Illustrative gross estimate. Real earnings depend on your site, traffic, and tariff. Pitvolt's small fee is deducted before payout.

03 - The deal, in plain terms

No subscription. No hidden cut.

04 - Who it's for

If cars park there, it can earn there.

05 - Is your site a fit?

A quick self-check before you write.

If most of these are true, you're a strong host candidate.

  • At least one outdoor parking space you can dedicate to a charger.
  • Power on site - or willingness for us to discuss an upgrade.
  • 24/7 access to the parking space.
  • Ideally near amenities - food, restrooms, a place to sit.
  • You want a new revenue line with no hardware bill.
06 - FAQ

The questions every host asks.

What does it cost to join?

Nothing upfront. The charger is yours - plugging it into Pitvolt is free. There is no subscription: we take a small fee per charge, and you keep the rest.

How and when do I get paid?

Automatically. Each session is settled on real meter data, and your payout goes to your Mobile Money or bank account. You see every session and the exact GHS it earned in your dashboard.

Who maintains the charger?

The unit is yours, so the hardware side stays with you - most wallboxes are low-touch. Everything network-side is on us: the software, payments, payouts, and monitoring. Your dashboard flags a charger the moment it drops offline.

How do drivers find my charger?

It appears in the Pitvolt driver app with live availability, connector type, and your tariff. Drivers nearby see it on the map and start a session with a code - you do nothing.

Will EV drivers actually show up?

Ghana has thousands of EVs and only a handful of public chargers, all in Accra. Demand isn't the problem - supply is. That's the whole reason Pitvolt exists.

Can I set my own price?

Yes. You set the tariff per kWh, and you can pause the charger whenever you need the space. You stay in control.

Every mark is drawn from vendor product pages or documentation. Where a vendor does not publish an answer, we mark it "Not documented" rather than assume the worst.

Built-in payouts.

Hosts get paid without wiring up a separate payment service. Destination changes are two-person by design.

Durable stop.

A stop command refuses to bill energy delivered after the stop-request time. A stuck cable never becomes a driver dispute.

Show-once credentials.

Station passwords are hashed at rest, shown once, and rotation is gated with a confirm dialog that names the real reconnect consequence.

Full-fidelity OCPP.

Raw wire frames per charger, per-connector status without rollup, and six remote commands including trigger-message.

90-day audit log.

Every admin action across chargers, payments, payouts, sessions, alerts, and workspaces, retained 90 days without an enterprise tier.

Failure-first console.

The Overview lands on offline chargers, stuck payments, faulted sessions, and unresolved alerts, deep-linked straight to the fix.
