RFID key fobs for charging electric cars are an agile and secure tool for charging electric vehicles at charging stations. Within Europe, the ChargeUp association recorded 950,000 public charging points at the end of the first quarter of 2025, forecasting growth to 3.8 million over the next decade.
There are several options for charging your electric car, such as using a smartphone via dedicated apps from charging station operators, an RFID card, or an RFID key fob for electric cars, which authorises access to the charging point.
RFID technology for electric vehicles offers drivers increased security, as RFID key fobs do not require mobile data or GPS to function, allowing drivers to charge their cars even when network access is unavailable. The unique identification and encrypted data for accessing the charging point further ensure that only the authorised user can charge his own vehicle.
The key fob acts like an electronic purse for electric vehicles, containing a credit balance that enables contactless RFID payments for electric car charging.
Here’s how to use RFID for electric car charging: simply hold the key fob near the designated charging symbol on the station, equipped with an RFID reader, to activate the power supply — no need to enter codes or passwords.
RFID key fobs for EV charging are also convenient to carry: they can be attached to car keys, a bag, or a backpack, reducing the risk of being misplaced or forgotten. At our Partitalia facility, we manufacture RFID key fobs with different operating frequencies, in various shapes and materials, guiding customers to select the best RFID key fob for their specific needs.
Our RFID key fobs for EV charging payments are available in Low Frequency (125 kHz), High Frequency (13.56 MHz), and Ultra-High Frequency (868-920 MHz) options, made from materials such as PVC, ABS, and PA6, which are waterproof and resistant to impacts and abrasions. We also offer a faux leather option, ideal for those seeking a refined product with long-lasting durability.
Our catalogue includes RFID key fobs for electric vehicles in youthful, elegant, or sporty designs, in a wide range of colours. We produce custom RFID key fobs for electric vehicle charging with prints and logos, using pad printing, silkscreen printing, or offset printing, while we carry out serialisation with laser or inkjet technology.
Programming an RFID key fob for EVs with us is simple: all our key fobs can be coded on request by our technical team.
The programming process involves storing specific information on the RFID chip of the key fob, which includes:
A unique ID that identifies the key fob and links it to the user or vehicle.
Information that authorises the RFID key fob to initiate the charging process, such as an active subscription to a charging service or a prepaid credit balance.
Information needed to charge the user for the service, such as credit card details or an associated account.
Contact us for the encoding of your RFID key fobs, and we’ll provide the best solution to meet your needs.

RFID key fobs for charging electric cars function like an electronic purse, containing a scaled credit for paying for refuelling. Thanks to RFID technology, to charge the vehicle and dispense energy, you simply bring the key fob close to the charging station, which is equipped with an RFID reader to scan the key fob’s chip. There is no need to enter any password or code.
Of course! The main function of RFID key fobs for electric cars is to recharge vehicles at charging stations, thanks to the integrated electronic purse.
RFID key fobs are a quick and convenient tool for charging electric vehicles at charging stations. The key fob can be attached directly to the car keys, or to a bag or backpack, reducing the risk of it being lost or forgotten.
The use of RFID technology for electric vehicles provides drivers with greater tranquillity and security compared to charging via smartphone apps. The RFID key fob does not require Internet access or GPS, ensuring that charging is possible even without a connection.
RFID technology uses strong encryption to protect the data on the RFID key fob chip, ensuring that only the authorised user has access to the charging station. The latest generation RFID chips are also designed to resist cloning.
RFID key fobs for electric cars are programmable with a unique identifier, which associates them with the user and the vehicle, with the authorization data to start the charging process, and with the payment data, which allows the transaction to take place. At Partitalia we carry out the encoding of RFID key fobs for electric cars on request.
Yes, in Partitalia facility we customise RFID key fobs for electric cars with prints and logos, by pad printing, silkscreen printing or offset printing, and we carry out serialisation by laser or inkjet printing.
