Q Charger: AUTOCRYPT's Smart-Billing EV Charger Officially Certified

Automotive cybersecurity and mobility solutions provider, AUTOCRYPT has received the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6 certification for its smart-billing EV charger, the ‘Q Charger’.

Model ‘ACO-100 BTW’, AUTOCRYPT's ‘Q Charger’ is a Level 1 electric vehicle charger that is capable of a 3.3-kW charging speed.

It is equipped with a 110-V to 240-V standard charging cable compatible with all EVs, and is easily installable on any wall outlet.

The Q Charger is designed for shared usage, and to operate, users can simply scan the unique QR code located on each charger via AUTOCRYPT's charger information app.

Payments are processed within the app using the registered payment card, and its built-in validation module securely verifies the user's identity and payment status before approval for charging. 

Said transactions will then be received by the charge point operator (CPO) or the owner of the charger, who is responsible for the electricity bill.

That said, AUTOCRYPT's Q Charger project is a sub-component of its comprehensive EV information and charging platform EVIQ.

An integrated digital platform that connects EV owners and CPOs through big data, enhancing the experience of both EV charging and charging station management. 

AUTOCRYPT’s chief executive officer, Daniel ES Kim, concluded, "Our goal is twofold: Make chargers more available and make the charging experience more enjoyable for EV owners. For the millions of residents here in Korea who live in apartments, a lack of chargers has been a critical barrier to EV adoption. Deploying our smart-billing chargers in apartment and office buildings is a fast and efficient way to bring reliable EV charging to those who need it. Furthermore, the OCPP 1.6 certification validates the safety, security, and durability of our chargers. We look forward to enhancing charging availability in shared parking spaces across the globe."
