A single bill for EV charging at home and on the go
Overview of the status and impact of the innovation
What
Single-bill business models allow EV owners to pay for public charging on their home electricity bills. The service works by combining a standard domestic supply contract with a roaming package that detects the use of public charging points and bills for such use upon agreement with charging point operators. However, it may require removing regulations inhibiting the use of home or business electricity contracts at other locations.
Why
Having a single bill for EV charging at home and on the go simplifies electricity payments for EV drivers, eliminating one more barrier to the greater use of EVs.
