What is a parking fee?
A parking fee at charging stations refers to the costs that users must pay for parking their electric vehicle at a charging station. This fee, activated by the operator, is charged in addition to the actual charging costs. It begins after a certain time period once the vehicle is connected and helps regulate the availability of charging stations.
How can I activate the parking fee?
Note: The parking fee is currently only available for the "Drivers & Vehicles" user groups and eRoaming (with restrictions, see below).
To activate the parking fee, click on the pencil icon in the tariff tile of a user group (in the User Groups menu).
There, you can set a per-minute fee (e.g., €0.20 per minute) and choose when the fee should start (in 30-minute steps after the vehicle is connected, e.g. after 1.5 hours). You can also set a limit for parking fees. Once the limit is reached, no further parking fees will be charged for that session.
Where can I view the charged parking fee?
In the Monitoring menu, under the Charging History submenu, your recorded charging sessions are displayed. When you click on a specific session, various details, including parking fees, will appear in the sidebar (see image).

How do I activate the parking fee for eRoaming?
A parking fee of €0.12 per minute is automatically active, provided you have activated the eRoaming user group in your reev Platform. This fee applies under the following conditions:
AC charging stations: The fee is charged after 240 minutes of charging time.
DC charging stations: The fee is charged after 120 minutes of charging time.
The maximum fee is €12.
Use Cases
A vehicle is connected to an AC charging station and remains for more than 4 hours. After the 4th hour, additional parking fees apply for the user (€0.12 per minute, with a maximum of €12).
A vehicle is connected to a DC charging station and remains for more than 2 hours. After the 2nd hour, additional parking fees apply for the user (€0.12 per minute, with a maximum of €12).
The actual fees charged to drivers may differ from €0.12. This amount refers solely to the share passed on to you as the charging station operator from the E-Mobility Provider.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I adjust the price of the parking fees in eRoaming?
