EV charging software cost calculator

Compare software quotes on the same assumptions. See how onboarding, connector subscriptions and percentage fees affect your first-year and three-year budget.

Build your software cost estimate

Editable starting example: Sock8 white-label cloud at $3,000 setup and $10 per connector per month. Zero values for other fees are placeholders, not a promise of fee-free payments. No email required.

Count usable outlets, not charging stations.

Onboarding, branding and other one-time software costs.

Use the monthly equivalent if billed annually.

Any fixed software charge in addition to connector fees.

Total across your network; used only for percentage fees.

Enter software and payment-provider percentage fees, if applicable.

Your planning estimate

Adjust the assumptions and calculate to see your monthly, first-year and three-year software budget.

Assumes a constant connector count, fees and payment volume. Excludes hardware, electricity, installation, tax, currency conversion, fixed per-transaction charges, chargebacks, custom integrations and support not entered above. This is a planning estimate, not a quote or profitability forecast.

What should your charging software budget include?

A low connector rate does not describe the full contract. Ask whether branding, gateway integration, support, native apps, roaming and data migration are included or quoted separately. Check whether offline or inactive connectors remain billable and when annual commitments begin.

Worked example: 20 active connectors

At $3,000 setup and $10 per connector per month, the connector subscription is $200 a month. With no additional fees entered, the software subtotal is $5,400 in year one and $10,200 over three years. Add your applicable gateway and other costs before treating this as a budget.

How do percentage fees change the result?

A hypothetical 2% fee on $5,000 of monthly charging payments adds $100 a month. This example illustrates the calculation; it is not a Sock8 fee or a payment-provider quote. Fixed transaction fees must be budgeted separately.
