Why host
A reason to stop. A reason to stay.
New customers.
Drivers pick their stops by where they can charge. Your site becomes the stop.
Longer visits.
Twenty to forty minutes per session, every session. That's a meal, not a coffee.
On the map.
Your site is listed in the SAEV app and pushed live to Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze and in-car navigation as a charging destination.
Zero cost.
We fund, build, own, insure and maintain the station. You don't touch a cable.
Your maximum demand does not move.
The battery charges slowly, off-peak, at a rate we agree with you, so it adds nothing to your chargeable demand. It goes in the agreement.
Two models
Own the asset, or own none of the cost.
Host a station
Best for: Sites that want charging revenue with no capital outlay
Own a station
Best for: Property funds, fuel retailers and corporates with capex budget and an ESG mandate
Same team. Same station. Same 15%. The only question is who owns the steel.
The money
One statement. Four lines. No guesswork.
Each month, for a SAEV-owned station:
Monthly statement · SAEV-owned station
- 01
We read the grid meter, split by time-of-use period.
- 02
We reimburse you for every kWh at your own tariff for that period. Cost price.
- 03
We pay you 15% of gross session revenue.
- 04
If there's a carport, surplus solar exported into your building is credited at the agreed rate.
Host portal
Your station, live.
All four lines in the host portal, with a VAT invoice. If the electricity line doesn't match your Eskom bill, you'll know before we do.
- Station status and active sessions in real time.
- Energy drawn and solar exported, per kWh.
- Earnings session by session.
- Payouts on request or on a schedule.
- Statements and tax invoices as PDF.
Solar carport
Less grid. More sun.
Shade for your customers' cars. Solar straight into the battery. Surplus into your building, in the exact hours you'd otherwise be paying the grid the most. Sized per site.
The right site
Not every site. The right sites.
Three contiguous bays in a sensible spot
Worth a 30-minute stop: food, coffee, retail, decent toilets
From 10 kW spare on your supply
Lit, visible, ideally open late
A time-of-use tariff helps. On a flat business rate, we can often show you a cheaper option first.
