Eneliver, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Akimasa Nakajima) has added a browser payment function (visitor charging) to its EV charging service.

By simply scanning the QR code displayed on the charger with a smartphone camera, users can complete the process from charging to payment without installing an app or registering as a member.

It supports Credit Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, allowing users to start charging immediately with one-tap payment.

Background of Feature Addition As the number of EVs in Japan increases, the importance of making charging infrastructure accessible to everyone is growing. Previously, EV charging services often required dedicated apps, creating a barrier for first-time users.

Eneliver developed this app-free, registration-free browser charging function to realize an environment where everyone driving an EV can charge easily and anywhere. This feature integrates with the EV charging management cloud system 'Eneliver Cloud' and will be deployed sequentially to existing facilities.

Key Features of Browser Payment - Instant use without apps or registration: Users can scan a QR code to start, stop, and pay for charging via a browser. - One-tap payment via Credit Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay: Supports major card brands (VISA, Mastercard, JCB, Amex, Diners, Discover) and digital wallets. - Available on both iPhone and Android: Works via standard browsers (Safari, Chrome) without dependence on specific models or apps.

For Facility Owners: Offer Free or Discounted Charging Owners can issue coupons through 'Eneliver Cloud' to provide charging benefits to customers. Coupons can be applied directly at the payment screen, supporting flexible operation strategies such as 'one free charge for hotel guests' or 'same-day only vouchers.'

How to Use 1. Connect EV: Plug the charger cable into the EV. 2. Scan QR: Scan the QR code on the charger. 3. Browser Auto-Launch: The standard browser opens with the charging screen. 4. Payment Selection: Choose Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Credit Card. 5. Start Charging: Charging begins automatically upon payment completion.
