Nayax Ltd. announced the launch of Nayax EV CloudPay, a cloud-based payments solution to help consumers facilitate payments at electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. EV CloudPay allows drivers to pay for their charge with a credit card, debit card or mobile wallet via a physical payment processing kiosk that is located on-site at the charging station. Individual payment processing devices do not need to be attached to each charger.

The kiosk will be able to accept more than 80 forms of cashless and digital payment methods. Many drivers currently pay for their charge by downloading multiple mobile apps, a time-consuming process. Since the kiosk is cloud-based, a single kiosk can facilitate the payments for multiple chargers.

This creates a seamless experience for charging station operators and customers. EV CloudPay is simplifying the EV charging payment experience at a time when EV charging stations are a pivotal component of the global transition to EVs. Strong EV charging infrastructure, which includes a faster and more convenient way for drivers to pay for their charge, is critical for increasing adoption and consumer use of EVs.

EV CloudPay utilizes a global open connectivity protocol known as Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) to facilitate payments. OCPI's standardized technology makes it easy for charging station operators to adopt and integrate with their charging station management system. The EV cloud payment solution is being released by Nayax Energy, the company's energy and mobility division, which also offers payment devices, software and EV charging solutions for street parking, parking garages, gas stations, hotels, shopping centers, apartment buildings and other sites.
