XCharge NA Partners with Stripe for Seamless EV Charging Payments
XCharge North America (XCharge NA) has introduced its first Virtual Point of Sale (VPOS) solution, streamlining EV charging payments with the integration of Stripe’s payment platform.
This move follows the GridLink launch, a grid-management solution, reinforcing XCharge NA’s commitment to smarter, more efficient EV infrastructure.
Why This Matters for EV Payments
✅ Pre-installed, No Extra Setup – Every new XCharge system now comes with integrated VPOS, making transactions seamless.
✅ App-Free Convenience – Unlike many EV chargers requiring dedicated apps, VPOS supports Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and card payments—aligning with modern consumer preferences.

✅ Real-Time Charging Insights – Users get live metrics, full transaction logs, and remote diagnostics to improve payment visibility.
✅ Remote Issue Resolution – EV operators can troubleshoot issues without needing physical intervention, reducing downtime and improving service efficiency.
