21 July 2024 — JuiceUp has officially launched its open payment solution system for EV chargers at EVX 2024, and simultaneously announced partnerships with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) that will use the solution for their EV chargers.
Card-tap charging, without the app
At the moment, the main way to activate an EV charger and pay for charging is through mobile apps. With the growing number of CPOs in the market, that means downloading multiple apps and registering accounts with multiple CPOs to keep an EV covered.
With the card payment option, users do not have to rely on a mobile app. They can activate an EV charger and pay the fee using a credit or debit card through a physical card payment terminal.
The JuiceUp payment system is also slightly different in that customers can monitor charging progress remotely — by scanning a QR code on the card terminal screen, which opens the charging status page in a web browser.
EVPower is JuiceUp's first CPO partner
Under JuiceUp's first CPO partner, EVPower, the system has already been deployed on EV chargers in the Klang Valley, Melaka and Johor. The locations include Arte Cheras, Arte Month Kiara, Mercure Kuala Lumpur Trion, Sports Arena Kuala Lumpur, The Concept Hotel Melaka and Menara Hartamas Johor Bahru.
JuiceUp also announced that three other CPOs — Cucuk, JusEV and TNB Electron — will integrate their EV chargers with the open payment system, although rollout timelines for these are not yet known as the deployment process is still in the early stages.
Beyond CPOs, JuiceUp signed partnerships with parties across the EV ecosystem — charger manufacturers, financial institutions, payment solutions, IoT service providers and renewable energy companies — including Visa, CIMB, Bank Islam, Bank Muamalat, Gading Kencana, Malakoff, TELD, VSD Automation, Sinexcel, Reactive Energy and My Evolution.
