easy charging
Paying for a charging session should be as easy as paying for a refueling session.
- Compliant with calibration law
- Charging station neutral
- Backend neutral
- PSP-independent
- Independent of payment terminal
- Internationalizable
- Integration of price signals from renewable energies
The challenge today
The various cards, apps and the high number of value creators increase the complexity of billing processes in emobility, which leads to high kWh prices. In addition, the travelcards are not barrier-free and generally require a continuing obligation to be entered into.
Charging tariff S
- Uniform prices at over 400,000 charging points in Europe
- Full flexibility: cancel or switch monthly
- Photos of the EMP charging locations for better orientation
- A free charging card worth €9.90 included
- Cheapest KWh price in the entire EMP HyperGrid
Our goal
A calibration law-compliant and charging station-independent solution for ad-hoc payment with variable tariffs.
Certification of cloud-based software in conjunction with a tariff display device to be combined as an additional device with different, conformity-rated charging stations.
The additional device does not have to be mentioned in the certification of the charging stations. The charging stations are named in the certification of the additional device.
The ev-pay approach leads to CPO empowerment
- The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) stipulates payment by debit and credit card for all charging stations >50 kW from April 2024.
- The CPO has price sovereignty and direct contact with the ev-driver, as the ev-driver can purchase charging current directly from the CPO.
- This leads to a higher margin for the CPO and generally to lower sales prices for the kWh to the ev-driver.
- ev-pay enables this approach and thus contributes to a high level of acceptance among CPOs, but also among emobility enthusiasts and those who are not yet emobility enthusiasts.
*In the ev-pay model, the energy supply company share is higher in percentage terms, as the energy purchase from the energy supply company remains the same, but the sales price to emobility customers is lower than in the classic model in the upper range.
ev-pay Tariff server
The heart of the system is the ev-pay tariff server (EPTS), which stores historical tariff information in a trustworthy manner.
Consumers can see at any time which tariff applied to their charging process and when. On request, the EPTS provides the currently valid tariff to the payment station. The payment station is only connected to the charging station via the cloud (retrofitting possible from 01.01.2027 in accordance with the AFIR)! The CPMS (Charge Point Management System) of the CPO can continue to be used. The charging cards will continue to be billed in it. The EPTS monitors the entire process and the accuracy of the ad hoc billing process and ensures a reliable link between the measured values and the tariff. The receipt can be called up afterwards.
Here we are in coordination with the PTB.
The ev-pay approach was presented on 12.12.2023 at the Bonn calibration law conference on the premises of Deutsche Telekom and was also taken up as a proposed solution for the billing of ad hoc charging processes in compliance with calibration law.
Your benefits with ev-pay

Price signals
ev-pay focuses exclusively on the processes of ad hoc charging and receives a percentage of the transactions carried out.
Where is ev-pay used?
The ev-pay offer is needed in essential charging scenarios and will greatly simplify public* charging!
Die Ideale Lösung…
- ... at Charging Hubs (City Hubs and Trans European Axis)
- ... while shopping
- ... to depots
- ... at work
- ... in multi-family houses
*Public charging is anywhere where the Emobilist is unknown to the CPO and can charge on the CPO’s property.
