A-Charge. Just scan. NO APP.

The official page of A-CHARGE ®, a registered trademark of I-S3 Co., Ltd. — parking-time billing that turns an existing lot into an EV charging station, with no driver app.

Introduce A-Charge® at your site

With A-Charge®, you plan for every bay — including AC / Level-2 chargers — not just a few DC spots.
Checkout is one QR (no app). Built as a whole-lot parking OS, not a rapid-only corner. Parking-time billing and load sharing on one page.
The same QR checkout covers bays without chargers; with optional cameras it becomes timed parking for all vehicles, including gasoline cars.

How to use A-Charge
  • No dedicated app installation is required.
  • No user account registration or login is required.
  • Scan the on-site QR code to see the bay/site ID and pricing, then proceed directly to payment.
  • As a rule, users do not need to fill in forms for bay, license plate, or usage time.
  • Payments by credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are supported (PayPay coming soon). Bays open for free can be used without any payment.
  • At busy times, an anonymous queue & reservation feature (no personal registration) is available. The user screens support 20 languages.
Fees and charging
  • Fees are based on usage time, not on kWh delivered. Time while charging is billed at the charging rate and other parking time at the parking rate, calculated automatically from actual usage.
  • Hourly rates may vary depending on EV charger availability, charging priority, time of day, and facility rules.
  • Charging volume, full charge, and constant output are not guaranteed. Actual charging varies with the vehicle, equipment, and the facility's power conditions.
  • Charger output is automatically distributed within the facility's power limit, so the total never exceeds the contracted capacity. Time during which charging output is limited to 1 kW or less by this power control is billed at the parking rate instead of the charging rate.
Capacity example: load sharing can support about 26 EVs vs typically one charger under a conventional setup
Payment and card information
  • Payments are made on an external Stripe Hosted Checkout page.
  • A-Charge never asks for or stores card numbers, CVV, expiry dates, or saved card details. Card data does not pass through our servers.
  • Saved cards and previous payment methods rely on features of the payment provider, wallet, or your browser.
  • Traffic is protected with HTTPS (TLS). We send HSTS and other security headers to browsers. API keys are kept in Google Secret Manager.
  • No user account is required. Queues need no personal registration. Location is used only for arrival checks and is not stored.
