A new cloud-based payments platform from Nayax Ltd. promises to help facilitate payments at electric vehicle charging stations.
EV CloudPay allows drivers to pay for EV charging with a credit card, debit card or mobile wallet via a physical payment processing kiosk located on-site at the charging station. Individual payment processing devices do not need to be attached to each charger. The kiosk will accept more than 80 forms of cashless and digital payment methods, according to the company.
Many drivers currently pay for EV charging via proprietary mobile apps. The cloud-based kiosk can facilitate payments for multiple chargers.
“The current EV charging payments infrastructure is inefficient and cumbersome for drivers and EV charging station operators alike,” said Yair Nechmad, CEO and chairman of Nayax. “To accelerate the adoption of EVs worldwide, we need to provide drivers with a convenient charging experience, and that includes a seamless and fast way to pay for the charge. The payments part of the EV charging infrastructure is critical, and that’s why we’re spearheading a cloud-based EV charging payments solution.”
