User and charge card management
Access management, tariff planning and management of charging stations in the store
The best solution for your drivers too
The proven app offers the driver complete transparency of all charging transactions, clearly separated according to charging processes at home, at the company or on the road, and provides tax-compliant receipts directly. If needed, the driver can individually extend the app with an RFID charging card, which is particularly practical in areas with poor network coverage, such as underground garages.
Easy to use app for drivers
Easy to find the available public, private or company-owned charging stations including price information via app
Ability to charge without a physical card with direct billing to the company
Available charging stations
On this map you can see all publicly available charging stations throughout Europe. With this coverage, you guarantee your drivers a reliable companion for public charging no matter where they are currently located.

FAQs

Both the maximum charging capacity of the station and the maximum charging capacity of the vehicle represent values under optimal conditions. In reality, these are rarely present. In general, it can be said that a charging station always provides as much power as the vehicle requests. This means that if the charging station can provide 180 kW, but the vehicle only requests 50 kW, only 50 kW will be supplied. For a charging process to use the maximum charging power specified for the vehicle, a number of factors are crucial:
1) The temperature of the battery and the environment: If the battery is too warm or too cold, the car communicates with the charging station that it cannot charge at full power.
2) The age of the battery: The battery can degrade in performance and capacity due to age.
3) The current state of charge of the battery - SOC level: For the last 50%, charging performance can decrease depending on the car. This is to protect the battery.
4) The general charging curve of the vehicle: Depending on the manufacturer or model, this curve varies to a greater or lesser extent.
5) Power supply at the charging station: If there are many charging stations in one place, they have to share the charging power from the grid. It may then not be possible to provide full power at all charging stations.
6) Total power available at the charging station In these cases, our customer support cannot help. However, we generally do not limit the charging power of the charging stations.
There are various types of charging plugs that are used for charging electric vehicles. The most common types are:
Type 1 (SAE J1772): This plug is commonly used for AC charging in North America and Japan.
Type 2 (Mennekes): This plug is often used for AC charging in Europe and is compatible with most e-vehicles.
CCS (combined charging system): CCS plugs are primarily used for DC fast charging and are becoming increasingly popular all over the world.
CHAdeMO: This plug is also used for DC fast charging and is often found in older electric vehicle models, especially from Japanese manufacturers.
Choosing the right charging plug for your electric vehicle (EV) is essential for safe and efficient charging.
Here are a few steps to help you make the right choice:
- Check the compatibility of your vehicle: Different e-vehicle models may require different types of charging plugs. Check your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which type of plug is compatible with your electric vehicle.
- Find out about charging standards: There are various charging standards that are used worldwide, such as CHAdeMO, CCS (Combined Charging System) and Tesla's Supercharger. Find out which standard is common in your region and make sure that the charging plug you choose supports that standard.
- Take into account the charging speed: There are charging plugs in different power levels, which affect the charging speed. Determine your charging needs based on your daily driving habits. If you frequently take long trips, you might want to invest in a faster charging port.
- Evaluate plug types: There are various plug types, including Type 1 (J1772), Type 2 (Mennekes), and Type 3 (Same). When choosing the right type of plug for your vehicle, consider factors such as availability, compatibility with charging stations, and ease of use.
- Remember, it's always a good idea to consult an EV specialist or your vehicle manufacturer to make sure you're making the best choice for your particular EV model.
Fast charging, also known as DC fast charging, is a charging method in which the battery of an electric vehicle is quickly charged with powerful direct current (DC). It can charge an electric vehicle to a high level in a relatively short period of time, usually within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the vehicle and charging station.
How long it takes to charge an electric vehicle depends on several factors, including the vehicle's battery capacity, charging speed, and current charge level. Charging times can vary between a few hours with a Level 2 charger and around 30 minutes with a fast charger. However, it's important to know that a full charge can take several hours, especially with larger battery packs.
To plan your electric car trip, you should consider factors such as the distance you need to travel, the availability of charging stations along your route, and the charging speed of each station. Use online tools or apps that offer e-trip planners to plan your route and find charging stations at appropriate intervals. Take into account the charging time and schedule any necessary stops to ensure a smooth journey.
