  • Credit/Debit Cards
  • Contactless via tap or NFC
  • QR code scanning

Full Customer Experience

  • Our team can build a full customer experience with the IM30 or a similar device that enables the customer selection and payment experience to be combined. 
  • This would include a single screen and a payment solution that is PCI compliant, and accepts EMV, Mag-Stripe, and Contactless payment transactions directly at the charging unit.
  • It also allows for integrating into existing loyalty programs to drive additional incentives for reuse of the charger, upgrading to faster charging modes, or uplift of sales in-store.

Industry Challenges

The Electric Vehicle market is rapidly expanding in the United States economy as a result of the government’s effort to reduce emissions and the car manufacturers commitment to go all electric. It is expected that by 2040, 60 percent of vehicle sales will be electric.
Our solution allows us to work with all vendors and we can customize the solution. Currently, the charging stations have a touch screen with CRT. When we replace the CRT with our device, the customer will be able to do everything from our device.
Many charging stations require people to download an app which is time consuming and not customer-friendly through a cumbersome and rigid registration process. Our solutions do not require customers to download cumbersome applications and they can use any credit or debit card, tap to pay or NFC to pay for charging EVs.
Additionally, the government entities are requiring a physical payment option as part of their roll-out of EV charging stations funded by federal dollars. Standardization will be necessary for the general public and to make charging simple for everyone.

Proven Solution in the Petroleum Industry

 

Sound Payments entered the petroleum market a couple of years ago with Sound Easy Pump, a unique retrofit payment solution for the petroleum industry that is cost-effective, PCI compliant, and accepts EMV, Mag-Stripe, and Contactless payment transactions directly at the pump. Independent stations can now meet industry requirements without expensive upgrades or closing stations for several weeks. Now Sound Easy Pump is a proven, simplified method with 1500 fueling points installed across the country. It was built so that it could be compatible with any dispenser that is connected with Commander, Passport or Fusion even if there is no existing card reader. We can implement similar technology that is secure and customized.
