Key Features
Wide Charger Access
Connects to over 850,000 chargers globally, allowing users to find and use charging stations from different networks with one app and card, simplifying the charging process wherever they are.
Transparent Pricing
Offers clear, upfront pricing without markups or hidden fees, and absorbs pre-authorisation charges. Users benefit from consistent and fair costs for their charging sessions.
Route Planner
Helps plan journeys by suggesting charging stops along a route, making long-distance EV travel less stressful and more predictable by ensuring power is available when needed.
Editor's Notes
- The app successfully aggregates a large number of charging stations, which is a significant benefit for EV drivers. The inclusion of a physical Electrocard is a practical addition for those who prefer not to use their phone for every charge.
- While the network coverage is extensive, occasional users might find the sheer volume of options overwhelming initially. However, the map filters help to narrow down choices effectively.
