Future-Proof EV Payment: How CPOs Simplify the Payment Process

Future-Proof EV Payment: How CPOs Simplify the Payment Process

New EU legal requirements oblige charging station operators to offer direct payment, including ad-hoc payment, at DC charging stations. This requirement could be implemented quite easily if the payment world were not a rather complicated one. For us, however, nothing is easier than that: with more than two decades of experience in POS applications with direct payment and fiscalization, we are true experts.

Our Solution

Our E-nfinity Solution is already in use in many places every day. This means that it is not only particularly mature and tried and tested, but also ready for immediate use. In this way, we want to make the world of e-mobility payments a little easier for everyone. And remain true to our motto “Charge simply. Pay intelligently.”

The E-nfinity Solution is an app that runs on a payment terminal directly at a charging station or on a separate kiosk. It guides charging customers through the payment process in the best possible way and enables ad-hoc payment for all common payment methods. It is characterized by legally compliant digital receipt generation and our internal fiscalization expertise. Thanks to its modular software structure, the payment solution offers maximum flexibility and is the ideal solution for CPOs.

What can the E-nfinity Solution do?

The E-nfinity solution is based on the Payment Terminal App and Enterprise Management Portal. Additional modules for fiscalization, digital receipt creation, campaign management and accounting are also available.

The Payment Terminal App runs on a payment terminal directly at a charging station or on a separate kiosk and guides charging customers through the payment process in the best possible way. In addition, the Enterprise Management Portal is a key component of the payment integration at the terminal and enables simple, centralized administration. The Fiscalization module ensures compliance with local tax laws. Thanks to our in-house experts, you can rely on us when it comes to tax law.

We also have a module for the correct execution of payments and the digital creation of receipts. Our receipt portal makes things easier when it comes to receipt management. It is the perfect solution for searching and archiving receipts. We also have something for marketing: our campaign management system accurately targets end customers. On top of this, if desired, we can provide a simple integration for direct correspondence with the accounting department, simplifying the bureaucratic workload for charging station operators.

Technical versatility

Our E-nfinity backend connects to the charge point management system – CPMS for short – of the charge point operator via OCPI or a proprietary interface. Our backend then communicates directly with the payment terminal and thus enables direct payment, i.e. the usual payment by card or smartphone. The CPMS is connected directly to the charger via OCPP. Direct communication between the E-nfinity backend and the charger via OCPP is also possible on request. Thanks to the modular software architecture, the modules for fiscalization, digital receipt creation, campaign management or accounting can be freely selected as required.

The transparent direct payment solution for e-mobility.
Charge simply.
Pay intelligently.

SIMPLY FLEXIBLE

Our solution is particularly flexible and supports both the direct integration of a terminal into a charging station and a decentralized kiosk for operating several charging stations. You can therefore design your charging park entirely according to your wishes. Our Direct Payment works independently of your charging station management system (CPMS) and allows you to integrate various charging station manufacturers into your portfolio, while you only need one payment software.

SIMPLY TRANSPARENT

Our software offers transparent prices and enables quick and easy integration. We think outside the box and therefore support numerous protocols. Direct contracts with acquirers mean there are no hidden costs for CPOs. This enables attractive pricing for the end user. The existing CPMS remains usable, even in the event of future changes. Our solution guarantees even more future security, as it can continue to be used in the event of a backend change.

SIMPLY LEGALLY COMPLIANT

Our payment solutions are legally compliant worldwide and take 100% account of national tax laws - including AFIR, of course.
