Understanding idle and session fees
2 min read
QUICK ANSWER
A station may bill by energy, charging duration or session. Idle charges after charging ends and independent parking fees may also apply.
What to know
Check the event that starts idle billing, any free period and the per-minute rate with the operator. Do not assume every network uses the same rule.
Planning and usage
Use a realistic number of monthly sessions when allocating membership fees. Infrequent use can make the membership cost per session high.
Final checks
The tariff comparison calculates the values you enter. Check the operator’s final price screen for bundles, promotions, taxes and rounding rules.
General information. Follow your vehicle and equipment manufacturer instructions.
