IONITY, the EV charging network jointly owned by BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes and the VW Group, is now allowing payment at its rapid charging network via Apple Pay and Google Pay. The new function is available to users of the IONITY app after their next update.
After the launch of Apple Pay in 2014, the use of mobile wallets has grown rapidly with payment processor Worldpay forecasting that the use of mobile phone-based payment systems will account for 13% of in-person transactions by 2024. Use of mobile wallets is especially popular in the 25-34 age group with pver 40% registered with either Apple or Google.
IONITY currently has 17 charging locations in the UK and is one of only two charging networks that operate 350kW ultra-rapid chargers. The company plans to have 7,000 350kW chargers in operation across Europe by 2025.
IONITY is also introducing the ‘Oasis’ concept with a plan to ‘offer our customers a more convenient and comfortable charging experience in the future’.

These guys are in a league of their own! I just had a first rental experience with EV Hire and it was as smooth as one can imagine.
