One of the most important elements you want to make sure the solution provides for is billing and monitoring.
Every smart charger installed by metroEV is fully equipped for billing and monitoring. With smart charging, there is no need for submeters or additional hardware. Usage data is collected directly from your charger and processed by ChargeLab’s (metroEV’s software provider) platform for billing.
As an example, with a Level 2 charger the average electricity cost is $0.80 per hour. Setting the hourly rate that users are charged at $2.00 will both cover costs and facilitate a return on the investment.
metroEV supports both types of multi-family charging: community charging, where EV chargers are installed in visitor parking spots to be shared by multiple residents; and dedicated charging, where each resident gets their own EV charger in their private parking space.
Our exclusive provider of charger management software is ChargeLab. We’ve chosen to work with this Canadian supplier because of the flexibility and convenience of their platform.
