Manchester, UK – In a bold step toward smarter, more accessible EV infrastructure, Unity5, the creators of the Zatpark enforcement platform, have announced a strategic integration with M2M Data Connect to introduce WhatsApp-based EV charging and parking management.
This collaboration brings together Unity5’s powerful enforcement technology and M2M’s cutting-edge omnichannel platform to deliver a seamless, user-friendly experience for EV drivers and parking operators alike.
Revolutionising EV Charging with WhatsApp
At the heart of this innovation is the M2M WhatsApp EV Charger Bot, a solution that allows drivers to book, pay, and manage EV charging sessions directly through WhatsApp. Powered by AI and integrated with Zatpark’s enforcement ecosystem, this bot simplifies the entire charging process—from locating a bay to completing payment—without the need for additional apps or hardware.
Key features include:
- Real-time booking and payment via WhatsApp
- Integration with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and custom payment gateways
- Advanced Bookings; Users can book in advance using site ID
- Dynamic Pricing; Operators can offer discounted pricing in quiet hours
Solving Real-World Challenges in EV Bay Management
Using WhatsApp to pay for EV charging solves key challenges in the sector by making access fast, simple, and universal. Drivers no longer need to download apps or create accounts-just scan, chat, and charge using a familiar platform. Payments are seamless via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card, and real-time updates keep users informed.
For operators, WhatsApp enables automated enforcement, reduces support overhead, and improves bay management. It’s scalable, secure, and ideal for smaller or remote sites. By streamlining the user experience and cutting infrastructure costs, WhatsApp is transforming EV charging into a more inclusive and efficient service.
A Future-Ready Partnership
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, accessibility, and sustainability. By merging Unity5’s enforcement expertise with M2M Data Connects omnichannel communication tools, the companies are setting a new standard for EV charging and parking technology.
“This integration is a game-changer for EV infrastructure,” said a Unity5 spokesperson. “We’re making enforcement smarter and charging simpler-right from your phone.”
