Thorium
A retrofit EV charging controller that turns any charger into a revenue-generating, tap-to-pay charging point. No apps, no accounts, no platform commission. Just tap and charge.
Context
The Problem
Most installed EV chargers lack payment capabilities and generate zero revenue. Replacing them with smart chargers means throwing away €2,000+ in hardware. Existing payment platforms take 15–30% commission and lock operators into proprietary ecosystems.
The Solution
A retrofit controller that bolts onto any existing charger — wallbox, AC socket, CEE plug, or OCPP smart charger. It adds tap-to-pay NFC payments, per-kWh metering, and a cloud dashboard. Revenue goes directly to the operator’s bank account with zero platform commission.
Features
Tap-to-Pay
Contactless card or phone payments with preauthorization holds. No apps, no accounts, no QR codes.
kWh Precision Metering
Per-channel energy sensors charge users only for actual energy consumed. No flat fees, no guesswork.
Multi-Charger Control
One Thorium unit manages up to 4 chargers via contactor-controlled channels. Works with any brand or model.
Cloud Dashboard
Multi-site monitoring, live session tracking, remote pricing, analytics, and exportable reports via Thorium Cloud.
Zero Commission
Revenue deposits directly to the operator’s Viva Wallet merchant account. No monthly fees, no per-transaction cuts.
1-Hour Install
Any qualified electrician can install it. No special tools, no EV expertise, no charger replacement needed.
