The evec PAY-WAL is a wall-mounted contactless EV payment terminal for public and semi-public charging sites that need card payments without adding a separate terminal to every charger.

Commercial charging is no longer only about the charger itself. On public-facing and mixed-access sites, the payment journey is a major part of whether drivers can use the bays confidently and whether the operator can manage charging as a service instead of a utility giveaway. PAY-WAL addresses that need with a wall-mounted vecPAY terminal built around PAYTER contactless payments and backend integration. The wall format matters because some locations already have a practical wall near the charge points, making a freestanding payment pillar unnecessary. It is also a cost-led product. One terminal can support up to 10 charge points, which changes the economics of contactless payment on multi-bay sites and makes it easier to retrofit payment capability into an existing commercial charging layout.

Wall-mounted contactless payment for EV bays

PAY-WAL is built for sites that want the payment point fixed to a wall rather than standing separately on a pedestal. That can make sense in multi-storey car parks, building-edge parking rows, hotel walls, service yards and other locations where the charger layout already runs close to the structure. A wall-mounted terminal can keep the payment point obvious without adding another ground-mounted item into the bay area. That is useful where the parking layout is tight or where the operator wants fewer freestanding elements to protect from vehicle contact. The wall format therefore affects more than appearance. It can simplify how drivers find the terminal, how installers cable it, and how the overall charging bay is organised.

One terminal for up to 10 charge points

The main commercial reason to choose vecPAY is estate efficiency. A single terminal can handle up to 10 charge points, which is a very different buying proposition from fitting contactless hardware to every charger. That matters for cost control, especially on sites adding several charge points at once or retrofitting an existing charger group. Fewer payment terminals usually mean fewer terminal subscriptions, fewer points of maintenance and a tidier charging environment. It also gives operators a more centralised way to manage public payments. On a live site, that can be easier to maintain and easier to explain to users than repeating a payment device across every bay. The result is a more scalable payment model without changing the underlying charger hardware at each point.

Tap card, phone or smartwatch and charge

The driver journey is intentionally simple. Users connect their vehicle, go to the payment terminal, select the charger number they are using, tap their card, phone or smartwatch, and charging starts. That matters because public charging friction often comes from account creation, poor signal, app downloads or unclear charger activation steps. PAY-WAL removes much of that by focusing on direct contactless payment. Support for major debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay gives operators a broad acceptance base without forcing drivers into one app ecosystem. In practical terms, that makes the payment journey closer to a familiar retail tap-and-go interaction, which is usually easier for visitors, hotel guests and occasional users than app-only activation.

Built-in 4G SIM and backend flexibility

Connectivity is central to how the terminal works. Built with a 4G SIM, PAY-WAL connects into the chosen backend partner for monitoring, payment handling and reporting. That is important because a payment terminal is not useful in isolation. It has to sit inside a wider commercial charging workflow where tariffs, transactions and site rules can be administered remotely. Compatibility with backend platforms such as Monta, Fuuse and Connekt gives operators flexibility in how they run the charging service rather than locking the payment terminal to a single operating model. A workplace may want one tariff structure, a hotel another, and a public-facing site another again. The terminal’s role is to make that backend choice usable for the driver at the bay.

Public charge point compliance from November 2024

Contactless payment became a more urgent topic when UK Public Charge Point Regulations introduced new expectations for public charging from 24 November 2024. PAY-WAL is designed around that practical need. For operators, the benefit is not only that the unit takes payment. It helps bring a site into line with contactless payment expectations without redesigning every charging point. That is especially useful for charger estates that already exist and need an upgrade path rather than a full replacement project. As a result, the terminal sits as much in the compliance conversation as it does in the payments conversation. It gives commercial sites a clearer route to offer a familiar payment method while keeping their broader charger estate in service.

Retrofit payment terminal for existing chargers

Retrofit use is one of the most commercially relevant parts of the PAY-WAL story. The terminal is described as retrofit-ready, which matters because many sites installed commercial chargers before contactless payment became a stronger requirement. Adding one wall-mounted terminal that can support multiple chargers is usually easier to justify than replacing every charger with a payment-enabled equivalent. That can lower upgrade cost and minimise disruption to a working site. It also means the payment strategy can evolve alongside the existing charger estate. For businesses already using commercial EV chargers, this kind of retrofit path can preserve earlier investment while still improving accessibility and commercial control.

Wall terminal or pedestal terminal

PAY-WAL is the version to choose when the payment point can sit clearly and accessibly on a nearby wall. That usually suits building-edge bays, covered car parks and side-of-building parking rows. The pedestal terminal version is more appropriate when the payment point needs to stand in the parking area itself because there is no sensible wall location beside the charging bays. In simple terms, both products solve the same payment problem but fit different site geometries. Buyers should base the choice on where drivers will approach from, where the chargers sit, and how easily the terminal can be seen and protected in everyday use.
