To make it easier to charge your car while you’re out and about, the new app 'Go Charge' has recently been launched by Motability.
This gives you access to more than 45,000 public chargepoints through one charging card and app, and it’s available for anyone that chooses an electric car.
Motability Go Charge, or ‘Go Charge’ for short, brings together over 20 different chargepoint providers into one app and charging card.
These include GRIDSERVE, Source London, ChargePlace Scotland, ESB, Geniepoint, Shell Recharge, Osprey and many more. You can see all the locations on the live map.
This covers more than half of chargepoints in the UK, including 70% of all rapid chargers.
Rather than needing lots of apps and accounts for different chargepoint networks, you can access them all in one place.
It’s completely free to get the card and app, and there are no monthly subscription fees.There’s also no need to add funds to your account before you charge and no pre-authorisation fees.
You’ll just need to pay for the energy you use.
As well as easier public charging, there are lots more handy features in the Go Charge app. You can:
Motability Go Charge is available for every customer that leases an electric car on the Scheme.
This is on top of a home chargepoint or a subscription to the bp pulse network, that Motability offer when you lease your first electric car.
Motability will automatically send your Go Charge card to you with user guide around the time you get your car.
If you already have an electric car on the Scheme but do not have a Go Charge card, fill out this form and Motability will arrange to send one within a couple of weeks.
