Information
Definition
A display screen is a visual interface on a charger used to show instructions, status, tariff, payment or fault information. It is normally assessed alongside authorisation method, user experience, accessibility, payment flow and support requirements.
Why it matters
Screens can improve usability and are particularly important for public charging, payment workflows and accessible user guidance. For UK users, it affects how easily drivers can start a session, pay, authenticate, understand charger status and get support.
