Powering Up Your EV with SWTCH: A Simple Guide to Payment

Charging your electric vehicle (EV) should be easy and seamless, and with SWTCH, it's designed to be just that. Forget fumbling for different payment methods; SWTCH streamlines the entire process using a credit card-linked wallet system. Once your payment information is set up, everything is automatic.

Your SWTCH Wallet: How Payments Work

SWTCH operates on a convenient wallet system that simplifies your charging experience:

1. First Charge, Automatic Top-Up: When you plug in for your very first charging transaction with SWTCH, you don't need to manually top up your wallet. Simply add your credit card information to your account, and you can start charging right away. The system will automatically initiate an initial $10 wallet top-up to ensure you have sufficient funds for your session.
2. Seamless Deductions: As your EV charges, the cost of the electricity consumed is automatically deducted from your SWTCH wallet balance. This ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing you to focus on your charging session, not on payment.
3. Auto-Reload for Continuous Charging: To ensure you always have enough balance to charge, SWTCH's system includes an auto-reload feature. If your wallet balance falls below zero at any point, $10 will be automatically added to your wallet using your linked credit card. This means you'll rarely, if ever, encounter a situation where you can't charge due to insufficient funds.
4. Manual Top-Up Option: While auto-reload keeps things smooth, you also have the flexibility to manually top up your wallet whenever you choose. This feature is readily available in the Wallet portion of the SWTCH App, allowing you to add funds at your convenience.

Getting Started with SWTCH Payments

Since SWTCH exclusively uses a credit card-based wallet system, getting started is straightforward:

• Link Your Credit Card: Through the SWTCH mobile app or web platform, you'll simply add your preferred credit card details to your account. Related article here: Adding a Payment Method
• Plug In and Charge: Once your credit card is linked, you're ready to start. The system handles the initial $10 wallet top-up on your first charge, and all subsequent payments are deducted automatically or through your manual top-ups.

This integrated approach ensures that your charging process is as smooth and convenient as possible, letting you focus on the road ahead.
