Becky shares how Voqa is tackling the challenge of destination charging, introducing a 7–22kW AC charger with built-in contactless payments, designed to make charging effortless for drivers and more commercially viable for venues.

We buy train tickets, hotel rooms, lunch, almost everything in daily life, with a tap of a card or phone. At some point, the destination charging industry looked at that and thought: but what if we made it harder?
