In addition to attractiveness the charging stations offer an economic benefit for hotels and restaurants that offer parking for their customers. Additional services for visitors like charging stations also bring additional revenue. Prices and payment system can be determined by the operator individually according to their own needs. Integration into already established billing systems such as evmapa  provides another source of income.
Easy integration of a RFID hotel card for the hotel guests to use for charging their electric vehicle at any time during their stay. Guests will return the RFID card upon departure and will be charged the kWh consumed directly on the hotel account. The hotel can set individual prices per kWh through HEVN Cloud, track recharging processes and real-time kWh volumes and pass on this information to their accounting and billing system. It is possible to accurately monitor the consumption of kWh even if the RFID card is lost.

The customers can start recharging their electric cars by a smartphone application at the price set by the retailer. There are number of pricing and billing models available. Payment terms can be defined through Cloud, which may be free of charge for a certain period of time, or a set rate per minute or hour, or even can offer rebates and savings by the store. The complete charging infrastructure can be monitored and managed centrally from one location.
There is also a possibility to use the advertising space on the charger to advertise sales and specials. The store offering parking spots with charging stations are showing a positive attitude towards customers and their requirements for modern environmental technology. Smaller retailers offering charging stations as a service express greater proximity to their customers and emphasize their demand for modern, environmentally friendly technology for the future.
