Plug&Charge is a charging system for electric vehicles that simplifies and automates the process of connecting and authenticating the vehicle during charging. With Plug&Charge, users can connect their electric car to a compatible charging point without the need for credit cards, apps or access keys.
The Plug&Charge system uses secure communication technology between the vehicle and the charging point, which allows information to be exchanged between the two devices. This information includes vehicle and owner identification data and charging preferences.
When an electric vehicle equipped with Plug&Charge is connected to a compatible charging point, the devices recognise each other and automatically start the charging process. No additional information or authentication is required. The vehicle automatically disconnects once charging is complete or at the end of the preset period.
In essence, the Plug&Charge standard offers a convenient and efficient solution, which, thanks to the recognition of the car and the user, also makes payment automatic.
