Juice Technology enables operation of the JUICE CHARGER me 3 with the wallee payment terminal for public charging

Juice Technology AG – manufacturer of charging stations and software, leader in mobile charging stations for electric vehicles – is partnering with Wallee Group AG, a Winterthur-based payment service provider, to enable convenient payment via credit/debit card or mobile payment methods at charging stations.

“Now it is finally possible to pay for the charging current for your electric car both easily and affordably via a credit/debit card or, for example, using Twint. This eliminates the need for the countless charging cards, which in some cases benefit up to four different parties and have always led to inflated charging tariffs. The Swiss solution is easy to set up, cheap to use, maintenance-free and safe – and the operators have full control over the charged tariffs, which are displayed directly on the screen for maximum transparency”, states Christoph Erni, CEO and founder of Juice.

The JUICE CHARGER me 3 combined with the terminal from wallee represents an attractive alternative to charging networks. It is particularly beneficial to external users requiring an uncomplicated charging solution for their electric cars. They can pay for the electricity used to charge their cars on the JUICE CHARGER me 3 with credit, debit and cash cards as well as with mobile payment methods such as Twint, Apple Pay and Google Pay. This opens up additional sources of income for commercial providers from various sectors, including restaurants, hotels, sports facilities, retail outlets, real estate developers and businesses with company parking spaces. Now everyone can be a professional provider of charging stations.

The system – i.e. the Juice charging station with a wallee payment terminal – is already being used in some first projects, such as the Laax ski resort in Graubünden and the Riedmatt shopping centre in Rümlang.

wallee transforms the JUICE CHARGER me 3 into a commercial charging station

The JUICE CHARGER me 3 is fully networked and ideal for installations of any size. The simple connection via a ribbon cable, reliability and compatibility with all electric cars as well as flexible scalability make it a future-proof solution, even in the professional sector.

Sascha Krüsi, CXO and co-founder of wallee, is delighted about the collaboration: “As a partner who, like Juice, calls the Swiss canton of Zurich their home, we are pleased to have the perfect complement to Juice charging stations in our range. With wallee and the wallee terminal, charging stations can easily accept modern payment methods, including both credit and debit cards as well as contactless payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay or Twint – the latter being particularly important for the Swiss market. Thanks to attractive conditions along with rapid billing and payment, we offer an ideal solution for commercial charging infrastructures. Operators have complete freedom when it comes to charging tariffs and electricity prices. And since fleet cards can also be integrated, providers can serve all user groups with a single solution.”

What does this mean for operators?

Thanks to the partnership with wallee, customers benefit from favourable transaction fees in comparison to competitors. In Switzerland, wallee has already established itself as a reliable service provider in many areas of payment processing, and this creates an additional basis of trust. Juice provides an all-inclusive package, comprising the charging station, payment terminal, backend, setup and onboarding as well as training courses to ensure trouble-free operation.

The aim of the cooperation between Juice and wallee is to create a cost-effective and easily accessible infrastructure that is equally suitable for both small and large installations. As Christoph Erni stresses: “We are of the firm conviction that this combination of innovative technology and trustworthy payment services will pay a crucial part in shaping the future of e-mobility.”

Projects that combine the wallee payment terminal with Juice charging stations are currently privately financed.
