On the Price setting tab of the charge site you determine what a charging session costs. All the amounts you fill in are excluding VAT; the VAT is added on top on the driver's invoice.

Who sets their own price
Only with the Public subscription do you set your tariff yourself. With the other plans the price automatically follows the CREG tariff:
| Subscription | Price for the driver |
|---|---|
| Occasional Public | CREG tariff plus 20% mark-up, plus 1.50 euro starting fee per public session |
| Low Public | CREG tariff plus 10% mark-up |
| Public | Your tariff plus 0.02 euro per kWh |
| Employee home charging station (split billing) | CREG tariff; the employer pays 0.02 euro per kWh mark-up |
| Owners' association | The tariff the owners' association sets, see Charging in an apartment building (owners' association) |
The CREG tariff
Under CREG tariff you choose at Rate:
- Regional CREG rate: the average tariff of the region in which the charge site is located. This is the default.
- Federal CREG rate: the lowest of the three regional tariffs, the same for everyone.
- Off: you set a kWh price yourself. Only possible with the Public subscription.
What the CREG tariff is and how it is calculated each quarter is explained in Split billing and CREG tariffs. If you fill in a kWh price yourself on a Public charge site, the CREG tariff automatically jumps to Off.
Your own tariff
Under Price kWh you find the KWh fee: what you receive per charged kWh, excluding VAT. Most owners only fill in this field. Open Advanced price setting for the other components:
| Field | What it charges |
|---|---|
| Starting price | A fixed amount per charging session. |
| Price per hour | An amount per hour of charging time. |
| Inactivity price per hour | An amount per hour that the car stays connected after charging: a parking tariff against blocking the charge point. It counts up to eight hours at most. |
| Inactivity deferral time | The number of minutes after the end of charging before the parking tariff starts running. 30 minutes by default. |
The time tariffs are per hour, not per minute. A session of 197 minutes of charging at 1 euro per hour costs 3.29 euro in time charges.
Maximum prices for AC charge points
For charge points with alternating current (AC, up to 22 kW) there is a ceiling:
| Component | Maximum |
|---|---|
| kWh price (Public subscription) | 2.5 times the CREG tariff; the form shows the amount next to the field |
| Price per hour | 1.00 euro per hour |
| Inactivity price per hour | 1.00 euro per hour |
The form does not accept a higher amount. Fast chargers with direct current (DC) have no ceiling.
What the driver pays
The driver pays your tariff, plus the Wattify mark-up from the table at the top, plus VAT. If they charge with an external charge card (roaming), the margin of their charge card issuer is added on top of that.
An example with the Public subscription and a kWh fee of 0.29 euro: Wattify charges every charge card issuer 0.31 euro per kWh, without exception, as the European AFIR rules prescribe. A driver who charges with a Wattify charge card or through the QR code pays that 0.31 euro plus VAT. A driver with a charge card from Shell, Eneco or another issuer pays the margin of that issuer on top; in the Benelux that usually works out at between 0.55 and 0.75 euro per kWh. Wattify has no view on those margins and cannot influence them. Questions about such a price go to the charge card issuer.
For regular users with a charge card you can set a different price; see Linking charge cards and giving a preferential tariff. For drivers using the QR code you can give a discount with Discount codes.
What you receive
You receive your own tariff, excluding VAT, less the discount codes you handed out yourself. You pay your energy supplier for the electricity the charge point consumes, so set your kWh fee high enough to cover that cost. When and how you are paid out is explained in Your payouts.
Fast chargers and payment terminals
For fast chargers from 50 kW the AFIR regulation requires a payment terminal. Wattify offers the Payter integration for that; ask about it at support@wattify.be. Dynamic prices based on the day prices of the electricity exchange are also possible for fast chargers on request.
