ZEFNET Charge

ZEF Energy Inc.

About this app

This app provides access to ZEF Energy's network of public chargers, allowing drivers to find a charger, start/stop a charging session and pay for their session costs in a secure and simple way.

It also provides drivers with a ZEFNET-enabled charger in their home a way to monitor and control its usage. If your charger is participating in a utility program which restrict charging at certain times, this app provides the ability to override some program restrictions in order to charge in an emergency.

Ratings and reviews

The ZEF app is a little un-polished. I was able to charge my car, but it wasn't as smooth as it should have been. The password field wasn't recognized as a password to the Google password manager, so it wouldn't auto fill. You need a minimum of $5 on your account when starting a charge. You can't add funds during a charge to make it charge longer, it stopped charging at my original balance. You have to add funds =>$1, when I tried adding just 13¢ the payment screen just spun.

I'm new to EVs but Zef chargers in my area have worked perfectly. I love their destination chargers (e.g., work & movie theaters). I think the old app reviews are outdated because the app works fine for me too. I keep adding $ in-app because I know I'll continue using the local chargers & the app allows for refunding my balance anytime. Only 4 stars because a passwordless account option would be nice; if I can reset by email, why not use an emailed code instead to mitigate poorly timed log-out.

Inaccurate, out of date, and does not include functioning chargers in their network that I've found in person. ZEF call center workers have repeatedly stated dishonest things ('call this number, it is a direct line to my office', 'that ZEF sticker that you're calling us from must not be ours') and other statements. I'm disappointed the number of times that the App doesn't include chargers that exist in real life and how frequently the app fails to save my login information. ZEF, do better.
