How do I install Orange charger?

Orange Outlets are very simple to install. First be sure to turn off the circuit breaker, then attach the leads from the Orange Outlet to the corresponding colored leads that go to the breaker with the included Wago connectors or appropriately sized wire nuts. Finally screw the Outlet into the double-gang back-box, and turn the circuit breaker on. After a few minutes the Outlet will come online. Check out our full install manual

How do I manage access control and who can use Orange chargers?

Orange puts the power in your hands with customizable access control. Within the Orange Dashboard, you have the flexibility to configure access to the chargers however you’d like: from being all-inclusive, welcoming anyone to charge, to invite-only, reserved exclusively for your residents and employees, or even a blend of both worlds. Orange gives you the keys to control who plugs in and also the freedom to set variable charging rates tailored to different groups.

Do my drivers need an adapter to use your Outlets?

Most electric vehicles come equipped with a mobile connector designed to work seamlessly with the Orange Level 1 Outlet (120V). For a quicker charge with our Orange Level 2 Outlet (240V), an affordable adapter (NEMA 6-20) can usually be purchased from the vehicle’s manufacturer. Having trouble finding an adapter? Reach out to Orange Charger Support, we’re happy to help.

How does the usage based fee work?

Say goodbye to recurring monthly bills and fixed fees with Orange. Our simple and transparent usage-based fee seamlessly integrates into the price of electricity for drivers. You can rest assured that you'll fully recover energy costs, plus the freedom to add any desired markups with reimbursements delivered to you monthly.

Orange does not have a fixed monthly fee or revenue share where you might never recoup your costs. Instead we have a simple usage-based fee that is added onto the price of electricity that drivers pay. As the property, you are welcome to add any additional markup that is 100% of your profit.

Say goodbye to recurring monthly bills and fixed fees with Orange. Orange is a usage based revenue model only. Your residents are charged only when they charge their EVs. We will also help you set the price that’s right for your property with any desired markups.

How do our residents get charged and when do I get reimbursed?

Your residents need to download the Orange app and enter their credit card information to start charging. Orange charges drivers on a monthly cycle for the energy they have utilized and reimburses the property every month.

How do I let my residents know we’ve installed Orange chargers?

Whether you're a brand-new building getting ready to welcome your first residents home, or an existing community enabling EV charging for the first time, we’ve got you covered. Our onboarding team will give you the tools you need to help educate your residents on how charging with Orange is a breeze.
