Group-based Tariffs

The Group-based Tariff functionality allows Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to design and manage differentiated pricing for specific driver groups across sites. Instead of applying a single uniform tariff, operators can create flexible pricing strategies that support loyalty, fleet management, corporate agreements, and promotional campaigns.

Key Use Cases for CPOs

1. Corporate Fleet Agreements

Many businesses operate EV fleets and need a dedicated charging tariff negotiated with the CPO.

• Example: A logistics company has a fixed energy price for its drivers across all sites in a region.

• CPO benefit: Simplifies billing, ensures corporate compliance, and secures long-term fleet partnerships.

2. Employee or Internal Charging

CPOs can offer special tariffs to employees or staff using the same network.

• Example: Employees at a retail chain get a discounted charging rate at company-owned stores.

• CPO benefit: Strengthens internal EV adoption programs without disrupting public pricing.

3. Promotional & Regional Campaigns

Apply temporary or regional tariffs to specific groups.

• Example: Launching a “Green Mobility Week” promotion where selected users get a lower tariff at certain sites.

• CPO benefit: Supports marketing campaigns, customer acquisition, and differentiated offerings across geographies.

4. Differentiating Public vs. Private Access

Some sites serve mixed use (public + private fleets).

• Example: Public drivers are charged the default site tariff, while a local taxi company is charged via their own tariff group.

• CPO benefit: Ensures fairness and flexibility without requiring duplicate site setups.

How It Works

Step 1 – Create Driver Tariff Group

• Define a Group Name (e.g., “Corporate Fleet A” or “Employee Discount”).

• Assign a Tariff from the billing section.

• 

Step 2 – Add Drivers

• Drivers are added to the group.

• Each driver automatically inherits the tariff defined for that group

Step 3 – Link to Sites

• Associate the group with one or more sites.

• Charging sessions at those sites apply:

  • Default site tariff for non-group drivers.

  • Group-specific tariff for assigned drivers.

Benefits for CPOs

• Revenue Optimization – Differentiate tariffs across business partners, employees, and the public.

• Operational Efficiency – Manage driver-level pricing centrally without manual overrides.

• Scalability – Easily expand loyalty or corporate programs across multiple sites.

• Flexibility – Apply pricing rules tailored to regional, promotional, or customer-specific needs.
