How drivers pay — no app, no account required
Pay as you go
A small card check to start, then they're billed for exactly the kWh they use. Stops automatically at R500.
Prepaid
Slide to any amount from R50–R500 up front. Charging stops at that ceiling — simple and certain.
Wallet
Regulars sign in once with an email code, top up, and start with one tap — the exact cost comes off their balance.
Walk-ups scan a QR and pay in the browser. Networks with repeat drivers get accounts, balances and receipts across every charger — still no app to install.
One protocol. Every charger.
Zoom out and the whole network resolves — charge points across South Africa, colour-coded live, with current flowing between the cities they power.
