Payment Terminals allow drivers to pay for EV charging directly at the charging station using standard payment cards. Integrated with Ocean’s platform, these terminals support secure, compliant transactions and enable ad-hoc charging without requiring mobile apps, accounts, or prior registration. This solution supports agnostic orchestration with various providers, including industry leaders like Payter, Nayax, eService, and many more.

Payment terminals are essential for public EV charging, especially as regulations increasingly require transparent, ad-hoc payment options. Without on-site card payments, operators risk excluding drivers, increasing support overhead, or failing to meet compliance requirements.
By integrating payment terminals, CPOs and EMSPs can:
Enable card-based payments directly at charging stations
Meet regulatory requirements for ad-hoc charging
Offer a simple, accessible payment option for all drivers
Support ad-hoc users without requiring apps or subscriptions
Provide consistent payment experiences across networks
Reduce friction for first-time and roaming drivers
