What Is Role-based access control (RBAC)?
Role-based access control (RBAC) is a method of restricting and managing who can start and use an EV charging session.
Why It Matters
It affects system safety, reliability, compliance, cost, and user experience when designing or operating EV charging infrastructure.
How It Works
Users or vehicles are authenticated before a charging session is enabled, using identifiers such as RFID, app credentials, or license plates.
Where It Is Used
• Public charging sites
• Commercial parking
• Workplace or fleet depots
Key Advantages
• Improves operational reliability
• Supports scalable deployments
• Reduces risk and improves consistency
