The Road-Worldline collaboration allows charge point owners to use one platform for ensuring compliance with AFIR payment requirements, which come into effect on 13 April 2024, along with the UK’s Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, which imposes new obligations from November 2024.
As an electric vehicle (EV) charging transaction and management platform, Road chose to partner with Worldline, a major player in payments services to reduce complexity for charge point owners while offering convenience for EV drivers. Road will leverage its integration with Worldline to accept a range of payment methods and provide price clarity.
Acknowledging the importance of interconnectivity in the electric vehicle market, the solution aims to meet the growing demand of drivers and charge point owners. Road is delivering the integration to Worldline’s payments solution to provide flexibility in accepting different cards, payment terminals and enhanced services to their customers. Road’s extended capabilities on their E-Flux platform now creates a single view of charging sessions for charge point owner customers, including roaming, and regardless of payment method.
Road officials highlighted their partnership with Worldline to streamline EV charging payments. This collaboration ensures hassle-free payments for drivers, who can choose their preferred payment method. Charge point owners benefit by avoiding the complexities of payment infrastructure setup, as Road manages it. The integration with Worldline enables end-to-end card acquiring and processing, reflecting Road's commitment to simplicity and market growth.
The solution will be available for charging stations across Europe starting in April 2024 to enable charge point owners to comply with the EU AFIR regulation.
