GridCars unveils subscription model where home charging gives public-charging rewards
Electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator and owner GridCars has announced a new EV driver subscription programme that connects home charging with public charging, giving EV owners an opportunity to earn rewards every time they charge at home.
Under this programme, customers earn R1 in public-charging rewards for every verified 1 kWh charged at home.
The rewards can be redeemed at any GridCars public charging location.
The planned standard subscription price is R299 a month. As part of the launch offer, however, customers who register in August will pay R99 a month for the first six subscription months at the minimum, with the first subscription month beginning in September.
Home-charging activity is securely verified using charger telemetry and certified meter data.
Qualifying energy includes electricity supplied from the grid, as well as electricity generated by the customer’s own solar installation, provided the energy is delivered through the registered charger and can be verified by the GridCars platform.
The new charging programme is designed to bring the customer’s home and public-charging experience together through one connected platform, says CEO Winstone Jordaan.
He says the programme gives EV owners additional value from the charging infrastructure they already use every day.
“Most EV charging takes place at home, but the customer’s home and public-charging experiences have traditionally remained separate. This programme connects the two. Every verified kilowatt-hour charged at home contributes towards the customer’s next public-charging session.”
