The latest update to the Charge Repay Driver frontend makes charging and billing company vehicles easier. A particularly helpful new feature is the automatic detection of charging sessions via RFID cards at calibration-compliant wallboxes.

New Features in the Driver Frontend

Since July, the Driver frontend not only features a redesigned interface but also improved functionality:

  • Faster loading times: Content is displayed quickly.

  • Structured onboarding: The process is clear and easy to follow.

  • Vehicle management: Mileage for new vehicles can be entered effortlessly.

A key new feature is the automatic assignment of charging sessions via RFID cards.

RFID Card: Activate Automatic Billing

Anyone using a calibration-compliant wallbox and authenticating via RFID card can now link the card directly to the Charge Repay Service. Once the card is assigned to a company vehicle, the system automatically detects business-related charging sessions and marks them for billing.

Assigning RFID Cards – Step by Step

The RFID card can be assigned directly via the web app:

  1. Start charging – Authenticate at the wallbox using your RFID card.

  2. Open settings – Go to the Charge Repay Service and open the settings via the menu.

  3. Select RFID card – The most recently used card will be displayed with a timestamp.

  4. Assign card – Select the appropriate card. From now on, all charging sessions authenticated with this card will automatically be recognized as business-related.

Note: Manual entry of the RFID card is also possible. However, assignment via the app is more convenient and secure.
