The refueling of electric vehicles with electricity should function safely and conveniently. To ensure this, operators of charging stations—whether public or private—must consider a number of elements that depend on many individual circumstances. Who is allowed to use the charging facility? How is billing done? And how is the traceability of the charging process ensured? User authentication, access restriction, and billing model requirements vary by application. Options range from membership programs to free offerings. For example, fleet vehicles can be charged using employee ID cards so that only authorized users have access to the charging options and a secure charging process is ensured.
The future of
secure charging
Modern authentication solution for EV charging
As the number of electric vehicles grows, so does the need for high-performance charging infrastructure—including a reliable authentication solution that can be used to manage both access to charging stations and billing simply and securely. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and mobile technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communication) or BLE (Bluetooth® Low Energy) are particularly suitable for this purpose.
