More sockets, more grant: every extra socket adds up to £500 of grant, up to 200 sockets.

Tenants charging at home overnight use the same socket most nights. Even at a fair tariff, the margin builds up. These are your numbers, not a promise. Margin is what drivers pay above your electricity cost. The app's admin fee is paid by drivers, so you have no monthly fees.
