The E.ON Drive Infrastructure (EDRI) network, comprising over 400 electric vehicle charging points, has undergone a major upgrade: the charging stations now feature a new visual identity, updated connector labels, and an upgraded backend system. A newly introduced ad hoc payment system now allows customers to pay for charging without registration, using a QR code or, in the case of fast and ultrafast chargers, directly with a bank card, the operator announced on Wednesday.
According to the electric utility company, EDRI charging stations have adopted E.ON’s updated brand design, making them easier to recognize and providing a more unified appearance. The backend system of the equipment has been completely replaced to ensure faster and more stable performance of the new digital services. In response to user needs, connector names and icons have also been updated to make labeling and pictograms more user-friendly.
As part of the latest development, QR code-based ad hoc payments have been made available at every E.ON charging station. Before starting a charging session, users can scan the code on the device to access an online payment platform, where they can initiate charging quickly and securely without registration.
At all currently operating direct current (DC) chargers—whether fast or ultrafast—users can start charging simply and directly via bank card payments using the terminal installed on the charger.
One advantage of on-site payments (QR code or bank card) is that, compared to charging sessions initiated through mobile apps, the pricing may sometimes be more favorable, as the transaction occurs directly between the consumer and the operator, without involving a third-party intermediary. The new service was launched with introductory discounts and promotional offers, the company added.
In Hungary, EDRI operates 418 charging points, 78 of which offer 300 kW charging capacity.
The new ad hoc payment system is now active nationwide across all charging points.
EDRI, part of the E.ON Group, operates over 7,100 public charging points across 11 European countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Italy, Romania, the Netherlands, and Hungary.
