EV drivers using the GeniePoint network via Zap-Pay will benefit from discounted charging rates for the first two weeks of September under a new promotion.

On average, drivers could save around £3 per charge session

The joint initiative celebrates the launch of GeniePoint’s GenieFlex pricing tariff on Zap-Pay and is an exclusive offer for Zap-Pay users when charging on the GeniePoint network. It also celebrates World EV Day on 9 September.

GenieFlex provides customers with access to lower charging rates at times when charge points are less likely to be in use; it classes off-peak times as between 20:00 and 07:59.

The current GenieFlex price tariff is 75p per kWh for off-peak charging, and 79p per kWh at peak times. This exclusive offer of a 10p per kWh reduction will see Zap-Pay users benefit from a charging tariff of 65p per kWh during off-peak times, and 69p per kWh during peak times. On average, drivers could save around £3 per charge session.

Matt Lloyd, CPO manager at Zapmap, said: “Zap-Pay is a really simple way to pay for charging across networks from within the Zapmap app. I’m therefore very pleased to be able to offer such a great discount on charging rates when using Zap-Pay on the GeniePoint network up and down the country.

“We know costs are front of mind for many drivers, whether they’re undertaking longer journeys or simply topping up at their destination. So, it’s great to see Zap-Pay amplifying the benefits of the GenieFlex price tariff, and supporting EV drivers who don’t have access to a home charger.”

Dee Humphries, director at GeniePoint owner Equans EV Solutions, said: “At GeniePoint, we’re committed to making EV charging as accessible and convenient as possible, which is why we’re really pleased to be launching this offer with Zapmap to provide EV drivers who use Zap-Pay an exclusive charging discount.

“The offer has also been launched to celebrate World EV Day, as a way to thank those who have made the transition to EV – supporting a sustainable future.”
