Ratings and reviews

Perfect to compare prices. This app shows you the difference in pricing of charge stations. It's not perfect (yet?), but it is, as far as I know, the only app which does this. Some improvements wait to be developed, like better filtering (e.g. "show only available stations with prices below xxx or show only DC stations above 150 kW chargers).

I got a new plug in hybrid and I was looking the easiest and cheapest way to charge it in The Netherlands. After comparing many apps I decided for tap electric and I am happy so far with the transparency of prices and low fee for an occasional charger like me. I recommend it so far.

Poor concept, pay us a monthly subscription or we'll charge you more. Definitely not touching a Tap Charger again. Transparent or not, it is still far too expensive. I recently stayed at the Hilton where its 25p a kW for the same speed, here at staybridge its almost 3 times more at 66p. I'll plan my charging to not use this point next time I could have used a rapid charger for same costs and would have had I known prior. 10% savings on overpriced charging still equates to overpriced charging.

What's new

What's new?

* When you open the operator on the charger, you'll now see more information about getting in touch with them!
* Subscribing to a brand new Tapkey charge card is now easier than ever.
