Emporia Invite2Charge is a managed EV charging solution designed for apartment complexes, workplaces, vacation rentals, and other properties where access control is a priority — all without monthly subscription fees.
What Is Invite2Charge
Invite2Charge adds access control to your Emporia EV Chargers. Drivers must be invited or approved before they can charge, and you manage everything from the Emporia Partner Portal — a web-based dashboard for user management, reporting, and real-time monitoring.
Key capabilities:
Access control — You decide who can charge. Drivers must request or receive an invitation before they can use your charger
Partner Portal — Manage users, customize messaging, and export billing data from one web-based dashboard at partner.emporiaenergy.com
No monthly fees — Unlike other managed charging solutions, there are no ongoing subscription costs. You pay once and own the system outright
Admin Experience
User Management — Approve or deny access requests, invite multiple users at once, and remove users when needed from your web-based dashboard
Custom Messaging — Create personalized access instructions for each charger, including your contact information, operating hours, and property-specific rules
Detailed Reporting — Export energy usage data organized by charger or by user with customizable date ranges, ideal for billing or tracking usage patterns
Real-Time Monitoring — See which chargers are available, in use, or offline at a glance through the Partner Portal
