UK Tightens Rules on EV Charger Payment Transparency
The UK government has introduced new rules to ensure drivers can pay easily at every public charger. Under the Public Charge Point Regulations, operators must now provide contactless card options, clear pricing per kWh, and accessible receipts by 2025.
Key Requirements
Contactless Payments: No app-only restrictions—drivers can tap and pay directly.
Transparent Pricing: Display price per kWh before charging starts.
Accessible Receipts: Digital or printed, available after each session.
Implications for Operators
Networks failing to comply may face penalties. However, operators adopting API-based integrations can automate payment reporting, reducing compliance costs and improving user trust.
Click&Plug’s Role
Click&Plug supports UK operators with white-label platforms designed for seamless compliance. Built-in payment modules align with both UK and EU requirements.
