Procurement checklist before you commit

Before signing up for PLN Charge, run through this short checklist:

• Confirm the live price in your country in the pricing table below this description; vendor list prices vary by region and currency.
• Note the renewal rate, not just the intro rate — many operators in the EV charging space discount the first term and revert to a higher renewal.
• Check that the tier you are picking includes the features cited above; entry tiers often gate the most useful capabilities.
• Review the PLN Charge cancellation guide so you know how to exit if the product does not fit.
• For household, family, or team rollouts, validate multi-user support on the higher tier rather than the starter plan.
