As the electric vehicle (EV) market continues to grow, accessibility and convenience in charging infrastructure become essential. One critical aspect is enabling seamless payments for EV drivers. While subscription-based charging is common, many Charging Point Operators (CPOs) also need to support ad-hoc payments for users who prefer one-time transactions without a contract. This initiative is in compliance with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which mandates transparent, accessible, and standardized payment methods at public charging points. Greenflux offers two primary methods for ad-hoc payments: payment terminals and and/or QR code.

Payment terminals at charging stations provide a familiar and straightforward way for EV drivers to pay for their charging sessions. These terminals support various payment methods, including:

Greenflux now works with several payment terminal providers to offer this solution. For CPOs, Greenflux offers three options to connect to the payment terminal :

Each option is designed to provide a smooth, frictionless payment experience for users. To learn more about onboarding the right contactless payment solution for your network, reach out to your GreenFlux representative.
