EV drivers receive new assistance with Zapmap's introduced charging card
Zapmap Introduces Convenient Charging Card for Electric Vehicle Drivers
Zapmap, a popular EV charging app, has announced the launch of its new Zapmap charging card. This innovative payment solution allows electric vehicle (EV) drivers to start charging sessions with a simple tap at compatible charging points.
The Zapmap charging card is integrated with the Zapmap app, making it a seamless addition to the platform. Users can add their debit card details within the app and order their card. Once received, they can tap it at supported chargers to initiate a charging session. A receipt for the charging session will appear automatically within the app [1][3][5].
The benefits of the Zapmap charging card for EV drivers include:
- Convenience: One card works across over 40,000 charge points from 30 different networks, eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps or payment methods [1][3][5].
- Flexibility: Drivers can choose to pay via the app or use the physical card depending on their preference or situation [1].
- Confidence and simplicity on the road: All payment and charging management occur in one place, making it easier to find charging points and pay for them with peace of mind, locally or when travelling [1][3].
- Seamless integration: The card works smoothly alongside Zapmap’s app, which also connects with in-car systems via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enhancing usability for drivers [1].
Currently, the card is available to Zapmap Premium Annual subscribers for a small fee, with plans to roll it out to all users later in the summer of 2025 [1][3]. This solution addresses the complexity of varied payment systems across different public charging networks, streamlining the payment process for EV drivers.
Melanie Shufflebotham, COO and co-founder of Zapmap, stated, "We're here to help drivers charging with confidence." The new Zapmap charging card aims to make EV drivers feel more confident by simplifying the process of using public chargers.
