Problem
Traditional electric vehicle (EV) charging methods often require users to manage multiple apps, RFID cards, or payment terminals, leading to a fragmented and inefficient charging experience. This complexity creates friction for EV drivers and operational overhead for charge point operators (CPOs) and fleet managers.
Solution
Juice offers a computer vision-based platform that automates vehicle recognition and payment processing at EV charging stations, eliminating the need for manual authentication. By connecting a vehicle to the Juice platform, drivers can simply plug in their EV at a Juice-enabled charger and initiate a charging session without using apps or cards. The system automatically identifies the vehicle, initiates charging, and processes payment upon completion. This seamless experience extends to parking, where Juice automates vehicle authorization and payment.
Target Audience
Juice targets EV charging and parking operators, EV fleet operators, and OEMs and software partners in the EV industry.
