EVDrivers Receive Assistance with Zapmap's New Charging Card Launch
Introducing the Zapmap EV Charging Card: Simplifying Electric Vehicle Charging in the UK
A new solution is revolutionising the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience in the UK, making it more convenient, cost-effective, and hassle-free. The Zapmap EV charging card and payment system, now available to Zapmap Premium Annual subscribers, is set to transform the way we charge our electric cars.
The Zapmap EV charging card works by allowing EV drivers to pay for charging across multiple public charging networks in the UK through a single platform - the Zapmap app. Users can add their credit or debit card to the app and use it to pay for charging sessions across a wide range of networks without needing multiple accounts or separate apps for each provider.
How it works
Drivers register and link a payment card within the Zapmap app. They can then locate charging points on the app and start charging sessions, paying directly through Zapmap. This cross-network payment feature covers more than 25 UK networks and around 37,000 charging devices, including networks like Blink Charging’s extensive UK chargers.
The app also provides useful charging tools such as route planning with charger stops and live charger availability.
Benefits for Electric Car Drivers
- Convenience: One account and payment method to access chargers from multiple networks, avoiding the hassle of multiple apps or RFID cards.
- Cost savings: Users can save around 5% when paying through the Zapmap app.
- Simplified journey: Real-time information on charger availability and route planning helps reduce range anxiety and makes long trips more manageable.
- Wide network access: Instant access to tens of thousands of chargers across the UK enables flexible and reliable charging.
Melanie Shufflebotham, Zapmap COO and co-founder, stated that the new charging card makes charging with confidence easier. The new charging card will be rolled out to all Zapmap users later this summer. The new Zapmap charging card is intended to encourage more people to switch to electric cars.
As a quarter of UK drivers still ignore the two-second rule, the need for a solution like the Zapmap EV charging card is more pressing than ever. While no information about a Dodge Charger electric muscle car recall was provided, the introduction of the Zapmap charging card is undoubtedly a significant step forward in making electric vehicle ownership more accessible and convenient for drivers in the UK.
