Electric vehicle (EV)

Millions of electric vehicle (EV) drivers will benefit from easier and more reliable public charging thanks to new laws approved coming into force across Europe next year. Regulations will ensure that prices across charge-points are transparent and easy to compare and that a large proportion of new public charge points have contactless payment options.

In simple terms this means that whilst fuel prices on totem poles are a customary sight for customers arriving at a service station, currently drivers have not got a clue how much they will be charged until they plug in. Then there is the problem of charging at peak or off-peak times. The latter is far cheaper, but how do we know when these price variations kick in.

The bottom line, however, is that every EV hub in Europe, be it on a retail fuel station or a dedicated site, will soon have to get to grips with displaying prices. These must be clearly visible to arriving customers wishing to charge their EV vehicles, which for those already having a local POS system in place, will present a challenge.
