4 Our Charging Plans and Tariffs

4.1 We offer a Default Tariff for Guest Users, consisting of

(a) a Base Tariff, being per kWh rate for the electricity used to charge your vehicle;

(b) a Plug-in Fee, which is a small charge for the use of the Charge Point; and

(c) an Idle Fee, being a per-minute charge for any time that your vehicle is connected to the Charge Point but is not charging.

The current Base Tariff, Plug-In Fee and Overstay Rate payable under our Default Tariff are available on the Website and the App here.

The Default Tariff will apply, unless you decide to select one of our Charging Plans detailed below.

4.2 We also offer a set of Charging Plans (as set out in clause 4.4 below) for users who wish to set up an account with us.  The Charging Plan you select will dictate the cost to you of accessing our Charge Points, and will set out the other fees associated with being a Liberty Charge Account Holder.

4.3 When you sign up for an account with Liberty Charge via our Website or App, you will be asked to select a Charging Plan from the following options:

(a) Pay As You Go (PAYG) Charging Plan

The PAYG Charging Plan mirrors the Default Tariff, however Account Holders who select this plan will have access to all the functionality of the Believ App as well as the option to purchase an RFID card for easy access to our Network.

(b) Members’ Charging Plan, offering one free RFID card (on request) and consisting of:

(i) A monthly Subscription Charge, subject to the terms in clauses 4.4 to 4.7 below;
(ii) A Base Tariff offering lower rates than the Default Tariff/PAYG Charging Plan (Members’ Base Tariff); and
(iii)An Idle Fee (which is the same as under the Default Tariff), subject to clause 4.5 below.

The current fees and charges payable under our Charging Plans are available on the  Website and the App here.

4.4 If you select the PAYG Charging Plan, you may upgrade to the Members’ Charging Plan at any time via the App or Website. Upon signing up to the Members’ Charging Plan, your rates will be amended immediately to the then current Members’ Base Tariff, and the first Subscription Charge will be charged to your registered debit or credit card. The Subscription Charge will continue to be charged to your registered debit or credit card on a monthly basis (each a Subscription Month) until your plan is cancelled or terminated in accordance with these Terms.

4.5 If you hold a valid private hire driver’s licence, once you have selected the Members’ Charging Plan you can request to be moved on to the Taxi Charging Plan, which consists of the same Subscription Charge and Members’ Base Tariff as offered under the Members’ Charging Plan but with no Idle Fee. To request to be moved onto the Taxi Charging Plan you must email a photo of your valid private hire driver’s license to [email protected] quoting your account number. Your request will be processed by our team within 5 business days. Transfer of your account will take effect as soon as your request is processed and we will send an email to the email address linked to your account to confirm once this has been done. Access to the Taxi Charging Plan is conditional upon:

(a)        you continuing to hold a valid private hire driver’s licence (and Liberty Charge reserves the right to request photographic evidence of this on an annual basis); and

(b)        your usage of our Network being at least 120kWh in each Subscription Month.

If you fail to (i) provide satisfactory evidence that you continue to hold a valid private hire driver’s licence or (ii) your usage is below 120kWh in 3 consecutive Subscription Months, Liberty Charge retains the right to remove you from the Taxi Charging  Plan and place you back on the Members’ Charging Plan. We will provide 30 days’ notice by email to the email address we have on your account if we have grounds to remove you from the Taxi Charging Plan due to insufficient utilisation and the removal shall be effected following the expiry of such 30 day period if your utilisation has failed to reach the required level. If your account is removed from the Taxi Charging Plan it will revert to the Members’ Charging Plan and we shall confirm this by email to the email address linked to your account. For the avoidance of doubt, removal from the Taxi Charging Plan will not have any impact on the amount of your monthly Subscription Charge or your ability to benefit from the Members’ Base Tariff.

4.6 You may cancel your  Members’ Charging Plan (or Taxi Charging Plan) at any time by sending an email to [email protected] requesting cancellation. You must quote your account number in this email. Your cancellation request will be processed by our team within 5 business days. Cancellation of your membership will take effect as soon as your request is processed, and your prices will revert to the PAYG Charging Plan rate at this time. We will then refund you the pro-rated Subscription Charge for the remainder of the then current Subscription Month within 30 days of the date of cancellation.

4.7 If you wish to reactivate your Members’ Charging Plan, you may do this at any time and clause 4.4 (and clause 4.5, if relevant) shall apply.

