We provide EV charge cards in the form of RFID cards to all drivers. These cards are also offered to our partners, who will see the "Powered by Paua" logo on their cards.

At Paua, we understand that starting an EV charge can be challenging, which is why we offer two solutions: the Paua app and the EV charge card. As EV drivers ourselves, we know that the most important question for EV drivers is "can I get a charge?"

An RFID card is a simple piece of plastic or wood that resembles a credit card or key ring fob. It can be used to identify a driver as a Paua driver to the charge point by touching it to the RFID symbol. The RFID card can be used in situations where a mobile app doesn't have signal, where the charger connection is not functioning, or on networks that do not accept an app start.

However, we also offer the Paua app for live data, login details, and the ability to use networks without RFID cards. Our goal is to offer our EV drivers the best possible experience, which is why we provide everything we believe you need.
