What is a Charging Station Owner?

A Charging Station Owner (CSO) is the owner of a charging station located in a private space with restricted access (e.g., for owners, tenants, or authorized individuals), intended for personal use or for a limited group of users. By choice, the station is integrated into the Mobi.E Electric Mobility Network. This integration is non-commercial.

Once integrated into the Mobi.E network, the station operates like any public charging point: the energy consumed is paid for by the user, not the owner.

Which are the advantages of Becoming a Charging Station Owner?

  • Charge at home as if using a public charging station; for example, a company can provide employees with EV charging cards and cover the cost of home charging:
  • Install stations in condominiums, allowing residents to be billed individually for their consumption, without any cost to the condominium;
  • Enable workplace charging for employees, without the employer bearing the cost of charging private vehicles.

How to install a charging station in a private space?

If you are a resident in a condominium, notify the condominium management of your intention to install a charger.
If you are an employer installing a station at an employee's home, provide a signed statement from the employee authorizing the installation.

Check which charging station manufacturers are validated by the Mobi.E Network and hire a qualified installer (a manufacturer, certified installer, or Charging Point Operator).
The installer must fill out the Mobi.E Network Station Creation File.

Send the following documentation to MOBI.E via email to geral@mobie.pt*:
- Charging point creation file, Charging point creation file, completed by the installation company.
- Electricity bill, to confirm the Delivery Point Code (CPE).
- Mobi.E Adhesion Agreement, duly completed and signed.
- If the charging station is installed by a legal entity, a document proving the authority of the person signing the Agreement on behalf of the entity must be submitted. Depending on the type of entity, please include:
                       - Company: Permanent Certificate or the corresponding access code.
                       - Private Institution of Social Solidarity (IPSS): Copy of the Articles of Association.
                       - Condominium: Minutes of the appointment of the administrators or managers.
- If the Agreement is signed by a proxy, the power of attorney signed by someone authorised to bind the entity must also be submitted.

* If the documentation is signed by hand, two original copies of the documents must be sent in physical format by post, together with the Permanent Certificate.

Once the process has been submitted, what are the next steps?

Mobi.E returns the signed Membership Agreement, along with your DPC number and, if requested, a SIM card for the station.

You receive an automatic email confirming the creation of your station with its unique ID and setup instructions.

If your installer is not a CPO, they (manufacturer or certified installer) should proceed using the configuration instructions provided by Mobi.E.

Useful information for installers:

The charging station must be installed in accordance with the DGEG technical guide, the RTIEBT rules in their consolidated version and the legislation in force; the station must be configured in accordance with the instructions sent by MOBI.E; the station must be able to communicate with the Mobi.E system (via the SIM card, when requested, or in another way that allows data communication, e.g. Wi-Fi); commissioning tests must be scheduled by sending a request to geral@mobie.pt.
