This article covers the user group "Drivers and Vehicles" and how to set up this user group.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Use Case
- Recurring users should be invited to charge at the charging infrastructure. You can choose whether to simply track users' consumption in the reev Dashboard for internal processing or to automatically bill users through the reev software.
Examples include employees, tenants, pool vehicles, company cars, etc
Create User Group
- In the User Groups menu, click on Create New User Group and select the Drivers and Vehicles group.
- Step 1: Give the user group a name (this can be adjusted later)
- Step 2: Decide whether the user group should be automatically billed or not.
- Step 3: Define tariff options:
- For automatic billing: You can charge per kWh, with a monthly base fee, or both. Select the option that suits you and set the tariff.
- Without automatic billing (optional): You can set a tariff to document all charging sessions for internal processing in your reev Dashboard.
- Step 4: Determine whether the user group should be activated for the entire charging infrastructure or not.
- Step 5: Decide if this user group should have priority charging. Note: This feature is only available if you are using the reev Balancer.
- Step 6: Review the user group details and click "Confirm" to activate the user group on the charging infrastructure.
- If the user group is not activated for the entire infrastructure, you can specify whether it should be activated for individual charging groups.
- If you haven't created a payment account yet, you will be prompted to set one up for fully automated billing of charging sessions. After further confirmation, the user group will be created and will appear in the "User Groups" overview.
