ZEF Features

  1. Payment Options
    ZEFNET Software can be configured to “pay to use” settings to cover the business’s utility costs, offer it for free as an amenity, or set up to restricted use for authorized drivers via login or PIN code set by the business.

  2. Time Limits
    Set limits on “dwelling” time can be set for drivers to move their vehicles and allow other employees to charge during the workday.

  3. Power Sharing
    Unique Power Sharing functionality at the Panel and Breaker-level to allow properties to install chargers within existing electrical limitations and maximize # of plugs for future growth.

  4. Driver Grouping
    ZEFNET’s Driver Grouping feature allows for the assignment of specific EV chargers to designated drivers, such as employees, in either assigned parking spaces or open parking areas. This ensures that individual charging stations are protected and cannot be accessed by unauthorized drivers.
