Guests pay per charging session for the energy they use. Usage is tracked and reported monthly so there is a clear record rather than guesswork.
Pricing is agreed with LetsVolt as part of the commercial terms rather than changed ad hoc, so guests get a consistent, transparent price at every participating property.
