Why Managing EV Charger Access is a Must

Picture this: You’ve just installed a dozen EV chargers at your 100+ unit property. Tenants have been asking for them, you’ve done some surveys to predict demand, and you’re expecting to see that nice bump in tenant satisfaction… maybe you’ve even decided to make charging free for the first month to celebrate!

But wait… why is your maintenance team being flooded with complaints from tenants saying their chargers are occupied? Why are your charger electricity bills shooting up way past projections? And who are all these non-residents lurking in your parking lot, using your free charging?

The importance of managing access

Without charger access management, all that work towards future-proofing your properties can actually make your tenants’ lives harder. You want your chargers to help attract and retain EV driving tenants, but that’s no good if those chargers are always being used by someone else!

EV charger access management is a necessary part of your EV charging solution to ensure your residents benefit the most from your chargers.

How Flipturn simplifies charger access management

1. Easy configuration of user access groups

Maybe you want your residents to charge for free, your employees to charge at a reduced rate, and the public to charge at a higher fixed fee? Flipturn enables infinitely customizable user configurations by letting you group users into access / payment plans by email or phone number.

2. PIN codes

Manually managing access lists can be a hassle, especially if you often have temporary visitors. With our PIN access feature, simply give your guests a PIN code for their charger, like you would a WiFi password.

3. Charger Dashboard

See who is charging at what charger at all times, making your maintenance team’s job super easy: when a tenant calls, you know exactly which charger has issues.
