Landis+Gyr OCEAN Integrates Payter Cloud to Expand AFIR Compliant Offering

Ljubljana, Slovenia - August 8, 2024 - Landis+Gyr OCEAN EV Charging Software enhanced its offering to leading charge point operators (CPOs) by integrating with Payter Cloud Payment Service (CPS), making charging even more convenient for EV drivers.

OCEAN EV Charging Software (previously known as Etrel OCEAN) has been providing contactless payment for several years, through chargers with locally integrated payment terminals, including Payter.

The integration of Payter CPS marks an advancement in collaboration, jointly offering OCEAN and Payter CPO partners with a plug-and-play contactless payment solution that is not restricted to any specific charger brand or model.

OCEAN also provides an out-of-the-box billing engine which automatically generates a charging receipt for the EV drivers, enabling CPOs easier centralized overview over operations.

"With the new integration, we provide agnostic and customizable end-to-end solutions for any CPO on any market, which is especially important in today's times of diverse regulatory requirements." said Rok Poteko, Head of OCEAN Business Unit at Landis+Gyr EV Solutions.

OCEAN EV Charging Software, integrated with Payter CPS, now offers a hardware-agnostic solution for payments, which ensures flexibility for CPOs and enables the EV drivers to charge the vehicle without hassle (no registration, no RFID card or subscription needed).

"We're confident that integrating with Landis+Gyr EV Solutions will offer more CPOs a seamless end-to-end solution, ensuring their services are future-proof and compliant with AFIR." said Ben Stocker, CCO at Payter.

As we look to the future, it's clear that the way we pay for things is changing, with contactless payments leading the charge, making transactions quicker, safer, and more convenient for everyone.
