For businesses

Pay as your
chargers earn

R 399 to get started. A 5% transaction fee on charging revenue. No expensive licence before your first session.

How the 5% works

Your chargers generate R 20,000 in a month. You keep R 19,000. Plug n Drive takes R 1,000. Add your plan at R 999 and your total cost is R 1,999. That is it. No hidden fees, no setup costs, no per-charger licences.

If your chargers generate nothing, you only pay the monthly plan. The commission only applies to actual revenue collected through the platform.
