HERZLIYA, Israel, December 14, 2023 – Nayax Ltd. (Nasdaq; TASE: NYAX), a global commerce enablement and payments platform designed to help merchants scale their business, announced that it will be launching Nayax Energy, its innovative electric vehicle charging business in Australia. Allan Lorraine has joined the Nayax team as Director of Nayax Energy, Hospitality, and Retail to lead this effort. Last month, he had the chance to represent this brand-new solution at the AEVA Conference and EV (Electric Vehicle) Expo that took place in Perth.
With over 20 years of success working in sales and business development in the Australian automotive industry, Allan is excited to leverage his expertise and strategic vision to propagate a greener future for businesses, municipalities, and residences throughout Australia.
“We recognize that there is an emerging market for EV solutions in Australia and we see a lot of effort going into building electric vehicle fast charging stations” says Dylan Winik, CEO, Nayax Australia. “Nayax Energy offers Australians a unique solution which enables them to pay for charging with a simple tap and go transaction, making it accessible for all EV drivers and allowing them to charge more quickly and conveniently.”
Most EV charging stations in Australia accept payments via proprietary apps, forcing EV drivers to download these apps and sign up for memberships to charge their vehicles. This creates a lot of friction for drivers, because they cannot simply pull up to a charger and pay however they want. This is why Nayax Energy’s solution is so innovative; it offers drivers the option to choose the way they pay, whether it be via debit or credit card, mobile wallet, or QR code. This open payment system allows for simplified payment and created opportunities for loyalty and rewards.
“We are proud to help enable EV adoption by providing drivers with a more convenient way to pay for EV charging,” says Allan Lorraine, Director of Nayax Energy. “Our solution provides Charge Point Operators (CPOs) with an end-to-end solution that includes a smart EV charging management platform based on Open Charge Point Protocols (OCPP), universal charging stations, and a built-in open payment solution that will enhance EV drivers’ satisfaction, ease EV adoption, and increase CPO (Charge Point Operators) revenue.”
Nayax Energy’s end-to-end solution includes residential and commercial charging stations, an OCPP agnostic management platform, and a full embedded payment system. These solutions enable operators to easily monitor their electrical network and charging stations 24/7.
