Transforming EV Charging Through Strategic Partnerships and Scalable Payments

As the demand for accessible, scalable, and reliable EV charging solutions continues to grow, industry leaders are forging partnerships to drive innovation. Payroc is working alongside multiple EV technology providers to power seamless payment experiences across different EV charging models. Two key partners—EVmode and Electric Era—have chosen Payroc’s flexible, secure payment infrastructure to support their unique charging solutions, ensuring businesses and consumers alike benefit from frictionless transactions and scalable deployment options.

Payroc, EVmode, UIC Introduce Innovative, Accessible EV Charging Solution at NRF 2025

An innovative new offering merges EVmode’s Level 2 EV charger, UIC’s EZPay payment reader embedded payment technology, and Payroc’s seamless payment gateway and processing capabilities.

EVmode, UIC, and Payroc, three leading innovators in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, unveiled the innovative and groundbreaking new EV charging solution in January at the National Retail Federation’s annual event, NRF 2025.

Tailored to complement or act as a more budget-friendly alternative to Level 3 fast chargers, this solution is designed to help businesses and property owners attract and retain customers. Beyond customer retention, it also drives sustainability and creates new revenue opportunities by addressing the everyday charging needs of EV drivers. By seamlessly blending into consumers’ daily routines, this charger offers an affordable, practical solution to meet the rising demand for EV infrastructure, as EV adoption continues to grow quickly.

“Payroc is proud to bring secure, user-friendly payment processing to this innovative charging solution,” said Todd Bellino, Director of Payment Facilitation and Integrated Payments, Payroc. “Together, we’re driving forward the adoption of EV infrastructure with solutions tailored to both the needs of businesses and consumers.”

With EVmode’s Level 2 chargers, enhanced by UIC’s integrated payment devices and powered by Payroc’s secure payment processing, this system presents a cost-effective solution for incremental charging. Its compact design, fast installation, and low initial costs make it a perfect choice for businesses looking to attract EV drivers, increase foot traffic, and build customer loyalty.

Offering these convenient charging options not only allows businesses to position themselves as sustainability leaders but also creates fresh revenue opportunities through usage fees, all while supporting eco-conscious initiatives in their communities.

“UIC’s embedded payment solutions simplify the charging experience for drivers who prefer an app-free experience while creating new revenue streams for merchants,” said Robert Wang, VP, Sales, UIC. “This partnership delivers a seamless, scalable solution for communities across the nation.”

Key Features & Benefits of the Innovative New EV Charging Solution

EVmode’s Made-In-USA chargers feature high-bright displays with capacitive touch buttons and deliver up to 11.5kW of charge. Built to last, they hold the industry’s highest environmental rating (NEMA 4X), resisting dust, rust, corrosion, and high-pressure water spray for reliable performance.

Properties can maximize convenience with chargers that require minimal space and infrastructure upgrades, making them ideal for various business settings. Additionally, business owners can leverage rebates and tax incentives to cut costs and promote sustainability, supporting both economic and environmental goals.

Everyday Users Enjoy Enhanced Convenience

This new EV charging solution offers a range of benefits for users, making the charging experience more convenient and flexible. With no apps required, payments are simplified through easy credit card options, while supporting leading payment methods like mobile wallets, giving customers the freedom to choose what works best for them.

The system seamlessly integrates incremental charging into daily routines, whether it’s during errands or commutes, ensuring drivers can stay charged without interrupting their day.

“EVmode is committed to making EV charging accessible and practical for all,” said Tim Kang, Director of Sales, EVmode. “By integrating our advanced technology with UIC and Payroc, we’re enabling businesses to meet EV charging demands effectively.”

Flexible Payment Options Make Adoption of the System Easier

Payroc’s adaptable payment options support a wide range of business needs, offering flexibility for businesses to use their preferred payment processor or opt for Payroc’s full-service acquiring program. This flexibility allows businesses to choose the solution that best suits their operations, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and providing comprehensive support for payment processing.

Whether businesses want to maintain their current provider or take advantage of Payroc’s all-inclusive services, they can customize their payment setup to meet specific requirements and streamline transactions. This same flexibility is why multiple EV innovators—including both EVmode and Electric Era—have chosen Payroc as their trusted payments partner.

Electric Era Also Chooses Payroc to Power Payment Acceptance

Electric Era, another leader in EV charging infrastructure, also selected Payroc as its payments provider to support its high-performance, multi-platform charging network.

The company offers two flexible operating models:

  • Own & Operate Model – A fully outsourced, turnkey EV charging solution.
  • Site Host Model – Owners rent out their parking spaces and receive guaranteed lease payments.

When seeking a payments partner, Electric Era found that many existing payment service providers in the market fell short in two critical areas: hardware quality and transparency in payment processing. Electric Era needed an EV charging payment solution that could support their multi-platform point-of-sale solution and ensure seamless operations.

Payroc was chosen by Electric Era as the ideal partner, providing the granular control and flexibility of payment systems required to power their EV charging stations.

Two Different EV Charging Solutions, One Trusted Payment Partner

While EVmode and Electric Era offer distinct EV charging solutions, they both recognized the need for a flexible, secure, and scalable payment partner. Payroc’s technology supports both models, ensuring fast, secure transactions that allow businesses to provide reliable EV charging while generating new revenue.
