If your latest energy bill made you pause, you are not alone. Since 1 July, electricity prices have risen sharply across Australia — and many small and medium businesses are feeling the squeeze.
The government’s Default Market Offer (DMO) increased by 7.9–8.5 percent, but many businesses on market rates have seen rises of up to 30 percent. That means thousands of extra dollars every year just to keep the lights on.
But there is good news: you can offset higher energy costs by earning from your EV chargers and attracting new visitors to your venue through ivygo’s network.
💡 Monetise Your EV Chargers and Boost Your Revenue
If your business already has EV chargers installed, you have an asset sitting right outside your door.
Now with ivygo, you can turn that charger into a new revenue stream — and use it to bring new customers directly to your business.
Instead of offering free charging, you can:
Set your own hourly rate to recover energy costs and earn a margin.
Generate income every time a driver plugs in.
Attract EV drivers who plan their stops around charging and spend time on-site while they charge.
With ivygo, there are no fixed fees, no lock-in contracts, and no hidden costs.
We simply take a small service fee whenever your charger is booked — so you start earning straight away.
Already have chargers? Great — ivygo works with any charger brand, so there is no need for upgrades or new hardware.
No charger yet? We can help you get started by connecting you with our trusted hardware and installation partners to find the right setup for your venue.
By listing your chargers on the ivygo network, your business becomes visible to a growing community of EV drivers looking for convenient charging options.
That means more foot traffic, longer dwell times, and more spending at your venue — all while covering your own rising energy costs.
