EV payment specialist Paythru has partnered with Adyen to co-develop a next-generation, omni-channel payments platform for EV charging. The collaboration aims to address the problem of inconsistent EV charging payments – where EV drivers face different payment methods at different charge points – which frustrates drivers and hampers EV uptake. The partnership will integrate Adyen’s platform with Paythru’s software and expertise in EV-specific payments. The resulting EV payments platform will allow drivers to pay with their preferred payment method, which can be easily processed and allocated to the charge point operator. The platform will also incorporate a range of digital features to make the user experience easier, such as emailed digital receipts. It will be purpose-built to integrate into EV charging software, including compatibility with emerging standards. Key features of the new EV charging payment platform will include: Support for over 100 global payment methods across 100+ countries, including mobile wallets and fleet cards; Plug & Charge readiness (ISO 15118), ensuring compatibility with energy optimisation and bi-directional charging; Transparent pricing, digital receipts, and real-time data integration; White-label front ends for charge point operators and fleet managers.
