This article provides detailed information on eRoaming and the billing of charging sessions conducted via the eRoaming charging network.
What is eRoaming?
Charging stations from individual providers usually do not cover an entire area. Nevertheless, drivers of electric vehicles need widespread access to charge their vehicles.
To address this, there are various eRoaming networks that allow users to access charging stations from different providers using just one charging card. The concept is similar to using mobile contracts while roaming abroad.
With eRoaming activated, you allow customers of eMobility Providers (EMPs) to charge at your infrastructure. This makes your charging infrastructure publicly accessible.

Billing of eRoaming Charging Sessions
For eRoaming charging sessions, the payout price is contractually defined, as reev handles the marketing of your charging service. You can find the current payout amounts in the eRoaming user group section of your reev platform. Drivers are billed according to the tariff they have agreed upon with their eMobility Provider.
Billing for eRoaming sessions is handled monthly by reev. A €0.35 fee applies per payout via our payment service provider Stripe. Revenue generated in one month will be credited to your business account on the first day of the month after next.
The billing process includes the following steps:
Billing for eRoaming charging sessions is done by reev after the end of each month. For example, for sessions in May 2024, the invoice to the eMobility Providers will be created at the beginning of June 2024.
The eMobility Providers then invoice their customers for the charging sessions. The timing and method of this billing are arranged directly between the driver and their eMobility Provider.
As an operator, you will receive the revenues from eRoaming sessions through the monthly payout from Stripe to your designated business account. For example, for charging sessions conducted in May 2024, the payout will be made at the beginning of July 2024.
You can find the corresponding invoice document in your reev platform under the Billing menu, Invoices & Documents section, eRoaming tab.
