Ratings and reviews

it's an OK app but it sends unnecessary notifications. "who cares" if there's "exciting news about new chargers" in a place I don't go? all my BC Hydro notifications are turned off. Contacted support about this but they didn't seem to understand that needlessly interrupting customers isn't helpful. got another "exciting update" today.

Great advice over the phone! I will seek out bc hydro chargers in the future. offered an RFID card to simplify things in the future. I wish charging was not so complicated! why apps, accounts, wallets, logins, passwords, start up issues??.. make it as simple as gasoline..... credit card and go.

App doesn't have a light mode thus difficult to view map during daytime. Favorite charging locations are added on a per dispenser basis, recommend favs be on a location basis. While not app fault, the chargers are all 50 kwh, which is hella slow.
