How To Add A New Charge Card

This post is also available in: Français

You can add charge cards to EVC-net manually, one by one. We strongly advise to only add cards that comply with our charge card standard, MiFARE Classic 1k 7-byte UID (=unique ID) which means that the internal RFID “ID” has at least 14 digits.

You are allowed to add older 4-byte UID RFID cards (= less than 8 digits) if they will be used only for private charge points and not for roaming. For example a company that wants to use their internal chip cards for charging at their private charge points at their location. These internal chip cards, however, cannot then be used at roaming stations as we cannot guarantee the uniqueness of the ID in the roaming network and thus causing billing issues.
