A type of billing in which the user pays conducts the payment-process directly before receiving a service (in our case the use of a charge point).
Pay-as-you-Go is most common for spontaneous users, since they do not have any long-term contract with the charge point operator.
However, Pay-as-you-Go may also used for those contract users who do prefer direct payment over payment via invoice at a later time (postpaid).
