Tritium offers direct EV charging payment

Tritium has launched a new software update for its RT50 DC fast chargers, enabling Plug and Charge technology globally.

The update allows an EV that supports Plug and Charge and Tritium’s RT50 chargers to communicate seamlessly and authorise payments directly from the driver’s account without needing a card or RFID tag.

“Tritium is committed to bringing the latest DC fast charging technology to our entire product line, whether they are brand new chargers or already in the ground,” Tritium chief technology officer and co-founder James Kennedy says.   

“This latest software update improves customer experience across the board with seamless and secure payment options available through Plug and Charge, making EV charging as easy as plugging in a phone.”

Plug and Charge technology promises to reshape the customer experience for the driver and enable the once-siloed approach to charging payments to be broken down, giving the EV driver a convenient experience, Kennedy adds.

Tritium chief revenue officer David Toomey says that with the world looking to adopt more renewable technologies, the e-mobility industry will grow substantially within the next few years.

“Tritium is creating an environment where EV charging is beating the gas station experience by removing an entire payment step,” Toomey explains.

“Not only do drivers not need to concern themselves with finding a charger that is compatible with their vehicle, but now they also do not need to worry about how they are going to pay.”

In addition to this update, Tritium says it is dedicated to providing customers with the most up to date technology and is consistently upgrading its chargers to ensure customers have efficient and convenient solutions.
