Card payment at recharging points arrives at EVcharge
We know that simplicity and convenience for charging an electric car are two words that help to dispel the doubts of those who are starting to move around with an electric car.
That is why Etecnic has created a product for users that makes the difference in the charging experience: the EVcharge Totem. This solution offers the possibility of integrating several charging points in the same location and paying by credit card, thus adapting to the needs of our customers and simplifying the charging experience.
A trouble-free recharging experience
With advances in the industry and constant improvements of EVcharge, our customers can now arrive at our stations with a variety of charging points and choose between the payment format that best suits them: App or card.
This option is ideal both for those who are not comfortable with technology and for tourists visiting Spain who want an easy way to charge their electric vehicles.
Offering a more convenient service to users and flexibility in the choice of payment methods is essential. By offering users the possibility to choose between different payment methods, we are adapting to customer preferences and achieving more versatility in the charging stations.
Protecting the privacy of our users is our priority
Our commitment to innovation and constant improvement of the user experience has led us to enable our charging points to accept payments by card or contactless mobile devices, simply by bringing the card close to the payment terminal.
This solution not only simplifies recharging, but also protects the privacy of our users by not requiring registration or disclosure of personal data.
We improve our clients’ business model
If you own a charging station, this is of interest to you:
- Ease of management: Owners of charging points can simplify the management of their charging stations by integrating multiple charging points in one location and offering a unified payment solution, reducing operational complexity.
- Adaptability to market needs: This solution reflects the ability to adapt to EV market trends and changing user preferences, which can help keep charging points relevant and competitive.
- Cost reduction: By eliminating the need to develop and maintain specific applications or RFID card systems, charging point owners can save on development and operational costs.
- Encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles: By offering a simpler and more accessible charging experience, charging point owners help to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, which can benefit both the environment and the automotive industry.
- Attracting tourists: The credit card payment option is particularly attractive to tourists visiting the area, as it provides them with a simple and familiar way to charge their EVs, which can increase footfall.
And then what?
In addition to simplifying the charging experience and providing numerous benefits to charging point owners, we at Etecnic are committed to the future of electric mobility. We continue to work on advanced solutions that go beyond payment simplicity.
In line with this vision, we offer opportunities in areas such as OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface), which allow for wider interoperability and facilitate roaming between different charging points. This means that users will be able to enjoy a seamless charging experience across multiple locations and charging networks, further expanding the possibilities for charging point owners and EV users.
In addition, we are keeping an eye on emerging trends and collaborating with other EMSP (Electric Mobility Service Providers) to continue to offer advanced solutions that drive electric mobility.
Our vision is to democratise electric mobility wherever electric cars exist, with the introduction of card payments that are complementary to EVcharge App payments, our customers can have 100% accessible charging stations in a way that enhances their business model by improving access to a much wider audience and their charging experience.
