RoadToEV supports all BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) that are in the North American marketplace and need to be charged using Level 2/3 chargers. If there is a specific vehicle year/make/model that is not listed for selection, please let us know and we would be glad to add it to our list.
RoadToEV allows charger owners to specify the charging cost (based on their electricity rates). System determines total electricity consumed during charging based on maximum battery charging rate in the vehicle as well as the charger's throughput, and time charged. There is also a nominal fee charged by the RoadToEV for processing the transaction.
RoadToEV app allows the vehicle owner to "cancel charging" within 15 min of starting to charge. So after plugging in the charger, vehicle owners can verify that charging has successfully started. If not, they can click on the "cancel charging" button on the app and they will not be billed.
RoadToEV will limit billing based on total battery capacity of the vehicle. So you should not be billed more than 100% typical capacity of the battery based on your make/model.
Owners of the chargers are encouraged to put a lockbox around the charger, to ensure the charger is not used without authorization. This can be added to the RoadToEV charger settings and code is shown to the vehicle owners when they are very close to the charger physically.
Electricity theft, like other thefts, is a crime. RoadToEV does keep track of users near a charger, so if a theft occurs, we can work with authorities if required. If a vehicle user or owner repeatedly does this, then their account would be banned from the RoadToEV system.
RoadToEV does not work with utility companies and does not help you pay your electricity bill. Charger owners are solely responsible for maintaining their account in good standing with local electricity providers and payment of all electric bills. Please work with a local electric company and know the electricity usage rules to see if you can make your chargers available for public use, prior to signing up your charger on the RoadToEV app.
