The BEV3CCS-RFID-S-V2.4 AC card reader is a purpose-built M1 card reader operating at 13.56MHz frequency. Designed as a dedicated accessory for smart charging station solutions, it delivers stable card recognition and offline electronic wallet functionalities for commercial charging operations. Developed as part of the smart charging product portfolio, this component integrates seamlessly with charging station motherboards and system platforms, supporting the deployment of low-voltage and high-altitude charging solutions for enterprise customers.

Product Overview of the BEV3CCS-RFID-S-V2.4 AC Card Reader

As a core interactive accessory for smart charging infrastructure, this AC card reader serves as a critical module for user identification and payment processing in charging station systems. It is engineered for charging station operators, system integrators, and commercial facility managers who deploy EV charging solutions across public parking lots, industrial parks, and commercial property sites. Built to align with standard charging station architecture, the reader works in tandem with charging station motherboards and central management platforms to enable card-based access and transaction processing. Its offline electronic wallet function allows charging stations to process user payments and access authentication even when network connectivity is interrupted, maintaining continuous operation for charging facilities of all scales. The model BEV3CCS-RFID-S-V2.4 (version 2.4) follows standardized production specifications, ensuring consistent performance across batch deployments. It is suitable for integration into new charging station builds as well as retrofitting projects for existing charging infrastructure, supporting flexible implementation for different project scales.

Core Functions of the Charging Station RFID Card Reader

M1 Card Recognition Capability

This card reader supports M1 card identification at 13.56MHz frequency, a widely adopted standard in contactless smart card applications. It reads card data rapidly to complete user identity verification, enabling quick access to charging services for end users. The recognition workflow is optimized for charging scenarios, reducing wait time at charging stations and improving overall user throughput for facility operators. The reader is compatible with standard M1 format cards commonly used in charging network membership systems, allowing operators to integrate the device with existing card management systems without additional card replacement costs. This compatibility simplifies system upgrades and reduces overall implementation expenses for commercial projects.

Offline Electronic Wallet Functionality

A key feature of this AC card reader is its integrated offline electronic wallet capability. Unlike standard card readers that rely on constant network connectivity to process transactions, this device stores transaction data locally when offline, and synchronizes records automatically once network connection is restored. This function is particularly valuable for charging stations deployed in remote areas, outdoor locations, or sites with unstable network coverage. It ensures that charging services remain available to users regardless of network status, reducing operational downtime and preserving revenue streams for charging station operators. The offline transaction logic follows standardized security protocols to protect transaction data and prevent unauthorized access to wallet information.

Integration & Design Advantages of the SPI AC Card Reader

The AC card reader is designed with system integration in mind, addressing the practical needs of charging station hardware development and on-site assembly. Its petite volume allows for flexible installation inside charging station enclosures, occupying minimal internal space and leaving more room for power modules, control boards, and other core components. This compact form factor also supports integration into charging stations with different shell designs, adapting to various product appearance and structural requirements. With a large read-write distance, the reader offers flexible card operation for end users, eliminating the need for precise card placement against the reader surface. This feature improves user experience in daily use, and also reduces the risk of surface wear from repeated card contact, supporting stable service in high-traffic charging locations. The device adopts SPI communication method, a standard serial peripheral interface widely used in embedded system designs. This interface is compatible with most mainstream charging station motherboards on the market, enabling straightforward data transmission between the reader and the main control system. SPI communication delivers stable data transfer with low latency, ensuring real-time feedback for card recognition and transaction processing, which is essential for smooth charging station operation. For system development teams, the reader follows standardized integration protocols to reduce development workload and shorten project lead times. It works with both low-voltage charging solutions and high-altitude charging systems, supporting the full smart charging product line across diverse commercial scenarios.
