RFID card

An RFID card or token identifies a charging customer or account when it is presented to a compatible charge point reader. The identifier is sent through the charging platform so the session can be authorised and attributed to the correct account. RFID remains common on public, fleet and workplace networks because it can work without the driver opening a phone app at the charger. A roaming-enabled RFID credential can also authorise charging on networks operated by other CPOs where the relevant commercial and technical agreements exist.
