Using OCPI 2.2.1 for an EV Charger with Payment Terminal

Leveraging OCPI 2.2.1 to revolutionize EV charging payment solutions to implement an EV Charger with Payment Terminal

At Wevo Energy, we’re excited to announce our latest integration with Nayax payment terminals, leveraging the power of OCPI 2.2.1 to revolutionize EV charging payment solutions. While many in the industry associate OCPI primarily with EV roaming, its capabilities extend far beyond, offering a robust framework for seamless payment terminal integration.

The Power of OCPI 2.2.1 in EV Charging Payments

OCPI 2.2.1 brings a new level of standardization and efficiency to EV charger payment systems. By utilizing this protocol, we’ve created a flexible, future-proof solution that benefits charge point operators (CPOs) and EV drivers.

Key Benefits of OCPI 2.2.1 for Payment Integration:

  1. Streamlined Communication: OCPI facilitates smooth data exchange between charging stations, payment terminals, and management systems
  2. Enhanced Interoperability: The standardized protocol ensures compatibility across various hardware and software platforms
  3. Real-time Updates: CPOs can easily update tariffs and manage transactions in real-time
  4. Simplified Compliance: OCPI 2.2.1 helps meet evolving regulatory requirements, including those set by the EU, UK and California

EV Charger with Payment Terminal: Flexible Implementation

Our OCPI 2.2.1-based solution supports two key implementation modes, catering to diverse charging scenarios:

One-on-One Mode

In this setup, a payment terminal is added to each EV charger. This configuration is ideal for:

  • High-power DC charging stations
  • Locations requiring quick, direct transactions
  • Scenarios where individual charger control is preferred

Kiosk Mode

Our kiosk mode allows a single payment terminal to manage multiple charging points, offering:

  • Cost-effective solution for large charging hubs
  • Centralized payment processing for up to 99 chargers
  • Simplified user interface for initiating and paying for charging sessions

Both modes leverage OCPI 2.2.1 to ensure seamless communication between the charger, payment terminal, and our Wevo Energy platform.

The Wevo Energy Advantage

By integrating Nayax payment terminals using OCPI 2.2.1, we’re setting a new standard in the industry. This integration is just the beginning – we’re committed to expanding our payment terminal options to provide even more flexibility for our clients. Our OCPI 2.2.1 implementation offers:

  • Future-proof Technology: Easily adaptable to evolving market needs and regulations.
  • Faster Integration: Simplified setup process for CPOs and charge point manufacturers
  • Enhanced User Experience: Seamless, consistent payment process across charging networks

 

At Wevo Energy, we’re dedicated to driving innovation in EV charging. Our OCPI 2.2.1-based payment solution represents a significant step forward in creating a more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly EV charging ecosystem. Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue to expand our payment integration options and enhance the EV charging experience for drivers and operators alike.
