Ad-Hoc Charging allows electric vehicle drivers to charge their vehicle at a public charging station without prior registration or fixed contracts. Payment is made directly on-site, often via an app, credit card, or other simple payment method.

Use Cases

• Users who may only charge once at the charging infrastructure (short-term users) should pay for their electricity consumption. The charging sessions should be automatically billed via the reev software, transferring the payment from the user’s payment method to the operator’s business account.
• User groups: Customers, guests, etc.
• More information about Ad-Hoc charging can be found here.
• To enable this user group, you must verify yourself with our payment service provider, Stripe. More information about this process can be found here.

Create User Group

• To create the Ad-Hoc Charging user group, go to the "User Groups" menu, and select "Create New User Group" from the top left

• Step 1: Give the user group a name (this can be adjusted later).
  
  

• Step2: Set the gross tariff per kWh and the tax rate (this can be adjusted later).

• Step 3: Decide if the user group should be activated for the entire charging infrastructure (this can be adjusted later).

• Step 4: Set if you want to prioritize this user group. 
  Only possible if you use the reev Balancer)
  
  
  
• Step 5: Review and confirm the details, and note the registration of your charging stations with the German Federal Network Agency (necessary for public use of charging stations in Germany only).

• Step 6: If the user group is not activated for the entire infrastructure, you can now specify whether it should be activated for individual charging groups (this can be adjusted later).
