EV OS offers a comprehensive pricing setup that allows users to define various fees throughout the charging process.
To configure the pricing:
1. Navigate to the Site Directory
2. Select a site and click the pencil icon to enter Entry Settings.
3. From Entry Settings, go to the Pricing tab. This tab displays all the available AC and DC stations within a site that can be configured.
The Setup
Start by determining the pricing method: Charge by Energy, Charge by Time, or Free Charging.
Note: If a charging session overlaps both regular and peak hour pricing, the system will apply the rate that was in effect at the time the session began.

DC Charger Specific Settings
DC chargers’ pricing settings are largely the same as their AC counterparts, except there are no peak hour pricing and tiered pricing structures. This is because DC chargers are primarily used for quick charging sessions, making a simpler pricing model more suitable.
