Community Charging
Community Charging is our billing solution that helps station owners offer their charge points to specific user groups, with all the admin and payment processing taken care of by vaylens.
EV charging needs to be more accessible
Station owners and EV drivers still face annoying obstacles when it comes to workplace and residential charging.
Time-consuming management
Manually managing billing, payments and user access takes up valuable time and resources for busy station owners.
Limited pricing control
Station owners struggle to offer flexible and competitive rates for groups like employees or tenants, making electric mobility hard to embrace for both parties.
Inconvenient access for drivers
EV drivers often deal with unclear pricing and confusing access to charging points, leaving them anxious and overwhelmed–and station owners out of pocket.
The answer for busy charging station owners
Easily share charge points for workplace and residential charging while we handle billing, payments and admin. This way, you’ve got full control of your prices without the hassle.
vaylens handles all contracting, billing and payment processing for your charging stations at no added cost. Community Charging is fully integrated into your vaylens account, so you can monetise your stations without the added contracts and complexity.
Offer rates for groups like employees or tenants while keeping standard prices for other drivers if you’re also offering public charging with vaylens–and display your rates upfront for full transparency. Plus, convenient monthly billing creates a predictable and hassle-free experience for everyone.
Community Charging runs entirely through your vaylens account with no third-party charging app provider involved. You keep full control over your pricing, data and customer relationships without extra contracts or lengthy admin flows.
