Charging-as-a-Service
Chargers, energy and uptime as one line item.
No equipment purchase. No interconnection application. A megawatt site, run for you, billed per kWh or per dispenser.
- Custompricing, quoted per site
- Pilotavailable before you commit
- 24/7NOC included
MegaWatts Charging-as-a-Service delivers megawatt-class mobile charging for fleets of 50 or more vehicles as a run-for-you service rather than an equipment purchase. Power blocks, dispensers, energy, maintenance, replacements and 24/7 network operations are covered under a written SLA, billed per kWh or per dispenser at a rate set in your quote.
What you get
Everything between the vehicle and the energy.
Hardware
Blocks, dispensers, cables, site controller. Sized by the Site Power Plan, resized as you grow.
Energy
Included per kWh, or passed through at cost per dispenser. Source disclosed in your plan.
Operations
24/7 NOC, preventive maintenance, SLA replacement, per-vehicle reporting, OCPP integration.
Compliance
Permits in scope, COI on request, UL-listed blocks, NDA by default for pilots.
Commercial
Billing structure, term and any minimum are set in your quote after a Site Power Plan.
Exit
Relocation and exit terms are set in your agreement, not assumed in advance.
How it works
From plan to invoice.
01
Site Power Plan
Free, 48 hours. kW, kWh, blocks, layout, date.
02
Quote
A billing structure and rate built for your site.
03
Pilot or term
Start with a pilot, or go straight to a term agreement.
04
Monthly invoice
kWh delivered or dispensers deployed. Credits applied when the SLA is missed.
End of shift
The charger comes to the vehicle, not the other way around.
Under Charging-as-a-Service the fleet parks where it always has. Dispensers and power arrive on trailers, sessions run overnight, and the invoice is per kWh or per dispenser at the rate in your quote.
How pricing works
Three billing structures. One quote, built for your site.
Per-kWh
Pay for energy delivered. Equipment, operations, maintenance and NOC are built into the rate.
Best for: Fleets with steady daily energy and a known route profile.
Flat monthly per dispenser
One line item per dispenser, every month. Energy passed through at cost.
Best for: Depots that want a fixed budget line and energy at cost.
Metered-hour rental
Your technicians operate the block. You pay for the hours it runs.
Best for: OEM lots, ports and seasonal surges with in-house crews.

FAQ
Charging-as-a-Service questions.
What does Charging-as-a-Service include?
Power blocks, dispensers, delivery, commissioning, energy, preventive maintenance, SLA replacements, 24/7 NOC monitoring and per-vehicle reporting. You pay one rate; we run the site.
Is equipment purchased or leased?
Neither. It's a service: no equipment purchase or deposit. Civil work beyond pad leveling, if your site needs it, is scoped and quoted separately in the Site Power Plan.
How is energy billed?
On the per-kWh model it is inside the rate. On the per-dispenser model it is passed through at cost with no markup. Which applies to your site is set in your quote.
What if our utility service arrives mid-term?
Exit terms for an early utility go-live are set in your agreement. Blocks relocate; some customers keep one as backup.
Can we buy the equipment later?
CaaS is a service model. If your finance team prefers ownership, ask about a purchase option in the Site Power Plan.
How do you handle a fleet that grows?
Add dispensers or blocks under the same agreement. Billing is per kWh or per dispenser, so the invoice scales with use, not with a new contract.
