The "pay as you go" model at Cariqa allows users to pay directly for each charging session at the prices set by Charging Point Operators (CPOs). This approach provides flexibility and transparency by eliminating the need for a subscription. Users can see the exact cost before starting their charging session and only pay for what they use, ensuring a more user-friendly and fair experience compared to a subscription model where customers may pay for unused services.
How will I know the cost of charging before I start?
When you select a charging point in the Cariqa app, the price for charging will be displayed upfront. This way, you can make an informed decision before starting your charging session.
Are there any additional fees with the PAYG model?
Cariqa may charge a small, fixed service fee for each successful charging session, but only if energy is delivered and the station is operated by a non-partner CPO. For stations operated by Cariqa’s CPO partners (distinguishable by the neon yellow marker), no service fee will apply. Regardless of the station, any applicable fee will be clearly displayed before charging begins. Additionally, Cariqa will not modify the prices set by the CPOs, ensuring that the prices shown for each station are the direct rates from the CPO.
