Fixed operating costs

How utilization is calculated. 20% means that monthly energy delivery equals 20% of the station’s theoretical maximum: rated power × 24 hours × number of operating days. This is equivalent to 4.8 hours at full rated power per day — not 4.8 hours of continuous charging for every vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an EV charging station take to pay back?
The payback period depends on the total investment, actual utilization of the location, charging service tariff, electricity cost, billing fees and fixed operating expenses. The calculator provides an indicative estimate; an investment decision should be based on a financial model for the specific site.
What monthly financial result can an EV charging station generate?
The result depends mainly on actual delivered energy and the difference between the charging service tariff and variable operating costs. In the calculator, utilization is entered as a percentage of the station’s theoretical maximum and the main cost assumptions can be adjusted manually.
What investment costs should be included in an EV charging project?
Total CAPEX is not limited to the charging station itself. It may also include installation, cabling, electrical protection, grid connection, engineering and construction work. That is why the calculator includes a separate field for additional initial project costs.
How is the charging service tariff set?
The site owner or operator sets the charging service tariff according to the chosen business model. The financial model should also include electricity costs, billing fees, fixed costs and other operating conditions.
What should be considered before commercial launch?
The legal and tax structure depends on the project format and the roles of the site owner and charging infrastructure operator. Before commercial launch, the applicable requirements should be reviewed for the specific operating model.
Do I need technical expertise to operate the charging station?
Special technical training is not required for day-to-day monitoring. UGV Chargers supports remote monitoring, station management and operation through the software platform. Service and technical support arrangements are defined for each project.
