Billable EV chargers

[LooneyTunes]

I need to install some (3) EV charge points as part of a small development but need them to operate on a billable basis.

Does anyone know what the easiest way of achieving this is?

They need to be there for compliance with planning conditions but probably won't get used much (and hence won't generate any meaningful revenue). The ideal solution would therefore seem to be something that avoided complex apps or large subscriptions.

Any experience from people with multi-user sites would be really appreciated.

No specific knowledge, but I assume you mean 3 fast chargers (7 to 22kW) and not the big rapid chargers.
Will they also be open to the public or intended for private use?

Yes: just 7-22kW range would suffice, it's semi-public (hospitality/leisure) development but not going to be open for all and sundry to park up and charge (which probably rules out renting the space to a commercial operator).

I'm going to a campsite that has charge points that you pay for through an app I think I'll take a look and see who they use.

Campsite used Roam to bill with Autel charge point, must be 3 phase as it was 11kw, charging 49p kWh so I topped up you could use app but same price just to tap card. Definitely nicer charging an EV in a forest then having to go to some dirty petrol station!

i have the same, i just use podpoint to tick off the planning. works fine and each owner creates their own account and we can set the pricing.

Thanks - that could well be a winner: we have an Andersen charger already and it has been great, so would happily buy from them again.

We've mounted a few Easee's on commercial sites/offices/council sites, as I understand it you can get RFID cars for payment purposes. Really good units and they're modular, so easy to replace if there are any issues. Also means you can pre-wire them for future.

Thanks - they look good too.
