, and roaming price groups.
- They allow you to reflect real-time electricity pricing in your charging rates.
- They support dynamic changes throughout the day, such as peak versus off-peak rates.
- For roaming price groups, VAT (value-added tax) is not included in the tariff amount — it is added at the point of payment.
You can choose from the public tariff library or build a custom hourly tariff.
Access hourly tariffs
- Select the Price Group tab of a team.
- Click to edit the price group.
- Toggle on Hourly tariff and click to add one.
Select a tariff from the public library
- Select the Public library tab.

Build a custom hourly tariff
Use the custom tariff builder if you want to include specific time-based rates in a price group. You can also use it to automatically switch between member price groups based on the time of day — for example, different rates for day and night.
- Select the My custom tariffs tab and click to create a tariff.
- Name the tariff and specify whether your rates include VAT.
- Select a Season range — the period when the tariff applies.
- Create the tariff rates — the additional rates that apply dynamically on top of the base price.
- Set the Daily schedule — how the rates are applied during the day.
- Click Save and then Select the tariff.
- Review how the tariff is applied in the price group and click Save changes.
Add a tariff to a roaming price group
Adding a tariff to a roaming price group follows the same steps as other price group types, with one difference: VAT is not included in the tariff amount. VAT is added at the point of payment.
- Open Monta Hub and go to the Price Groups page for your team.
- Under Roaming Price Groups, select the price group to update, or click New Roaming Price Group to create one.
- Expand the Hourly tariff section and click Add tariff.
- Choose a tariff from the Public library tab, or select My custom tariffs to build a new one.
- Select the tariff and click Select.
- Click Save changes.
The tariff applies to all charges made through roaming platforms using this price group.
