Question 1

Does BharatREVOLT take a cut from Host earnings?

Accepted Answer

No. BharatREVOLT currently operates on a zero-commission model for Hosts — 100% of the session price you set goes to you. Standard payment gateway processing fees of roughly 2–3% may apply at payout, but there is no platform commission on top of that.

Question 2

Can I list my charger if I live in an apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it is highly recommended to check your RWA or Housing Society bylaws first. Some societies have rules about commercial activity or non-resident access. Get written approval from your management committee before listing to protect yourself as a Host.

Question 3

Is it safe to charge at someone else's private charger?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BharatREVOLT's platform uses verified user profiles, a two-way rating system, and Host-controlled booking approvals — meaning the Host reviews your profile before confirming. The built-in voice calling lets you coordinate access directly with the Host. Start with Hosts who have multiple positive ratings to build your own confidence in the process.

Question 4

How do I handle electricity billing as a Host?

Accepted Answer

BharatREVOLT does not supply or bill electricity — that remains between you and your DISCOM. Set your per-kWh price on the app to cover your actual electricity cost plus your desired margin. Factor in that Guest sessions will increase your monthly consumption, potentially moving you into a higher tariff slab. If you're on Time-of-Day (ToD) metering, consider restricting your availability to off-peak hours for better margins.

Question 5

Does BharatREVOLT provide the charger hardware?

Accepted Answer

No. BharatREVOLT is a software-first facilitation platform. It connects people who already own chargers with drivers who need to use them. If you want to become a Host but don't yet have a charger, you'll need to source and install that separately.

Question 6

What happens if a Guest overstays their booking slot?

Accepted Answer

The app tracks session duration and sends real-time alerts to both parties as the booked window approaches its end. If a Guest overstays, Hosts can reach out directly through the app's communication tools. The mutual rating system also creates natural accountability — overstaying Guests build a visible record that affects future booking approvals.

Question 7

Is the BharatREVOLT app compatible with all EV types, including 2W, 3W, 4W?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both Hosts and Guests can specify and filter by connector type — including Type 2 (most cars), LEV / Bharat AC001 (two- and three-wheelers), and others. Always verify connector compatibility before confirming a booking.

Question 8

How much can a Host realistically earn per month from BharatREVOLT?

Accepted Answer

It depends on three variables: location (urban density drives demand), charger speed (a 7.4 kW AC charger can deliver a meaningful charge in 2–3 hours), and your electricity rate. A Host in a central urban area with a 7.4 kW charger available for 8 hours a day could realistically run 2–4 sessions daily, earning several hundred to a few thousand rupees per month. The zero-commission model means every rupee of the margin you set stays with you.

Question 9

Will listing my charger on BharatREVOLT affect its warranty?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Most home charger warranties are written for personal, single-user residential use. Third-party use changes the usage profile. Review your warranty documentation and contact your charger manufacturer before listing. Ask specifically whether peer-to-peer or shared-use scenarios are covered, and whether a commercial warranty rider is available.