4.8 The Subscription Charge may be altered at any time by Liberty Charge to reflect changes in the rates of inflation, the costs of operating our business or for any other reason. Any upcoming changes to the Subscription Charge will be notified to Account Holders who are signed up to the Members’ Charging Plan at least one month before such changes come into effect. If you are unhappy with any changes made to the Subscription Charge, you can cancel your Members’ Charging Plan (or Taxi Charging Plan) at any time in accordance with clause 4.6.

4.9 The total price you pay for charging your vehicle will be dependent on:

(a) the location of the Charge Point;

(b)  the time of day; and

(c) if you are an Account Holder, the Charging Plan you have selected.

4.10 The Base Tariff, Plug-In Fee, Idle Fee, Members’ Base Tariff and any other charges that will apply to your charging session at your selected Charge Point will be clearly shown on the Website and/or the App upon selection of your selected Charge Point from the Map or Charger Search Results, and you will be deemed to have accepted them by electing to commence a charging session at that Charge Point.

4.11 Please note that the Base Tariff, Plug-In Fee, the Idle Fee and the Members’ Base Tariff shown on the Website and/or App may change from time to time without prior notice of the change being given to you. However, the tariff for your charging session will be fixed at the point at which you select to begin charging on the Website or the App, and will not change during the session.

4.12 All tariffs, charges and rates displayed on the Website and/or App are inclusive of VAT.

5 Card Payments

5.1 We will process your card details, including those entered into the Website and App solely for the purpose of sharing these details with our third party payment provider.

5.2 Where you are an Account Holder and have registered a card with us to pay for Services, your card details are held by us and collected, stored and processed by our third party payment services provider.

5.3 In order to verify that your credit card or your bank account (for debit cards) has sufficient funds for payment of the electricity provided by us as part of the Services, when you provide and verify your credit or debit card on our Website or App, our third party payment services provider will take a pre-authorisation holding payment on your card or your bank account until your fare for your charge has been calculated and your payment has been settled.

5.4 The amount of the pre-authorisation holding payment taken by our third party payment services provider are as follows:

(a) for Account Holders, a pre-authorisation holding payment of £25 will be taken; and

(b) for Guest charging, a pre-authorisation holding payment of £30 will be taken.

5.5 If a pre-authorisation holding payment cannot be taken for any reason, for example, if the relevant account does not have the funds necessary for the pre-authorisation holding payment, you will not be able to proceed with the purchase of electricity for your electric vehicle at the Charge Point.

5.6 Once your charging session has ended, the pre-authorisation holding payment will be adjusted to reflect the total cost of the purchased electricity. Where your finalised payment for the charging Service is more than the pre-authorisation holding payment, your bank or credit card provider will refund the pre-authorisation holding payment in full and take payment of the finalised payment amount. Where your finalised payment for the charging Service is less than the pre-authorisation holding amount, your bank or credit card provider should release the remainder of the pre-authorisation holding payment promptly following the purchase of electricity, although this could take 2-3 business days. Please contact your bank or credit card provider if you have any questions regarding this.

6 Contactless Payments

6.1 When we refer to a contactless payment, we are referring to a payment made using a debit card, credit card, prepaid card, charge card, smart phone, smart watch or other card or device that is used to transmit contactless payment information to or from a payment account (such as a credit card account, current account, electric money account or digital wallet).

6.2 We may decide to make contactless payments available at our Charge Points, however we do not guarantee that contactless payments will be available and operational at any of our Charge Points.

6.3 Where we offer contactless payments and you decide to use this payment method to pay for the Services, you agree that it is your responsibility to check the tariff for our Services at the Charge Point before you begin charging your electric vehicle.

6.4 To use a contactless payment card, you must touch it on the card reader at the selected Charge Point at the start and end of each time you use our electric vehicle charging service. To pay the correct amount for the charge, you must always touch in and out using the same contactless payment card.

6.5 When you touch your contactless payment card on a card reader on the Charge Point, you are giving authorisation for the cost of your use of our Services to be charged to your payment account.

6.6 After you have finished charging your electric vehicle we will charge you for using our Services. The amount charged to your payment account will be calculated based on the amount of electricity you have used and the applicable tariff for the Charge Point and charging Service you have used.

6.7 If you would like any further information about where you can use contactless payment cards on the Network or you experience any problems when using contactless payment cards, please contact us using Our Contact Details.

7 Business / Fleet Invoicing

7.1 If you are a business customer, or you manage a fleet of EV drivers who wish to use our Network, we may upon request, at our sole discretion, agree to arrange for billing via periodic invoicing rather than via card payment at the point of use.

However, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case, and your use of your charging cable at our Charge Point is at your own risk.
