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.

Wow. Where to even begin? Outside of the health insurance industry, I can't think of any more disgusting, despicable, business than zefnet. They've capitalized what ought to be a free public good, charge enormous markups for it, have the gall to steal user data in the process, AND on top of all that can hardly put together a functional app? Absolutely deplorable, I wish I could rate this POS app lower, and wish nothing but a lifetime of perdition to everyone involved with this scam of a product.

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 I think the old app reviews are outdated because the app works fine for me too.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.
