FAQ
Quick answers
Do I need an EV charger already?
Yes—EV Charge Me works with an existing Level 2 charger at the property.
Which connector should I choose: Tesla or J1772?
Pick the connector that matches your setup. Each box includes an adapter so drivers can handle either plug type.
How do Airbnb guests get access?
Hosts can set a unit to private and share an access code with guests.
How do hosts get paid?
Hosts are credited when a session ends, with withdrawals available once funds clear (weekly).
What happens if a driver reserves and doesn't show up?
Reservations include a 15-minute arrival window. Missing it triggers a $5 no-show fee.
