PaynoPain optimizes payments at electric vehicle charging stations

Electric mobility is booming, and more and more drivers are choosing electric vehicles. To meet this demand, charging stations are becoming increasingly important.

This growth shows that the number of electric vehicles on the roads is rising, and consequently, the demand for adequate infrastructure is increasing. Therefore, at PaynoPain, as a provider of payment solutions for the mobility and transport sector, we have helped Acciona Energía improve the user experience in payments and optimize the management of charging stations.

The challenge: improving payments at EV charging points

About Acciona Energía

Acciona Energía is a company that develops renewable energy projects in Spain. With over 30 years of experience in electric mobility, the company manages an extensive network of electric vehicle charging points across the country, facilitating the transition to electric mobility.

About the electric mobility sector in Spain

According to the latest Electric Mobility Yearbook by AEDIVE (Business Association for the Development and Promotion of Electric Mobility), Spain now has 40,438 charging points compared to 30,350 in 2023. This represents a growth of 33.2% in just one year. This expansion rate shows that more drivers and companies trust electric infrastructure and highlights the importance of continuing to improve the charging experience, both in availability and ease of payment.

Payment solutions made by PaynoPain

This partnership helps Acciona Energía access a series of payment solutions offered by PaynoPain.

Phisical POS available 24/7

Since the collaboration began, we have installed over 350 unattended IM30 payment terminals across Spain. These devices are ideal for accepting card payments and digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay.

These terminals are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and are extremely robust. They are autonomous, designed to operate without supervision, and available every day of the year at any time, allowing customers to charge their vehicles without waiting.

Integration with management systems

Our API connects the terminals with the charging point management system. This allows the cost to be automatically calculated based on the energy consumed (kWh) and synchronizes information in real time, facilitating operational control and reducing manual tasks.

Automatic digital ticketing

The payment process is completed quickly and easily. Thanks to our technology, the user enters their email, verifies the card used, and automatically receives a receipt with all the details of their charge.

Advantages of PaynoPain payment solutions

The transition to electric mobility does not depend solely on the number of charging points but also on the complete user experience. Having reliable, accessible stations with simple payments makes a difference, allowing every driver to move with peace of mind and confidence.

These are some of the main benefits we achieve by implementing our payment solutions at electric vehicle charging stations:

1. Reduction of waiting times

Thanks to the installation of unattended physical POS and payment automation, drivers complete transactions faster, optimizing the flow at stations.

2. Smoother user experience

Frictionless payments and digital ticketing create a comfortable and uninterrupted charging experience, increasing customer satisfaction.

3. Increased driver loyalty

By improving the charging experience, users are more likely to return frequently to stations equipped with PaynoPain solutions, strengthening brand loyalty.

4. Decrease in payment incidents

Errors, chargebacks, and transaction failures are reduced, ensuring that each payment is processed correctly.

5. Compliance with regulations and security standards

All solutions meet legal requirements and security standards, including PCI DSS. We integrate technologies such as tokenization, end-to-end encryption, and advanced authentication (EMV 3DS), and use a proprietary anti-fraud system with continuous monitoring to protect every payment and data point.

6. Scalability

PaynoPain’s payment infrastructure allows for the solution to be expanded to new stations or charging points easily, without complex configurations.
