Current

This graph illustrates the current usage of your charging stations.

  • The green line represents the current power (in kW) on your network of charging stations. kW represents the total instantaneous power delivered by the charge points at the specified time.
  • The grey line indicates the number of transactions.

Energy Usage

This graph is organized by day, week, month, or year and displays Energy Used and Energy Delivered in kWh.

  • Energy used: TThe energy charged to customer charge cards (e-MSP) at customer charge stations and/or within the roaming network.*
  • Energy delivered: The energy delivered by customer charge stations (CPO) to customer charge cards or third-party charge cards.*

*If a charge session applies to both options, it will be counted in both statistics, without exclusion.

Statistics

Consumed – The total energy consumed using your charge cards at your charge points and/or at third-party (roaming) charge points.*

Delivered – The total energy delivered by your charge points to your charge cards and/or third-party (roaming) charge cards.*

Number of transactions – The total number of transactions on your charging stations.

*If a charge session applies to both options, it will be counted in both statistics, without exclusion.

Energy with or without profit margin

This graph shows the percentage ratio between energy with a profit margin and energy without a profit margin.

  • The green line represents the percentage of energy with a profit margin, indicating the portion of energy delivered where you earn a profit based on the tariff used.
  • The grey line represents the percentage of energy delivered with no profit margin, including scenarios like the A0 tariff or home charging tariffs with zero profit margin for you as the provider.

Costs and benefits

Total (products/charging)

This report displays the amount of profit you, as the provider, earn from products and tariffs. The balance is the sum of these:

Product – is a sum of hosting product profit and charge card subscription profit:

  1. hosting product on your charge stations that you are reselling to your customers (hence you have a profit margin, calculated as: total price paid by customer for charge station hosting product – hosting paid to LMS (based on your contract with LMS) = profit margin)
  2. charge card subscription – these are either one time or monthly subscriptions you may charge your customers for using charge cards.

Tariff – The profit from charge transactions (hence from the tariffs).

Balance – represents the sum of Products and Tariffs, giving the total profit amount.

Customers (products/charging)

This report illustrates the amount of profit you, as the provider, earn from products and tariffs provided to your customers. The balance is the sum of these.

Providers (products/charging)

This report shows the amount of profit you, as the provider, earn from products and tariffs as a provider. The balance is the sum of these.

Roaming (products/charging)

This report displays the amount of profit you, as the provider, earn from products and tariffs related to roaming transactions. Typically, Products amount to zero since no products are charged within the roaming network. The balance is the sum of these.

Total (costs/benefits)

This report showcases the difference between the benefits (the profit you earn) and the costs you incur.

  • Profit – includes hosting product profits from your charge stations, charge card subscription earnings, and tariff margins.
  • Costs – encompass hosting products you pay for charge stations and the transaction costs for your customers using roaming stations.
