EV charging

A charger knows how to charge but not how to take a banknote. The terminal stands next to it and sells the session to anyone without that operator's app — which is most of the people passing through.

On-the-spot payment for a driver without the operator's app. It releases the charger, bills by time or by kilowatt-hour, and prints a receipt.

The large one beside the charger: a 70 × 50 × 24 cm housing on a pedestal, 156 cm overall. It takes notes and gives change, because the driver passes through once.
Worked example

Worked scenarios

A charger at a filling station, no sign-up

  1. 1

    The driver picks a charger and an amount at the terminal — no app to download, no account to create.

  2. 2

    They pay by card, by phone or in cash, and get change in coins.

  3. 3

    The terminal starts the charger and shows how far the session has got.

  4. 4

    The receipt comes out of the printer right away — for the companies that need one.

A car park with two chargers and one terminal

  1. 1

    One terminal serves both chargers; the screen picks which one.

  2. 2

    While one is charging the other is for sale — there is no queue.

  3. 3

    A car-park subscriber gets the session on their monthly account.

  4. 4

    Revenue per charger shows in the portal, so it is clear which one pays for its space.

Frequently asked questions

What is an EV charging payment terminal?
A payment device beside the charger, for the people without the operator's app. It sells a session by time or by kilowatt-hour, takes card and cash, starts the charger and prints a receipt.
Who collects the money — the charger operator or the site?
The site. The terminal belongs to it and the money lands in its account; the charger only charges. That is why it works even with an operator who cannot bill a passer-by without an account.
Does it work with any charger?
It works with chargers that expose an external-start input or a control protocol. That gets checked for the specific model before anything is ordered.
Why not just use the operator's app?
Because somebody passing through once will not install an app for a single charge. The terminal sells to exactly that person — and takes the banknote the app cannot.
Does it survive outdoors?
The screen is 1000 nits, runs from −20 to +70 °C, is splash-proof and takes input from wet hands and gloves. The housing is built for wet areas.
