Chargespot gör det smidigt och enkelt för dig att ta betalt för elbilsladdning. Vi har utvecklat en tjänst där du slipper all administration och du som ägare får en samlad utbetalning för laddintäkter en gång i månaden. Erbjud de som laddar hos dig en smidig och säker elbilsladdning. Inga appar behövs, den som laddar kan betala direkt via Swish genom att scanna QR-koden som sitter på laddboxen. Har du återkommande gäster kan du välja att dina gäster ska ladda via RFID-tag och de behöver då inte swisha varje gång de vill ladda. De fyller enkelt på sin laddning plånbok med Swish genom Chargespot appen.
