EZQC Reinvents the Quick Charging Experience!
Smartphone EV Charging Service Begins Field Test Operation
- Payment service with no membership subscription required -
Delta Electronics (Japan), Inc. has announced the start the field test operations for “EZQC” (Patented), a new IoT payment service for EV charging from March 30, 2016.
With this unique IoT service, users do not require any advance membership but can use an EV charger simply with a credit card transaction using “WebPay”. There is no need for an additional card dedicated to an external terminal or for a network subscription that is bonded to charging service installers or operators. The service not only secures and protects end users’ privacy with no tracking by charging station operators of personal information, but also enables charging operators to create their own surrounding service business. The service provides discount coupons directly to a users’ smartphone and encourages them to visit the shop while charging. It is also possible in the future to cooperate with a 3rd party to collecting points/miles.
This IoT service was developed to satisfy the needs of users and EV charging installers/operators by integrating the latest technologies such as the widely accepted “OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol)”, GPS, Bluetooth Low Energy, secure mobile payment and iOS/Android platforms.
