System pilot operation

In the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 May 2023, a pilot operation of the system is underway, in which services related to the rental of charging positions for private e-vehicles (services 1 to 3 below) are provided free of charge only on the basis of user registration. During the free pilot the following restrictions apply:

Maximum rental period

The maximum rental period of a charging point is 10 hours (after which the system operator is entitled to remove the private vehicle from the charging point and transport it to its headquarters, where it will be stored and the owner must collect it personally within 30 days, after which the vehicle is forfeited to the operator).

Maximum charging time

The maximum charging time for a vehicle placed in the charging position is 2 hours, after which time the power supply will be automatically switched off, but the vehicle will remain locked in the position until the maximum rental period stated above expires.

Limited number of shared electric scooters

During the pilot operation, a number of shared electric scooters will be available in the system and their rental will be provided for private use free of charge, but a refundable deposit of CZK 3,000 will be required, paid using a payment gateway supporting most common payment cards, or the deposit (credit) can also be transferred by bank transfer. This amount will be blocked from the credit when the scooter is borrowed and unblocked immediately after verification (by another user or system administrator) that the scooter has been returned without damage, but no later than 24 hours after the end of the loan.

The unblocked deposit normally remains in the system operator’s account as a credit for the respective user, who can reuse it for subsequent borrowings. For simultaneous borrowing of several e-scooters by one user, a credit equivalent to a multiple of the basic blocked amount is required, and the same applies in the case of successive borrowings (when the deposit from the previous borrowing has not yet been released). The credit can be increased at any time via the payment gateway or by transfer to an account, and the user can request the system operator to reduce the credit or refund it completely at any time.

In the event of damage to the borrowed item that has not been reported by the user to the operator immediately after the borrowing, the refunded deposit will be reduced by the costs associated with restoring the borrowed item to its original condition. If the loaned item is not returned within 12 hours of its loan and the user does not agree with the operator in advance to extend the loan period, the blocked deposit shall be forfeited to the system operator, who shall also be entitled to recover from the user the difference between the amount of the deposit and the actual value of the loaned item.
