ParEV Billing Functionality and Reporting

While you have an active ParEV subscription, ParEV can enable ParEV Billing functionality for your chargepoints on request.

ParEV Billing functionality is based around a mobile phone app or RFID cards, and where an app relies on the EV driver having an Android or iOS based mobile phone.

When ParEV Billing is enabled, a tariff of your choosing will be set for users of your chargepoints, which you can edit in the ParEV platform.

When ParEV Billing is enabled, ParEV may charge you the ‘Transaction Fee’ set out below for each chargepoint.

All payments are processed via Stripe. Details may be subject to change https://stripe.com/gb/pricing. The client agrees to abide by Stripe’s Terms and Conditions, which can be found at https://stripe.com/en-gb/ssa.

In order to receive payments you will need to create a Stripe account and provide the details of the account to ParEV to integrate it into ParEV Billing. This will enable payments to be made directly to your account less the Transaction Fee, which will be passed to ParEV by Stripe.

Electricity Costs

ParEV is not responsible for the cost of energy supplied to your chargepoints.

If you wish to recover the cost of energy supplied to your chargepoints, it is suggested you use the ParEV Billing functionality.

Electrical Demand Restrictions

Your chargepoints are supplied with features which allow them to synchronise with local, regional and national electrical demand restrictions.

These features allow ParEV to briefly pause charging, for example on instruction from official bodies such as the National Grid, for the purpose of balancing or maintaining stability of the local or national electrical generation or distribution grid. Under normal circumstances, ParEV don’t expect this functionality to have any material effect on charging, however, this may lead to potential pauses in charging.

Prices

Unless otherwise stated, prices are exclusive of amounts in respect of VAT and shipping costs.

Until a Contract has been formed, ParEV reserves the right to vary its pricing without notice. However, where ParEV has provided a quotation to you, unless otherwise stated, it will hold that price firm for a period of 30 days from the date of the quotation.
