When you are creating Price Groups, you can apply additional charging fees on top of the base pricing. Here is how to create these fees and how they are calculated.

You can see the available charging fees, when you are creating a Price Group. Please note that not all additional charging fees are supported for all Price Groups or charge points.

  1. Open the Price Groups section of a Team
  2. Click to edit the Price Group
  3. Scroll down to see Additional fees field

Starting fee

This is a one time fee applied when the charge starts.

  2. Put in a name for the fee and state an amount per kWh
  3. See how the fee is added to the Price Group
  4. Click on Save changes

Charging fee

This is a one-time fee applied after a specified time, during the charge.
