Tariffs & pricing

A tariff defines what a charging session costs. In GitCharger you build tariffs once, then assign them to the chargers they apply to. Tariffs live under Settings → Tariffs.

How pricing is structured​

  • Tariff: a named, priced plan made up of components.
  • Components: the charges that make up a tariff. A tariff can combine:
    • a per-kWh energy rate (optionally tiered by energy delivered or by power band, so AC and DC can price differently),
    • a time rate (per minute or per hour) while charging,
    • an idle fee that starts after a grace period once charging finishes, and
    • a flat session fee.
  • Assignment: where a tariff applies, resolved by precedence connector > charger > location, with a company-wide default as the fallback.

Build a tariff​

  1. Go to Settings → Tariffs and open the catalog.
  2. Create a tariff (or adopt a catalog template), set its name and currency.
  3. Add components: energy, time, idle, and/or session, with any tiers or power bands.
  4. Save. Use the simulator to preview a sample session's cost before you publish.

Assign a tariff​

From Assignments, pick the tariff and the scope it applies to:

  • a specific connector,
  • a whole charger, or
  • a location (all its chargers), or the company-wide default.

The most specific active assignment wins (connector over charger over location).

note

Tariffs are a paid capability. If Tariffs is unavailable, check your role and plan.
