Zapmap has launched a new charging card to help EV drivers pay for charging at tens of thousands of charge points.

Connected with the Zapmap app, the card allows drivers to start a charge with a quick tap at compatible charge points and pay for charging, eliminating the hassle of juggling apps.

The new card already has more than 40,000 charge points across 30-plus networks accessible for digital payments in the app.

The launch follows a year of significant growth in Zapmap’s payment network, more than doubling the number of charge points where drivers can pay through the app.

Once drivers have added their debit card details once in the Zapmap app and ordered their card, they just need to tap their Zapmap charging card at supported chargers and the session and receipts will appear automatically in the app.

The charging card is available to Zapmap Premium Annual subscribers for a small fee, with rollout to all Zapmap users later this summer.

Melanie Shufflebotham, COO and co-founder of Zapmap, said: “We’re here to help drivers charge with confidence – and the new charging card makes that even easier. Whether you’re using your phone or tapping your card, paying with Zapmap fits around your journey.”
