Customers with a public charging station deployed after April, 13th 2024 should take note of the following rules:
1. Accessible payment methods
EV drivers should be able to charge and pay for their EVs without a charging card or app using common payment methods such as debit cards and mobile payments via QR codes, meaning:
- Charging stations with a capacity below 50 kW must be equipped with QR codes for easy ad hoc payments.
- Charging stations with a capacity of 50 kW or higher must be equipped with payment card readers. From 2027, all devices with a capacity of 50 kW or higher must comply with these rules, including devices that were deployed before April, 13th 2024.
2. Transparent pricing information
EV drivers should see exactly what the cost is before they start charging. Clear and detailed pricing information should be provided for each charging station.
