An easy way to earn recurring revenue
Tap earns from drivers, so the core platform is free for you and your customers. That lets installers and operators build a recurring revenue business directly with their customers.
Tap offers installers the possibility to generate a recurring revenue stream they can rely on:
- Custom Service Plans: set up service fees that you agree per customer, such as a percentage split of the total charging tariff.
Everything you need to run your customers' chargers, for any type of site
Load balancing, built in
Put more chargers on the same grid connection without tripping the fuse. Tap shares the available power across your chargers automatically, and you can start without extra hardware.
Included for free
Standard on every account:
- Static load management: set one capacity limit and Tap shares it across the chargers in use.
- Power schedules: cap charging by time of day, with an optional override for drivers in a hurry.
- Random start delay: staggers session starts to support the grid, as required in the UK.
Premium add-ons
Priced per charger, on top of the free platform:
- Dynamic load balancing: reacts to live meter readings to use every free amp of your grid connection, including separate limits for circuits. Works with the Charge-m8 Libra or your own meter via our API.
- Charge Control via API: send your own charging profiles from an energy management system.
Works with the chargers you already install
Tap works with any OCPP 1.6J charger, and we work closely with leading hardware brands so setup is quick.
