The charging system infrastructure is controlled and managed by the Non-Regulated Activities Unit of EAC and monitors the charging of electric vehicle throughout the duration of the charging. The electric vehicle charging stations installed by EAC are using Mode 3 charging with two-way communication between the vehicle and the charging station throughout the duration of the charging period. There are two (2) Type 2 sockets in each charging station in accordance with the international standards and recommendations of the European Commission and Eurelectric.

Each user of the system will be charged €25 on the first invoice, for connection fee and issuance of RFID card, as well as a deposit of ​30 for each RFID card which will be returned if the user wishes to end the agreement. The subscri​ption fee will be €5,76 plus VAT every two months. If the RFID card is lost or the electric vehicle owner requires an additional card, then they need to visit any CSC to reissue (the reissue cost is €5​)  or issue an additional RFID card ( the cost of an additional card is €25 and a deposit of €30​​). Invoices will be sent to owners of electric vehicles every two months.
