EV charging software pricing

€20 per month. Unlimited chargers. 0% software commission on charging sessions.

That is the whole headline, and the rest of this page exists to show what sits underneath it — including the two things we do charge a percentage for, so you find out here rather than on your first invoice. All amounts exclude VAT.

In the United States and Mexico the same plan is billed as $20/month — the same number, in your own currency, with the same unlimited chargers and the same 0% session commission. The figures below are the euro list used in Europe.

Driver payment gateway2% + €0.25
per collection		All-in. The Stripe fee is already inside this figure, it is not added on top. No monthly fee.
Roaming Hub€1 / month
+ 1% per session		For askacharge.com brands. The 1% applies only to roaming sessions.

Joining the Hub with your own CSMS

Operators who already run a different platform can join the roaming Hub over OCPI 2.2 for €10/month + 1% per session. One OCPI integration reaches every member — against the €5,000 joining fees and multi-month integrations that are normal at the large hubs.

One-off configuration services

ItemPriceWhat it means
Basic configuration€60 onceChargers, tariffs and driver portal set up for you. Delivered in 48 h.
Complete configuration€120 onceEverything above plus OCPI, QR payments, solar integration and training. Delivered in 48 h.

Neither is required. The platform is designed to be set up without them, and most operators do.

Free rescue for a stopped charger

If your charger has been out of service for a month or more because the platform that ran it shut down, stopped supporting it or the contract ended, the rescue costs you nothing: 3 months free (instead of the 30-day trial) and basic configuration on us (€60 value). We help you connect it over the phone or a video call, with you or with your installer. Write to info@askacharge.com with the make, the model and where it is.

The honest part: we do it remotely, we do not travel. And if your manufacturer locks the OCPP server setting, we tell you before we start. After the 3 months it is the normal monthly plan or nothing: there is no contract.

What we do not charge for

What we do charge a percentage for

Two things, and only these two:

If you take no card payments and do not join the Hub, €20/month is the complete cost of running your network on askacharge.com.

Worked examples

Hotel with 4 chargers for guests

Software €20 + managed hosting €15 + own domain €5 = €40/month, whatever the chargers earn. If guests pay by QR, a €10 session costs €0.45 in gateway fees and the rest lands in the hotel's account.

Small CPO with 25 public charge points

Still €40/month — the software price does not move with the number of chargers. A platform priced per charger at a typical €5–15 per point would be €125–375/month for the same network, before any session commission.

Installer reselling under their own brand to 10 clients

Ten independent brands, each with its own logo, colours, domain and driver portal, from one account: ten subscriptions, €200/month in platform cost. What the installer charges each client is their own decision — the platform bills those clients recurring SaaS fees under the installer's name, not ours.

Where this pricing does not suit you. If you are a large network that needs a named account manager, a signed enterprise SLA and a procurement process, we are not that supplier and the €20 price is a fair warning of it. If you want a platform that takes a cut of every kWh so that you pay nothing up front, that model exists elsewhere and is a reasonable choice — it is simply not ours. The full list of what the platform is and is not, including current architectural limits, is published at askacharge.com/llms.txt.

Questions we get asked

How much does it cost per charger?
Nothing. €20/month covers an unlimited number of charge points.
Do you take a commission on every session?
Not on the software: 0%. Only the two percentages above — the 2% + €0.25 payment gateway if drivers pay by card, and 1% on Hub roaming sessions.
Is there a setup fee or a minimum contract?
Neither. 30-day free trial, cancel any time. Optional configuration services are €60 or €120 once.
My charger stopped when my platform went away. Does this help me?
That is what the free rescue is for: 3 months free and we help you connect it at no cost. The charger only needs to speak OCPP and let you change the server address, which most do.
What is in the €20?
Everything: OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1, all tariff modes including dynamic PVPC/OMIE pricing, QR payment with no app and no account, driver portal, public live map, load balancing, solar rules, OCPI 2.2 roaming as CPO and eMSP, fleet invoicing, Verifactu and TicketBAI/Batuz fiscal compliance, the full REST API and MCP server, team roles and anomaly detection. There is no tier above it.
I manage chargers for several clients. How does that work?
One account, several independent brands, €20 per brand. You set your own prices to your clients and bill them through the platform under your own name.
Is hosting included?
It is a €15/month option rather than a bundled cost, because self-hosting is a genuine alternative here. Most customers take it: €20 + €15 + €5 = €40/month all in.
