EV payment specialist Paythru has partnered with global fintech leader Adyen to co-develop an omni-channel payments platform for EV charging.

The collaboration aims to address the problem of inconsistent EV charging payments and will deliver support for over 100 global payment methods across 100+ countries, including mobile wallets and fleet cards.

The partnership will integrate Adyen’s platform with Paythru’s software and expertise in EV-specific payments, tackling current challenges where EV drivers face different payment methods at different charge points.

The EV payments platform will allow drivers to pay with their preferred payment method, which can be easily processed and allocated to the charge point operator. The platform will also incorporate a range of digital features to make the user experience easier, such as emailed digital receipts. It will be purpose-built to integrate into EV charging software, including compatibility with emerging standards.

The EV charging payment platform will also be set up for Plug & Charge (ISO 15118) functionality, ensuring compatibility with energy optimisation and bi-directional charging, and will deliver transparent pricing, digital receipts and real-time data integration.

The solution is also set up with white-label front-ends for charge point operators and fleet managers.

Nicole Olbe, managing director UK&I, Adyen, said: “Drivers should be able to charge their vehicles without navigating lots of apps or unclear pricing. It’s why we’re collaborating with Paythru to deliver a global omni-channel payment solution that provides seamless, reliable and transparent payment experiences worldwide.”

This partnership underpins Paythru’s strategic shift from being a leading EV payment provider to a full-service EV commerce platform.

Keith Brown, MD, commented: “With this collaboration, Paythru and Adyen will set a new standard for the EV charging experience, rooted in accessibility, trust and simplicity. Together, we’re removing the friction that slows down adoption and building the trusted, interoperable foundation the EV industry needs to thrive.”
