Cryptocurrency can be used to pay at charging stations for electric cars

Cryptocurrency can be used to pay at charging stations for electric cars
From November 2021, the function of paying with cryptocurrencies will be available in the EU countries at 50,000 charging stations for electric vehicles. Two European companies HIPS Payment Group and Vourity have announced a joint project that provides services for electric vehicles. Payment for services will be made in electronic currency.

A new form of payment such as crypto payments will be fully integrated into the Vourity platform. As representatives of the Irish-Swedish Alliance stated, this partnership is very far-sighted at once in several directions. Allowing the use of crypto payments will make charging electric cars convenient for all owners of such green vehicles, and this in turn will contribute to the transition from traditional cars to "green" cars. and a safer mode of transport.

Currently, the Vourity platform allows electric car owners to pay for charging using the usual payment methods: payment cards (for example, Visa and Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Swish and Bluecode. And the partnership with Irish company Hips will expand the choice of payment processing for customers, promoting and popularizing the use of crypto as an affordable alternative.

Recently, the Hips Payment Group also announced a partnership with The Payment House to bring e-currency payments to more than 20,000 taxis in Scandinavia and 10,000 taxis in the UK.
