Where it fits

Flats and VvE car parks where each user pays for their own kWh; company car parks that should not charge the neighbours’ cars; Plaza Charge poles; and any charger that must accept a public charge card.

The card-less alternative

With the ISO 15118 module the vehicle identifies itself, and no card is needed. For most sites the NFC reader is the cheaper answer.
