With the popularization of electric vehicles, the construction of ev charging stations, especially commercial DC charging stations, has become an important infrastructure. In the design and construction of charging stations, payment terminals and management systems that support credit cards and the like are essential. In this paper, we will discuss in detail the reasons why these features are needed for electric vehicle charging stations, taking into account authoritative data from around the world.

As the clean energy of the future, electric vehicles are gradually replacing traditional fuel vehicles as the first choice for people's travel. However, to realize the popularity of electric vehicles, a perfect charging infrastructure is essential. Commercial charging stations, as the key equipment for EV charging, play an important role in user experience and marketing with their perfect functions and convenience. Therefore, commercial EV charging stations need to support credit card and other payment terminals and management systems to meet users' payment needs and provide efficient management services.

Providing convenient payment methods

1、Convenient payment for users

Supporting payment terminals such as credit cards can facilitate user payments and eliminate the inconvenience of cash payments. Users can simply swipe their cards or use mobile payment applications to make payments without having to carry large amounts of change or make change. This greatly improves the user's payment experience and charging efficiency.

2、Promote international exchange

Supporting payment terminals such as credit cards also promotes international exchange. Tourists and business people from different countries and regions can make payments directly with their own credit cards, no longer needing to exchange currency or being restricted to cash payments. This facilitates the development of tourism and business activities and provides a unified payment standard for international EV charging services.

Provide efficient management services

1 、Realize remote monitoring and maintenance

The charging post that supports the management system can realize remote monitoring and maintenance. Through the management system, the operator of the charging pile can monitor the working status of the charging pile, power consumption and other information in real time. In case of failure or abnormality, the operator can quickly take measures to maintain the charging pile, improving the reliability and availability of the charging pile.

2 、Data statistics and analysis

The management system can also perform data statistics and analysis. The operator can collect data on the usage of the charging pile, including the number of times of charging, charging hours, charging power, etc.. Through the analysis of these data, the operator can understand the user's charging demand, usage habits and other information, so as to optimize the layout of the charging pile and the service strategy, and provide a better user experience.

Authoritative data support

1 、Popularization of charging payment methods

According to the data released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2023, more than 60% of the charging posts in the world will support credit cards and other payment terminals. This shows the global popularity of payment terminals supporting credit cards and other payment methods and their importance in the field of electric vehicle charging.

2 、Advantages of remote monitoring and management

According to the data analysis of the European Union of Charging Infrastructure (EUCARIS), compared with traditional charging piles, the failure rate of charging piles that support remote monitoring and management is reduced by more than 30%, and the maintenance time is shortened by more than 20%. This shows that charging stations with management systems have significant advantages in terms of operational efficiency and user experience.

Conclusion

Electric vehicle charging piles need to support credit card and other payment terminals and management systems. Such support not only provides convenient payment methods and promotes international exchange, but also realizes efficient remote monitoring and maintenance as well as data statistics and analysis. With the support of these features, EV charging piles can provide a better user experience and promote the popularization and development of electric vehicles.
