One button press starts parking and charging
According to the Finnish Transport Agency, the car stands up to 95 % of its life - most often at home or in the yard of the workplace. This makes parking charging a natural solution for electric cars. Surveys and popularity of implementation options show that slow charging is the most preferred option for many motorists.
When the car is parked in a paid area, there is also a parking fee. In recent years, mobile payment applications have become more common in paying parking, but electric car drivers have often had to use two separate payment methods: one for parking and another for charging. This has sparked debate because the process is not user -friendly.
At the Hervanta campus of the University of Tampere, the matter has been resolved by one press. The user reads the QR code of the charging point, which contains the necessary information to start charging and parking. If only a motorist needs parking, he can pay it directly in the application by selecting the area from the map. Electric car drivers, on the other hand, get the charging started with the same application and at the same payment transaction.
Parking and charging on the Hervanta campus can be started with one button press.
There is much more in the background than the user sees. When parking is started, the application activates the user -entered registration number, whereby the parking attendant sees the payment is valid. At the same time, the system receives information about the selected charging point selected and launches it. The charging point measures the use of the plug in use and sends real -time kilowatt -hour information to the application. The user can easily monitor their consumption and the duration of parking and charging from one view.
When charging and parking ends - either through the cable removal or through the application after closing the event - the system calculates the charge based on the final consumption and parking time. The user receives a receipt and property owner event information on their reporting page. Payments for parking and electricity can be paid to either one or more bodies, depending on the site.
All signs suggest that electric cars are the choice of more and more motorists and car manufacturers. It is our job to ensure that electric cars are not only durable but also a hassle -free part of everyday life. Digital solutions, such as a combined parking and charging service, are step towards smoother and greener movement.
