Your charging point, your meter
Each equipped pitch has its own individual charging point with a personal meter. No sharing, no nasty surprises.
16 amps of power
Enough to comfortably run air conditioning, heating, fridge, TV and everyday appliances. Summer or winter, you stay comfortable.
Pack of 10 kWh = 5 €
The system is simple: you buy the energy you need. No commitment, no pointless package. You top up whenever you like.
Real-time tracking
The individual meter built into the charging point lets you track your consumption precisely. Plan your next pack before you run out.
Control your budget
No more monthly bill to put up with. You adapt your consumption to your needs: minimal use, comfort, or fully equipped.
More responsible
By paying for what you actually consume, you are naturally more economical. Good for the planet, good for your wallet.
💡 Tip : start with 1 pack and watch your real consumption. You can top up at any time from the charging point.
