AFIR: How to set up a scalable and compliant payment infrastructure for charging networks
As of April, paying at charging points will be uniform and simplified.
AFIR stands for Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation and is a new payments regulation that ensures paying at all charging points will be uniform and simplified. This means that drivers of electric vehicle will be able to pay with their debit or credit card at any charging station.
Under PSD2, owners of charging points will not be allowed to handle third party funds.
When AFIR is implemented, owners of charging points (or any other party in the supply chain) will not be allowed to handle third party funds and act as a payment service provider unless they have the required license to do so.
Charging point operators will need to work with a licensed payment provider.
Working with a licensed payment service provider will ensure you will stay compliant and are able tocsafely manage third party funds under the European PSD2 regulation.
