What is an RFID card, and how does it work?

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a wireless technology communicating between a reader device and a passive tag attached to an object using radio waves. An RFID card is a form of authentication and identification for the charging station in electric vehicle (EV) charging.

Key takeaways

• EV WallBox Home PRO socket and Home PRO tethered charger use RFID technology to allow safe, authorized charging.

How does the card work in charging stations?

When an electric vehicle owner wishes to charge their vehicle, they insert the RFID card into the charging station or hold it near the reader device. This generates a signal transmitted to the reader, which then communicates with the charging station’s database to verify the user’s identity and billing information. The charging station will begin the charging process if the information is correct.

RFID cards in EV charging stations provide EV owners with a secure and convenient way to pay for charging sessions without physically interacting with the charging station. RFID cards can also store data on a user’s charging history, billing information, and preferred charging settings, making it easier to set up their vehicle in the future.
