Why Secure EV Payments Matter More Than Ever

Paying for an EV charge should never feel like a risk. Yet every day across the UK, drivers tap cards on outdoor readers and rely on ageing RFID cards without knowing how exposed those methods really are. ONEEV changes that by giving every driver a safe, seamless and fully protected way to pay from the moment they plug in.

Why public card readers and RFID cards can put drivers at risk

Many EV chargers still rely on physical card readers placed outdoors. These terminals face constant exposure to weather, damage and wear. In some cases, they can even be tampered with. Although most drivers do not think twice about tapping their card, these public readers are one of the most vulnerable points in any payment journey.

RFID cards, while convenient, pose another challenge. They can be cloned without the cardholder ever noticing. Once duplicated, a cloned RFID card can be used at multiple charge points before the driver realises anything is wrong. These older technologies leave too much room for uncertainty.

ONEEV removes the risk with secure in-app payments

ONEEV gives drivers complete protection by bringing every payment away from the charger and into the fully secure environment of the app. The system uses the same financial-grade encryption trusted by global banking platforms.

When you start your charge through ONEEV, your details never touch a public reader. You can safely use Apple Pay, Google Pay or your stored payment card knowing the whole process is encrypted and controlled.
