Dover Fueling Solutions partners on EV payment
Technology firm Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS) has partnered with ICASA Energy Solutions and Technical Services Group (TSG) to offer DX Power – an electric vehicle (EV) payment solution.
The deal sees DFS work with ICASA, an end-to-end cloud solutions firm for energy, on a product for station operators to provide improved visibility and control over EV transactions and flexible payment options.
As part of the DFS and ICASA partnership, the two companies completed a pilot program using TSG, at an AVIA VOLT site in Enschede, Netherlands. Through the pilot, DX Power successfully bridged the gap between EV chargers and the remaining forecourt system.
Speaking about the product, Raf Tormans, Senior Manager, Product Management at DFS, said: “DX Power makes it possible for EV chargers to be included in transactions through the point of sale (POS) system and the outdoor payment terminal. This enables customers to pay for EV charging with cash, as well as a traditional bank card, local account and fleet card.”
Steve Vandermeeren, COO/CTO of ICASA, said: “The complexity and the biggest challenge of public EV charging lies in the identification and authentication of the EV driver. The partnership with Dover Fueling Solutions and the successful integration with DX Power allows us to authorize EV charging sessions via both fleet card and bank card, not requiring any subscriptions and providing EV drivers with the freedom to charge anywhere.
“DX Power will enrich the customer journey and stimulate electric mobility by offering all existing and new payment methods while giving fuel retailers a clear insight on costs before and after the EV charging transaction,” said Tommy van der Sluijs, Business Development Manager EV, TSG Charge. “Only an intensive and successful cooperation between DFS, ICASA, and TSG could have led to this successful result.”
