Payment Terminal

This is a first draft to assist in the CCV Payment Terminal integration.

1. Intro

Adding a Payment Terminal to your Charging Infrastructures comes with benefits for both you EV Owners:

• Benefits for you as a Charging Infrastructure Provider:
  • Less friction between your EVCS and potential customers
    • No need for customers to sign a contract with you
  • Offload payment handling, including receipt generation, bookkeeping and more
• Benefits for the EV Owners:
  • Low touch authorization flow for initiating a charging session
  • Easy payment procedure; No need for signing a contract with the EVCS-provider

2. Related laws

Providing a Payment Terminal is/will be a legal requirement for all EVCS Providers in

• the EU (governed by the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive (AFIR): Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (32023R1804)):

  • In effect since 13 April 2023
  • Applies to public Charging Stations with a potential power output of >= 50kW

• the UK (governed by the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021):

  • In effect since 30 June 2022
  • Applies to private Charging Stations (domestic or workplace) with a potential power output of >= 8kW
  • Does not apply to private Charging Stations which are:
    • sold in Northern Ireland
    • intended for use as public Charging Stations (but these may be subject to the requirements of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulations 2017)

3. Minimal setup requirements

• You've got a Charge Controller
  • with Internet access through GSM by following this guide
  • WAN-forwarding by following this guide
  • running the firmware version v5.40 or above
• You've obtained a CCV IM15 payment terminal

4. Wiring setup

Connect the CCV IM15's Ethernet port to your Charge Controller's Ethernet port (RJ45).

5. Software setup

5.1. CCV IM15 configuration

5.1.1. Accessing the configuration menu

After starting the CCV IM15, the menu button will show up briefly. Tap on it to open the Main menu. If the menu button is invisible, restart the CCV IM15.

5.1.1.1. Default PIN

The default PIN is: 3333

5.1.2. Disabling DHCP

1. Tap to open the Main menu as shown here
2. Go to Setup
3. Enter the PIN (default is 3333)
4. Go to Communication > Network > LAN
5. Scroll down until you see Use DHCP?
6. Tap Use DHCP and tap
7. The text under Use DHCP should now say off

5.1.3. Viewing and setting the static IP address

1. Open the Main menu as described here
2. Go to Setup
3. Enter the PIN (default is 3333)
4. Go to Communication > Network > LAN
5. Tap IP address
6. Set it to a suitable IP address, while making sure the first 3 parts of the IP address are identical to the Charge Controller. Take note of the IP address as you will be needing it later.

DO

Device	IP address	Explanation
Charge Controller	192.168.0.1	The first three blocks are identical (192.168.0), thus both devices share the same network
CCV IM15	192.168.0.200

DONT

Device	IP address	Explanation
Charge Controller	192.168.0.1	The first three blocks are different (192.168.0,192.168.1), thus the devices don't share the same network
CCV IM15	192.168.1.200

1. Tap

5.2. Charge Controller configuration

5.2.1. Setting up CCV IM15 discovery

1. In the Configuration Interface, under INSTALLATION > Payment Terminal, set Terminal IP address to the address you've set the CCV IM15 to
2. At the bottom of the Configuration Interface, click , then click to apply the changes

5.2.2. Recommended base setup for testing

Location in Configuration Interface	Parameter	Value	Info
INSTALLATION > Payment Terminal	Payment terminal	On	enable the payment terminal configuration parameters
	Terminal IP address	your IP address of choice
	Pre-authorization amount value	85
	kWh price	1.1
	VAT for the kWh price [%]	19
	Service fee	2.2
	VAT for the service fee [%]	19
	Occupation fee	3.3
	VAT for occupation fee	19
	Total price monitoring interval	60

6. Testing

Make sure you've followed all steps on configuring the CCV IM15 and the Charge Controller before proceeding.

6.1. Testing network discovery between the Charge Controller and CCV IM15

1. SSH into the Charge Controller as charge using the Login Credentials (see here)
2. Run:

ping <YOUR CCV IM15 IP ADDRESS>

If you see a timestamp, the connection is successful. Only proceed if you can successfully ping the CCV IM15.
