Reviews
The app itself is very useful and comprehensive however the infrastructure is not there in England despite more charging points there is not enough and you need to get lucky to get a charge on your travels 1.that works. 2. the app works. 3. there is no queue to charge. Having an electric car is amazing but I would not recommend for long journeys you can run out quite quickly even if it does 200 miles charge goes quick dependent on so many factors, the weather,,your driving, if you use music and heating and air conditioning......
Excellent. Kept updated. Recent information on technical issues. Near real time availability info.
Essential!
Would not pay for premium, the basic app barely functions when trying to route plan why would I consider premium when you can't get the basics right. (Handy map tho to use when planning on pen and paper)
It's fine, but hides key filters (e.g. to find sites with more than 1 rapid charger) behind expensive (£5 a month!) paywalls. Stick with A Better Route Planner (ABRP) or PlugShare for that functionality. Even if you pay ZapMap for this feature, there is a further paywall for AndroidAuto compatibility (£8 a month).
Does what is required. Bit slow but works.
