Charge their car. Charge for their time.
The Pay Box car charger timer turns any standard EV outlet into a metered, paid charging station. Drivers pay by the minute or by the session, you set the rate, and no proprietary network takes a slice of the revenue.
The free outlet in your lot is costing you money.
Property owners are caught between two bad options: ignore EVs and lose guests, or install a branded network charger and lose the margin. There is a third option.
EV demand is here, infrastructure is not
Guests and tenants are arriving with electric vehicles and expecting somewhere to plug in. The properties that say "no" today are the properties they will not return to next year.
Free outlets get abused
Run an unmetered 120V outlet in your lot and you will inherit overnight charging for the entire neighborhood. Your power bill knows; your tenants do not.
Network chargers eat the margin
Branded EV networks take a transaction cut, lock you into their app, and dictate pricing. You wanted to add revenue, not become a franchisee.
Add metered EV charging without joining a network.
The Pay Box car charger timer sits between your existing electrical service and any standard EV outlet — 120V trickle, or a 240V Level 2 EVSE. Drivers authorize a paid session, the outlet energizes, and the relay cuts power when their time expires.
You set the price. You keep 100% of the revenue. No transaction cut, no proprietary app required, no monthly platform fee. Pair it with the EVSE of your choice and you are running a paid charging station the same week.
Three steps from pull-in to plug-out.
Driver scans or taps
Driver pulls up, taps a card or scans the QR with the Pay Box app, and selects a duration.
Outlet energizes
The Pay Box switches the outlet on for the paid time and starts the countdown.
Session ends, power stops
The outlet de-energizes automatically. The driver gets a receipt; you get the revenue.
Drivers pay the way they already pay.
No app downloads required, no proprietary account creation, no friction between the driver and the charge.
Credit & Debit
Contactless card payment at the charger — no driver account required.
Mobile App
Drivers pay in the Pay Box app, see history, and save cards securely.
Prepaid Codes
Issue codes to long-stay guests, residents, or fleet drivers.
Owner Rates
You set the per-minute or per-session price and change it any time.
Any property with parking and a power panel.
If you control the electricity and the asphalt, you can run a paid EV charger. The Pay Box scales from a single stall to a full lot.
Hotels & motels
Turn a parking stall into an amenity that books the room.
Condos & apartments
Offer paid resident charging without rebuilding the electrical room.
Restaurants & cafés
Capture dinner-length charging revenue from EV diners.
Retail centers & malls
Pay-per-session charging that funds itself between shoppers.
Workplaces & offices
Recoup employee charging cost without managing reimbursements.
Marinas & RV resorts
Meter shore power and EV charging on the same metered outlet.
The lot was a sunk cost. Now it is a line item.
Operators report a metered EV outlet recovering its hardware and installation cost inside the first season at hotels, condos, and high-turnover retail lots. After that, every kWh sold runs at a margin the owner — not a network — keeps in full.
Your numbers depend on local electricity rates, your per-minute pricing, and the number of EVs that park on your property each week. See current pricing on the Buy page.
