EVesto Launches the Most Accurate Dynamic Pricing Model for EV Charging

EVesto Partners with Webfleet

Today, EVesto announces the launch of its innovative Dynamic Pricing feature, setting a new standard for accuracy and flexibility in EV charging. Powered by Entso-E, Europe’s leading source of electricity market data, Dynamic Pricing empowers Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to align their tariffs with actual, up-to-date electricity costs, ensuring every charging session is fair and transparent

Dynamic Pricing Key Benefits

  • Accurate, Actual Pricing: EVesto uses Entso-E’s data to update tariffs based on actual electricity costs, building customer trust with market-aligned pricing.
  • Revenue Control: Fixed Margins ensure CPOs maintain profitability, while Min/Max tariffs stabilize rates, even during volatile times.
  • Eco-Friendly Charging: By encouraging charging during renewable energy availability, Dynamic Pricing appeals to eco-conscious EV drivers.

In a recent study, 23% of Dutch EV drivers reported high satisfaction with dynamic pricing, and 31% are considering the switch. EVesto’s new feature responds to this demand, positioning it as the most accurate, customer-focused actual pricing model on the market.
