ELATEC enables simple, seamless, and secure user authentication at EV charging stations—crucial for a positive charging experience. With Elatec readers, drivers can start a charging session effortlessly using an RFID card, key fob, or even their smartphone without the need for complex logins or additional infrastructure. This contactless and intuitive approach is especially important for diverse environments—from public access points to private corporate fleets.

Convenience is a key factor in user adoption. EV drivers expect quick, contactless authentication without delays or technical issues. Our readers provide fast response times, are easy to manage, and deliver reliable performance, while supporting multiple credential types such as RFID cards and mobile wallets. This ensures a hassle-free and flexible user experience for EV drivers—especially in public and shared spaces where speed, simplicity, and reliability are expected. With over 40 million EVs on the road globally as of the end of 2023, and rapid growth continuing, infrastructure must prioritise fast and user-friendly access. ELATEC readers support this goal by enabling flexible access options that integrate easily into the user’s daily routine.
