The charging stations at the site you manage will be linked to a tariff group. This tariff group will contain multiple tariffs with certain restrictions, meaning the charging prices you set will only be available to specific user groups.
Normally, only two tariffs are needed. The first is a base tariff, which means charging is not allowed. The purpose of this is to ensure that no one can charge without proper access. The second tariff is for residents, and this one has restrictions based on a subscription that users must activate themselves.
Tariffs can be set up in many different ways. Here we will look at a standard tariff, commonly used as a fixed-price tariff.
How to create a standard tariff
After clicking Tariffs under Product Offerings on the left side of the screen, select Create Tariff.
In the next view, give the tariff a name and describe what it includes. In this example, we have created a guest price. The tariff is given a descriptive name and an explanation of the price users will pay. We recommend naming the tariff with the housing company name first.
Next, choose Pricing. Set Type to Standard. Tick Energy Fee to enable the option to set a price per kWh. This price is what users will pay for charging, entered in NOK. You will also find a minimum price (min. price) and a reservation amount (Pre-authorize amount), which may both be set to 0.
The next step is to set restrictions. If none are added, the tariff will be visible to all users in the Charge365 app. Here you select the subscription (Subscription plans) assigned to those who should have access — in this case, guests.
Then select Create Tariff, and the tariff will be saved.
For the tariff to apply to the charging stations, you must add it to the tariff group.
Go to Tariff groups, click on your tariff group, and select Attach Tariff. Search for the tariff you just created and confirm by pressing Attach Tariff once more.
