Tariffs can be set by choosing Pricing tab from Organisation tab. Currently tariffs apply to all stations in your organisation as they are set at organisation level. In case you want to have different tariffs for different stations, you can create a sub-organisation and move wanted pools there, and then apply different tariffs to sub-organisation. Note that all tariffs edited in this page are CPO tariffs. Currently the EMP price is just default added percentage share on top of the CPO tariff for EMPs. As a default, EMP price is CPO price / 0.8. Possibility to change the share and add discount percentages for specific EV driver groups is coming but currently it is not possible. From this point on, when talking about tariffs, CPO tariffs are referred.
This article is valid for organisations using V2 pricing system. If your organisation is using Default pricing (also known as Basic pricing), Pricing page looks like this and you can edit AC and DC tariffs by clicking edit icon in top right corner. More advanced options for price setting are available only once organisation is switched to V2 pricing system.
If your organisation is using v2 pricing, you can see your default prices in Pricing page. Prices can be set separately to AC, DC under 100 kW or DC over 100 kW. All categories can have prices set minute based, energy based and in addition you can have session fee which applies to all sessions regardless how much energy or time is used, and you can also set that first X minutes are free, and the minute based pricing applies only after that grace period. In v2 pricing, you as a CPO set the price you will get, and EV driver usually sees and pays higher price.
If you want to have different tariffs depending on the time of the week, you can add alternate tariffs on the side module which can be found in right hand side. You can create multiple alternate tariffs and also create multiple alternate tariffs applied to same hours and days a week, but naturally only one tariff can be activated per time. If the time slot has no active alternate tariff, default tariff is used. You need to give name for a tariff to differentiate it from other possible alternate tariffs. Timezone is always the same as your organisation's default timezone. Tariffs can be set by hours, half hours are not supported at the moment. If you want to set tariff which last the whole night, you need to set two tariffs - for first day, from for example 21:00-24:00 and for the second day from 0:00-09:00.
The green toggle shows which tariffs are activated at the moment. You can deactivate tariff using the toggle. You can also edit or delete existing alternate tariffs if you wish.
Example how charging price is calculated with multiple alternate tariffs activated:
Hour prices:
Charge: Wednesday 15.02.2023 10:22:00 - 15.02.2023 15:30
The charge has started in alternate tariff 1, so it has 68 free minutes. The charge has:
-
38m in alternate tariff 1 (10:22 - 11:00), which are all free
-
4h in default tariff (11:00 - 15:00), of which 30 minutes are free (68 - 38 = 30)
-
30m in alternate tariff 3

Charge kwh intervals generated based on the meter values:
[{"start_time": "2023-03-15 09:30:00", "end_time" : "2023-03-15 09:50:00", "watt_hour": 2000},

We calculate the price per kWh, per second:
-
2023-03-15 09:30:00-2023-03-15 09:50:002 kWh * 10$ = 20$ -
2023-03-15 09:50:00-2023-03-15 10:10:0020 kWh in 2 different alternate tariffs, we calculate how many kWh per second and then calculate the price based on how many seconds in each alternate tariff:
1200 seconds and 20 kWh in the interval
=> 20 kW / 1200s = 0,016666667 kWh per second
600 seconds in the 1st alternate tariff: 600s * 0,016666667 kWh = 10 kWh; 10 kWh * 10$ = 100$
600 seconds in the 2nd alternate tariff: 600s * 0,016666667 kWh = 10 kWh; 10 kWh * 1$ = 10$

More info about tariffs:
Tariffs inserted in Tariff page is what your organisation will receive from transactions, but for example VAT or Virta margin might be subtracted. In general, prices set in Virta Hub generally include VAT but depending on your operating country, there might be exceptions to that. Drivers might see higher tariffs based on other fees, if for example loyalty percentage is activated. (Note: loyalty pricing is not yet supported on the Virta Hub but the functionality is coming in 2023.)
