Pay-per-Use via In-App Tokens
How much does the app cost to use?
Users buy in-app tokens to fuel the app. Token prices are listed in the app and vary by country but are approximately 10 cents USD per token. These tokens are used to start charging sessions at the stations. However, users must also pay station owners directly for using the station, through the payment methods chosen by each station owner. The app generates bills, making the payment process convenient and flexible without involving a middleman.
The benefits of the pay-per-use model include:
- No Subscription Fees: Users are not required to pay a monthly subscription fee, making it a cost-effective option for occasional EV drivers.
- 10 Free Starter Tokens: New users receive 10 free tokens when they sign up, allowing them to experience the app and charging process without any initial cost.
- Affordability: Users pay only for the time they use the charging station, making it an economical option.
- No Upfront Costs: Station owners can offer charging services without any initial investment, as the pay-per-use model eliminates the need for expensive infrastructure.
- Simplicity: The straightforward pricing structure ensures that users know exactly what they are paying for, enhancing transparency and trust.
- Flexibility: Users can charge their vehicles as needed without committing to a subscription or membership, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
- Convenient Payment System: Users buy tokens in the app to start charging sessions, and monthly bills are generated based on the time used, simplifying the payment process.
- Volume Discounts: Purchase token packs of 5, 15, or 30 tokens and save precious pennies. How much more affordable can it get?
Why is it so affordable?
We have run simulations to determine the cost of running our servers with 10,000 daily active users and estimate we only need $0.12/session to be more than profitable. As we reach that number of users, we will re-evaluate our costs and adjust the token price accordingly. We are committed to keeping the cost of using EVnSteven as low as possible, so that more people can benefit from the service at scale. Our systems are designed to support millions of users, and we are confident that we can maintain or reduce our already low prices as we grow.
This model not only makes EV charging accessible and affordable for users but also incentivizes property owners to install charging stations by removing financial barriers. The pay-per-use approach supports the broader adoption of electric vehicles by making charging infrastructure more widely available.
