Ratings and reviews

Works well with Easee / Hyundai Kona I've been using this app for almost a year, and it reckons I've saved about £350 so far. I had a couple of times early on when it didn't charge when I thought it should, but it's fine now. It stops and starts nicely with no issues. Unfortunately, it only gives a "charge by" time in the next 24 hours. I would love a longer period, even up to 3-4 days, since I often go days without needing more than a few miles in the battery.

Hi, it's been two days. I tried to charge my ID to 90% due to its small battery, but it won't. It kept saying "next charge starting at X time," but it wouldn't. I'm planning to go for a long drive in Q4, and I'm in the same situation; it won't charge. My car was parked at 80%, and after half a day and a full night, it's still at 82%. We're talking about nearly brand-new cars here. The same cars were alright when solely using a charger anyway on OHMI. I hope you can fix this unless it is set by y

Works reasonably well with my ID3 and Ohme charger. Been using this app since the Ohme smart charging doesn't work anymore with OVO. Works together with the VW app, although quite slow to update. When plugged in the app says "car unplugged" for a while.... sometimes up to 5-10 mins. The app is quite limited in features; no full charge schedule or how much does it actually cost. Only how much you are "saving". Only once so far failed to complete the charge during the night.
