Revenue Sharing

New feature for E-Flux Enterprise customers

Written by Ksenia Vardzelova

Scale your B2B partnerships with Revenue Sharing

Established CPO networks are expanding further, new emerging CPOs are looking for location partners, and every new location adds users, transactions and commercial relationships. Sharing charging revenue with the location partners has often meant manual reconciliation and separate invoicing at month end.

We are excited to introduce Revenue Sharing - a feature that does it for you.

The solution enables operators to automate revenue distribution with location partners by splitting charging session fees for each session. Through location-level configuration, operators can set unique commercial terms per site, with each party receiving separate VAT-compliant invoices and automated monthly payouts.

How it Works

Energy cost can be split in one of two ways. Other costs (session, time, idle or parking fees) are split by percentage only.

Percentage split

A charge station sits on a location owner's grid connection. The operator agrees to reimburse a percentage of the energy cost. On a 100 kWh session at a tariff of 65 c/kWh, giving 65.00 euro of energy cost, a 30/70 split pays the operator 19.50 euro and the location owner 45.50 euro. If the tariff changes, the percentages recalculate proportionally with no reconfiguration.

Per kWh plus dynamic remainder

One party takes a fixed cents-per-kWh amount and the other absorbs whatever is left of the tariff. E.g. configure the operator at a fixed 30 c/kWh and the location owner as the remainder (or vice versa. Any party may be set as priority for reimbursement). On an AC session at 40 c/kWh the operator gets 30 c and the owner gets 10 c. On a DC session at 65 c/kWh the operator still gets 30 c and the owner gets 35 c. The operator's margin holds on every session, however often the tariff changes. This is the answer for customers running dynamic or scheduled pricing.

This split can also extend to more than two parties. Several parties take a fixed amount in priority order, and the remainder then goes to a selected party, which is useful for deals with more than one stakeholder on a site.

FAQs

Which E-Flux tiers can add Revenue Sharing?

Revenue Sharing is available for E-Flux Enterprise customers only. The feature is not available on the Essentials or Business tiers.

Can the location owner see their own data in a dashboard?

There is no dedicated third-party view yet. If the operator wants to keep the total revenue private, they should not grant the location owner dashboard access. Dedicated views for third parties are on the roadmap.

What happens when tariffs change?

Percentage splits recalculate proportionally, and the per-kWh type holds the fixed margin automatically. Either way there is no manual reconfiguration.

If a split configuration is changed, does it affect sessions that already happened?

No. A changed split configuration applies only to sessions that start after that configuration is activated. Past sessions keep whatever rule was in place when they ended, and the split amount is calculated at the end of each session.

Does the location owner need their own account or login?

The location owner must have an account that sits within the operator's provider network, that is, under the same provider or one of its sub-providers, so it can be selected as the second party.

Can session, time, and idle fees each be split independently, or only energy?

Energy can be split by percentage or by per kWh plus remainder. The other costs (session, time, idle) sit in a single "other costs" bucket that is percentage only, or assigned 100 percent to one party. The customer cannot give each of those fee types its own separate split in this release.

How is VAT handled when the parties are in different EU countries?

Each party receives a separate invoice with VAT applied independently.

When using the per kWh model what happens when the tariff drops below the fixed rate for Priority 1 party?

Priority 1 receives only what the session actually collected, capped at the tariff, and Priority 2 (the remainder) receives nothing. For example, with a fixed 30 c/kWh and a tariff that drops to 20 c/kWh, Priority 1 gets 20 c and Priority 2 gets 0.

How does the per kWh configuration handle both AC and DC at the same location?

The split works uniformly. The fixed party receives the same cents per kWh on every session whether AC or DC, and the remainder party captures the extra revenue DC delivers. For example, with a fixed 30 c/kWh: an AC session at 40 c gives 30 c and 10 c, a DC session at 65 c gives 30 c and 35 c.

Does Revenue Sharing work with scheduled or dynamic pricing?

Yes, for both % per-kWh configurations. And this is especially relevant for the per-kWh type. The fixed party's rate is unaffected by the charger tariff and the remainder party absorbs every change, so the split holds on every session with no manual reconfiguration however often the tariff moves.

Can I configure different splits for AC vs DC at the same location?

Not in this release. The split configuration is location level only and applies uniformly to every connector. Note the per-kWh type already handles AC and DC sensibly through the single fixed rate.

Can the location owner be the fixed party instead of the operator in the per kWh configuration?

Yes. The Priority 1 and Priority 2 ordering is defined by the operator. The customer can set the location owner as Priority 1 with their fixed cents per kWh and the operator as the remainder, or the other way round, depending on the commercial agreement.

Will the split breakdown be seen on the invoice?

No. The reimbursement invoice uses the same template as a normal reimbursement invoice: a single line showing the number of sessions, total kWh, and the total amount, with no rate or split breakdown and no indication it is a split. Per-session detail is available in the Inspect Reimbursement view and the billable items export. An improved template is planned for the future.

If an account has several locations using splits, does the customer get one invoice line or a separate line per location?

One. An account with several split locations receives a single invoice line showing the total reimbursed across all of them. There is no per-location breakdown in this release.

Why are energy and other costs split separately rather than combined?

They usually reflect different commercial arrangements, for example energy reimbursement covers the location owner's electricity cost while other fees compensate for charger usage and time. Splitting them separately keeps each reimbursement aligned to its purpose and keeps each amount traceable to the revenue it came from.

Is multi-currency supported?

No. Both parties must transact in the same currency. Multi-currency support is part of the future scope.
