4. Use Case: Location and Time-based Pricing – Hubject

Scenario 4 - Location-and Time-based Pricing: in this scenario, CPO XYZ wants to price charging sessions at his charging points based on a combination of the location of the charge point and the period of the day/week when charging occurs at the charge point. The table below shows how CPO XYZ can capture his location-and time-based price differentiation in the "PricingProductData" and "EVSEPricing" payload structures required for transferring tariff details to the HBS using the eRoamingDynamicPricing service.
