Route planner insists on adding a completely pointless one minute charge stop which I can't delete. The list of public chargers it seems to know about is very out of date - several shown were decommissioned nearly two years ago, many that went online over 6 months ago are missing.
Great that this app relies on user feedback to give info about charge points. This makes it easier to determine whether a point is publicly available or not. Quite annoying though that I have to log in frequently to get to additional info.
Must have app for EV owners. Very convenient to plan trips. Had some minor problems, like not being able to add a photo of charging station (the app logged me out each time I attempted to add a photo).
Route planner can't cope with very long journeys, say >1000 km - the server times out. Also, 15 minutes to charge a Tesla from 15% to 90% on a 150kW Supercharger??? No way. More like 45 minutes or longer, in real life.
Of the best applications and charging networks in France. Usually time-based fee (not kWh-based), however prices are fair and usually better than competitors. edit: This is not true anymore. ChargeMap now puts a surcharge: eg. charges 1.20€ per 15mins on a charger, eq. 0.082€ per minute, where competitors ask between 0.02€'0.06€ per minute. This is quite a big markup (9x!). edit: Lucas - the whole Belib network is concerned, for example. The possibility to filter by price would be nice.
Good and reliable charging app wiry many charging stations. Would be nice if they add mobile payment solution.
Definitely the best app to find a charging station. Quite exhaustive. The support is nothing to be compared with any other app ! We exchanged mails over almost a week to find the reason why I couldn't install the app. They were kind, reactive and supportive. My problem got solved thanks to them. Highly recommend it, even for only that reason.
A good number of charging stations are nicely listed with photos. However, I rate the app mostely negative as distance unit is set according phone language, no in-app setting available on that! Charging costs in Euro instead of local currency. Costs shown are more expensive Chargemap rates instead of local rates. Route planner does list my car, but when panning a route it says that the car is not supported yet.
I reviewed 12 apps to find charging stations, based on their performance in the Rhein-Main area of Germany. I liked this one because: + It had a good search function + It has good coverage of charging stations But, it missed some key features: - It misses many charging stations that are free to use! - Cannot filter by price - Its charging costs are consistently higher than any other provider - Does not show charging stations distance from destination or even the current position!
rather use plug surfing or plugshare. unless you change to agpl/fupl! 😁
I'm still discovering this app. So far prices are in Euro and distance in miles, why? But to take out a subscription it's in Swiss Francs. When you want money in Swiss Francs but otherwise in Euro. Can you include a setting where currency can be changed and distances are in metric. The app is quite good so far.
The best App to find a charging station and the support staff also do a very good job! Highly recommend!
The app is working OK but for the fact it says some stations operated by BEE are not comparable. However I have been able to charge with my chargemap RFID card and the charges show correctly in the app. I think some work is needed to show which chargers the RFID card can be used for correctly in the app. These comments apply to BEE stations in Are and Ostersund, Sweden.
Good but not great. It's not obvious how to change the units to metric. It has the ability to add your car in but doesn't take this on to account when plotting a route to suggest waypoints based on the car's range.
A bit of a mixed bag. Nice info. But every other day I need to re-log-in to the app. I add pictures to existing chargers and new charger not yet listed in the app. Super intransparent why they are not registered. Also no way to browse through my contributions. A few more off the issues and I'll stop contributing.
Old app worked, but this update locks up before it even starts. No use at all. EDIT: not compatible with Google smart lock for auto login on my phone (Sony L1). Had to remove stored password and type it in to the app. It is OK now. Thanks.
Just tried this after using Zapmap and found lots of UK charging points are missing from the map e.g. charging points at McDonald's. There's no point in trying it any further in the UK. Europe looks interesting but again my confidence in the data is low. Back to Zapmap.
Not good! Just signed up and paid fee and my vehicle is not supported!!!! VW ID3 Pro
Once or twice it showed charging stations in the route feature, since then it shows just the route and no stations. I will not buy the premium if this isn't solved. Otherwise a good idea.
overall the map is great with great info and good amount of reviews for each charging station. A super feature would be long range trip planning! (Edit: awesome!)
after updating i cannot register (cannot pick country), chargers are not shown in public mode and filters do not work. it used to be a very good app, now it is completely unusable.
Would be brilliant but ignores restriction I placed on Tesla Superchargers for route through France for Hyundai Ioniq 5. Insists on using them but they obvuously won't work with Ioniq 5.
Error every time I try to plan a route
chargemap behave like scammers. i initially signed up but quickly realised there are cheaper alternatives. i tried to cancel and even emailed to have my account deleted. but my emails are being ignored. and they keep trying to charge my creditcard every day. until my bank blocks them i have to freeze my creditcard.
In Portugal, all chargers are accessible via local vendors, but cannot access chargers in Spain. This app allows us to charge in Spain etc, but not Portugal. This and Ionity only apps I have found to allow charging in Spain and beyond. Route selection not optimal compared to self mapping as this app seems to miss some better chargers on the routes. App has our vehicle, however actual vehicle range is much further than app predicts, so more stops predicted than needed. Good app, needs work.
