RFID, App or Card Reader: Choosing Payment Hardware for a Site
RFID and app control access on the charger; a card reader is separate payment hardware no EVDANCE listing states. Choose by who has to pay, and how.
As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.

Public chargers need a cable plan in the specification: what parks the connector, what controls the slack, and what the supplier confirms in writing per model.

A project’s signage package covers wayfinding, bay identity, price, rules and accessible bays — with every binding value read from the authority’s current text.

Bollards and wheel stops are specified from the site’s own traffic picture: which vehicles reach the charger, on what path, and what the engineer’s drawing must show.

Terminal duties rarely come from a general law. They come from funding rules like NEVI, from contracts, or from market texts — read yours, in writing, first.

Coastal and desert weatherproofing is specified beyond the IP line: salt, sand, heat and UV each become a written question the model’s file must answer.

Cold-climate specs are written confirmations: the model’s stated temperature range, IP rating, cable behaviour and snow plan. An IP rating alone never answers a temperature question.

Mounting posts and bases split in two: the project designs the position and foundation; the supplier confirms the model’s mounting arrangement in writing. Neither half can be assumed from a photo.

Lighting and CCTV enter a charging project as scope decisions: light so drivers can use bays after dark, cameras as incident evidence, and data duties confirmed for the project’s jurisdiction.

The application stands on its load statement: the summed charger load in the utility’s own form. Capacity, connection point and terms arrive only in the utility’s written offer.
