A billing software platform tracks the electricity usage from an EV charger, allowing the owner to cover the associated costs. EV owners can sign up to an account with a billing software platform provider and connect their credit card to this account. The software then tracks the monthly electricity consumption at their charger and bills them accordingly, either through direct debit or an invoice. The software provider then collects these payments from all owners and forwards the total to the OC, ensuring that the OC is fully compensated for any additional consumption costs due to EV charging.
