Integrating Wevo Energy’s platform with Payter payment processing offers advantages to EV drivers and charging station operators. With this new feature, users can easily pay for their charging sessions using credit cards at public stations, eliminating the need for specific apps or memberships.
Key benefits include:
- Compliance with regional regulations
- Simplified payment process
- Improved user satisfaction
- Increased utilization of charging stations
Compliance with Regional Regulations
Our integration ensures compliance with regional regulations governing EV charging infrastructure that require integration with physical payment terminals.
UK Public Charging Regulations
The UK government has set ambitious targets for EV adoption and charging infrastructure development. The integration of credit card payment options aligns with the UK’s goal of making EV charging more accessible and user-friendly. This move supports the government’s efforts to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.
Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) in Europe
The European Union’s AFIR aims to ensure a widespread network of alternative fuel infrastructure, including EV charging stations. Our integration with Payter supports AFIR’s objectives by providing standardized EV charging payment methods across charging networks, making it easier for EV drivers to charge their vehicles regardless of location or charging network operator.
CARB Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Standards Regulation in California
California’s CARB EVSE Standards Regulation sets requirements for EV charging equipment, including payment systems. By integrating credit card payment options, we’re aligning with California’s push for open access to charging infrastructure and ensuring that our system meets the state’s stringent standards for interoperability and accessibility.
Flexible Integration Modes
Our integration with Payter supports various modes to accommodate charging scenarios and infrastructure setups.
1. Local Integration at the Charger Level
This mode is typically used for DC chargers pre-configured by the charger manufacturer. It offers:
- Direct communication between the payment terminal and the charger
- Quick transaction processing
- Ideal for high-power charging stations
2. Cloud Integration – One Terminal per Charger
This setup is commonly used for DC chargers and provides:
- Centralized control through the Wevo Energy platform
- Real-time monitoring and reporting
- Flexibility in pricing and tariff management
3. Cloud Kiosk Integration – One Terminal Supports Multiple Chargers
This cost-effective solution allows:
- A single payment terminal to serve multiple charging points
- Reduced hardware costs for charging station operators
- Streamlined user experience in larger charging hubs
Maximizing Efficiency with Smart Charging Management
Beyond payment processing, our integration with Payter complements Wevo Energy’s existing smart charging capabilities. Our system:
- Dynamically manages available current between charging units
- Utilizes AI-based load balancing to optimize charging schedules
- Integrates with on-site energy assets like solar production and batteries
These features work with the new payment options to create a comprehensive, efficient charging ecosystem.
Empowering Charging Station Operators
For businesses operating EV charging stations, this integration offers several advantages:
- Simplified billing and payment collection
- Increased transparency in pricing and usage
- Potential for higher utilization rates
- Reduced operational complexity
Our cloud-based platform allows for easy charging network management, providing valuable insights into charging behavior and station performance.
