When multiple drivers share an EV charger, the question naturally comes up: “How do we split the cost fairly?” A billing solution makes that answer simple.
When the person plugging in isn’t the one on the electricity account, billing makes the costs clear and fair – people pay for what they use. Billing looks a little different depending on the site:
- Private sites: apartments can use JET Charge Billing, managed by us end-to-end – drivers receive a monthly invoice for their usage, and costs are recovered simply and transparently. The building manager or owners corporation don’t pay and don’t need to lift a finger.
- Public sites: Public sites rely on networks like Chargefox or Evie Networks, where drivers create an account, pay through the app, and access thousands of chargers through the same system.
No matter the setup, the principle stays the same: billing makes charging fairer, scalable, and easier to manage. For sparkies, including billing is more than a technical step. It’s about setting clients up for success, creating installs that last, and positioning yourself as the electrician who thinks ahead.
Fairness Builds Confidence
Diagnosing the problem: Through our technical control over both sites, session insights via CORE and Illuminate, and our dedicated team of technicians and software engineers, JET Charge was able to diagnose the problem swiftly and with minimal disruption to bus service.
Fairness matters in every shared setup. Residents and tenants want confidence they’re only paying for what they use. Property managers want transparency they can rely on. And sparkies want installs that keep working without unnecessary call-backs.
Billing provides that clarity. It creates a simple, transparent system that everyone can trust. When people feel confident in the solution, they feel confident in the sparky who installed it. That’s the kind of trust that leads to repeat business.
Future-Proof from Day One
Australia’s EV uptake is moving fast, and demand for chargers is scaling just as quickly. What starts as a single charger for two cars can soon expand into multiple chargers across an entire apartment block.
With billing set up from day one, the system simply grows as demand grows – no rewiring, no headaches. That foresight doesn’t just save time and money; it shows you’re the electrician planning for tomorrow, not just today.
Billing Helps You Win Work
For the people signing off the job; whether that’s a body corporate, facilities manager, or a site owner, confidence matters as much as price. A sparky who talks about billing isn’t just quoting hardware, they’re presenting a complete, future-ready solution.
Billing shows you’ve thought beyond the box on the wall. You’re demonstrating that you understand the bigger picture: compliance, fairness, and the long-term function of the site. That perspective turns you from “another quote on the pile” into the EV charger installer they trust to deliver the project.

Billing doesn’t need to be complicated. Through the JET Charge Partner Store, sparkies can access a billing-ready solution that’s built to be seamless and simple. It integrates neatly into installs, takes the admin out of cost recovery for the building manager or owners corporation, and gives clients the transparency they’re looking for. Once you’ve purchased the hardware and indicated that your client wants billing – we take it from there – it doesn’t add complexity to your job.
