Setup Process
You don't need an IT team. You need a charger and 30 minutes.
Choose a compatible OCPP charger
Pick up a Level 2 OCPP-certified charger. Many are available on Amazon for $300–$800.
Connect it to JPlug (30 minutes)
Create a free JPlug account and enter the JPlug OCPP server URL in your charger's settings. The dashboard confirms when the connection is active.
Set your rate and start earning
Choose what you charge: per kWh, per hour, or flat per session. Drivers pay by card. Revenue deposits to your account on your schedule.
Benefits
Three things EV charging does for your business.
Direct charging revenue
Every session earns you money. Set your rate above your electricity cost and the difference is margin. With multiple chargers and steady foot traffic, this adds up to a real revenue line.
Longer dwell time
Customers who are charging while they eat or shop stay longer. A 45-minute charge at a restaurant is a 45-minute customer. EV drivers spend more at businesses where they charge.
Competitive differentiation
"We have EV charging" is now a reason someone chooses your parking lot over the one across the street. It attracts EV drivers and shows up on Google Maps, PlugShare, and EV charging apps.
Management
The dashboard is a single screen. You check it like you check your POS.
- Which chargers are in use right now
- How much revenue you've collected this week and this month
- Any faults or offline chargers (with email alerts so you don't have to check)
- Session history with timestamps and payment amounts
No command line. No vendor calls. No IT tickets. If a charger goes offline, we send you an alert. If a driver has a payment dispute, you see the session receipt.
Investment
Installation is a one-time cost. Management is free to start.
Charger hardware
$300–$800
Level 2, OCPP-certified, from Amazon or wholesale
Installation
$500–$2,000
Depending on your electrical setup (licensed electrician, standard 240V circuit)
JPlug subscription
Free
Your first charging station is free. $25/month per additional charger. No percentage of your charging revenue.
Most locations with moderate EV traffic recover hardware and installation costs within 12–18 months from charging fees alone — before counting the value of increased dwell time and new customers.

Bayview Yards is a heritage building in Ottawa that serves as an innovation hub and co-working space for entrepreneurs and startups. When they decided to add EV charging to their parking lot, they wanted a solution that was flexible, fast to deploy, and could serve both employees during the day and the surrounding neighbourhood after hours.
