User Authentication at a Charge Point

CleverEV itself supports many ways for users to authenticate themselves at a Charge Point, the available methods depend on what the Charge Point supports and owner of the Charge Point has enabled.

Warning

Some authentication methods are currently in beta and can be enabled only by customers accepted in the beta program. Enterprise customers can reach out to their Account Team to get early access.

Supported authentication methods:

• In-app authentication with user accounts
• [RFID Cards]
• [Plug & Charge]
• [Credit Card]

Authentication methods linked to the same user account can be used interchangeably. For example, a user can start charging with an RFID card and use the CleverEV Mobile App to end the session.

Additional methods may be available at some Charge Points. The two most common ones are RFID cards used in Hotels or Offices, and QR codes/barcodes used in combination with parking systems.
