Variable Pricing for SWTCH chargers

SWTCH Chargers can be Private - Shared, Private - Individual or Public. 

They can also differ in usage rate and billing structure, depending on what the charger owner defines.

Here are the different usage rates that a SWTCH Charger can be configured to bill:

1. Hourly - Customers are billed according to how long the vehicle is charging for. There are different ways for this to be implemented. 
   • Fixed Hourly - the rate will not change, whether the charging session last 1 hour or 5 hours. Example: $2/hr
   • Variable Hourly: the rate will change depending on how long the session lasts. Example: $1/hr for first 3 hours, $4/hr after thereafter
   • Fixed with loitering penalties: Loitering penalties are designed to ensure that once a vehicle is done charging, it does not remain in the EV charging space, preventing others from charging. Example: $1/hr, loitering penalty of $10/hr while not actively charging (status-based) OR $1/hour + $5/hour loitering after 30 minutes
2. Per kWh - Customers are billed according to how much power they receive. Example: $0.5/kWh. Please note that loitering charges may still apply once the vehicle is done charging.
3. Time of day - Customer are billed according to what time they charge. This can be applied for both hourly and wattage based. Example: 12am-5:59am > $0.26/kWh; 6am-3:59pm > $0.42 /kWh; OR 4pm-8:59pm > $0.67/kWh; 9pm-11:59pm > 0.60/hr 9pm to 9am, $2.20/hr 9am to 9pm.
