Importance of an RFID Card/Token

As an EV Network, Charge Hub operates as both a Charge Point Operator (CPO) and eMobility Service Provider (eMSP).  In the role of a Charge Point Operator, we are responsible for operating, making available, maintaining authorisation rules, and monetising a pool of charging stations, on behalf of contracted Charge Station Owners (CSO).  Simultaneously, as an e-Mobility Service Provider, we manage the EV Driver side, overseeing Driver registration, payment management, and connecting Drivers to available charging stations through our App, Plugshare and any connected mapping provider.  Accessible stations could be from the (Charge Hub) CPO or any connected third party charging networks via Roaming.  Through the Roaming connection with platforms like Hubject, Gireve, and e-clearing.net, a Charge Hub Account (and RFID Card) holder could charge at any interconnected charging station worldwide.

 

The majority of EV charging sessions globally initiate and conclude using a charging key - a physical RFID card or tag.  Each RFID card contains a chip with an embedded UID (security code), which is associated with an EMA-ID (the identifier printed on the RFID).  Together, the UID and EMA-ID form a Token, informing the CPO of which eMSP's EV Driver is trying to charge.  This enables the CPO to verify whether the EV Driver has a valid payment method or contract, allowing them to charge at the station.

All physical tokens on the Charge Hub Platform also exist digitally (on the App), so that an EV Driver is able to start a charging session digitally via the App, or with the physical token.  The active session could also be stopped through either the App or RFID Card.

To begin, download the Charge Hub App from your App Store and enter your personal details, and set up your preferred payment method.  Upon registration, your Account will be established as a Driver Account, featruing a digital EMA-ID, allowing you to charge immediately, via the Charge Hub App.  You can then request an RFID Card from the App, or the provided form above.  Your physical RFID Card will be posted out to you, within one business day - from Brisbane or one of our closer Partners.  An email will also be sent to your set-up Charge Hub User Account registered email address, providing access to your Account and charging history through our Driver Portal.

For Drivers, please note that to streamline costs, we typically consolidate all charging activity throughout each week and only bill your Account/credit card once per week, for the total amount used during that period.  Rather than after every session.

For Corporate or Fleet Managers, your collective Driver Accounts can be 'bundled' together and invoiced to one Account, monthly.  Feel free to Get in Touch for more information.
