Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have seen immense growth in North America: there are now 18 EV charging networks offering over 28,900 public charging locations with over 87,000 charging outlets in US and Canada. With this rapid growth, the industry faces challenges in providing drivers with a consistent and easy-to-use payment experience from one EV charging station to the next. The Secure Technology Alliance is hosting a webinar on payment platform innovations for EV charging stations to educate industry stakeholders on new technologies that can address this challenge.
