Your first ten chargers, live and earning, in a week
The gap between "the chargers are installed" and "the chargers are earning" is where most new operators lose three months. You need drivers to be able to pay, tariffs that reflect your electricity cost, receipts your accountant accepts, and a way to know when a unit goes down. None of that is your business; all of it is required before your business exists.
New charge point operator
Does this sound familiar
Where you probably are right now
- 01You have between two and fifty connectors, installed or on order.
- 02Your capital is in hardware and civil work, not in a software team.
- 03You need to be collecting payments before your loan repayments start.
- 04Your site partners are already asking when they will be paid.
What gets in the way
The problems, and what answers each one
Every answer links to the feature that does the work, so you can check the claim rather than take it.
Drivers cannot pay at your chargers
QR-code charging works from the phone browser on the first visit — no app install, no account creation before the driver has seen your price. UPI, cards and net banking are live from day one through your own merchant account.
You do not know what to charge
Start with a per-kWh rate against your landed electricity cost, add an idle fee to keep bays moving, and adjust with hour-of-day data once real sessions arrive. Tariff changes never rewrite past sessions.
A charger is down and you find out from a driver
Connectivity and connector state are monitored continuously. Offline and faulted units surface on the dashboard with the fault code decoded, and most resets can be done remotely.
Your site owner wants their share
Record the revenue-share terms once. The platform computes each partner’s earnings per session and produces a statement they can check line by line.
What changes
What you can do that you could not before
- Take your first paid session the day the charger connects
- Show a site owner their earnings without building a spreadsheet
- Know your utilisation per connector by the end of week one
- Answer a driver dispute with the meter values behind the session
Commercial shape
Usage-based, no subscription
Your risk in the first year is empty chargers. A platform fee that only applies when a session earns keeps your fixed costs where your revenue is — at zero until the site works.
How pricing worksQuestions
What people in your position ask
How long does onboarding take?
Configuring a tenant, tariffs and a payment gateway is a day’s work. Chargers appear as soon as they are pointed at the OCPP endpoint, which your installer can usually do in minutes per unit.
What if I switch charger brands later?
Nothing changes. zevOS is hardware-agnostic over OCPP, and your sessions, drivers and tariffs stay where they are.
Do I need my own payment gateway account?
Yes, and that is deliberate. Driver payments land in your own merchant account rather than passing through ours, so settlement timing is between you and your gateway and no one sits between you and your revenue.
