Who pays what at Wattify?

The rule

Whoever pays for the card pays for charging.
Whoever has the charge point gets the money.
Wattify sits in between and keeps a small share.

The five blocks

  • Account. This is the customer. A company, a building association (VME) or a person. The account gets the invoices. The account also gets the payouts.
  • User. This is someone who logs in. A user belongs to an account. One account can have several users.
  • Charging site. This is the place. An address, like a car park or driveway. The price per kWh is set here. The subscription is set here too.
  • Charge point. This is the device. A charge point is on one charging site. It has one or more plugs.
  • Charge card. You use it to start charging. A badge, or the app. Every card belongs to an account. That account pays for charging.

How does it fit together?

An account has users, charging sites and charge cards. A charging site has charge points. A card at a charge point makes a session. A card works at every charge point that allows it. Also at charge points of another account.

What about the subscription?

Usually the owner of the charging site pays the subscription. For a charger at home, the employer pays it. The subscription runs per charge point, per quarter. Whoever charges pays nothing towards it.
