4. Use Case: Location-based (EVSE-specific) Pricing – Hubject

Scenario 3 -Location-based (EVSE-specific) Pricing:in this scenario, CPO XYZ wants to price charging sessions at his charging points based on the location of the charge point. This can also be viewed as EVSE-specific pricing whereby each EVSE is assigned its own pricing for charging sessions that take place at that EVSE. To implement location-based pricing, CPOs have to send a second request payload in addition to the "PricingProductData" payload. This is the so-called "EVSEPricing" payload to be sent using the "eRoamingPushEVSEPricing" request (see the OICP 2.2 specification for message structure and details).The table below shows how CPO XYZcancapture his location-based (EVSE-specific) price differentiation in the "PricingProductData" and "EVSEPricing" payload structures required for transferringtariff details to the HBS using the eRoamingDynamicPricing service.
