Really useful, functional app

We used Electroverse for charging our Tesla for the first time in rural France & found it incredibly easy to use. There were so many chargers available to us through the app & the information given in the app was brilliant for finding the best charger in the area. We never encountered a problem - as another reviewer had said just plug in, swipe the card & there you go. We did find one location where chargers had been duplicated (one set of two was apparently out of use while, in the same location, an apparently different set of two was working perfectly) but that was the only problem encountered. We had expected to find the charging side of things a bit stressful on our holiday but, thanks to Electroverse, exactly the opposite was the case.

Hi, Shonamole. Thanks for the review and the kind words! It's great to have you with us. We hope you had a good time driving in France. It sounds like the data has been duplicated for that particular charger, so we'd like to fix that! If you wouldn't mind sending across the location (hello@theelectroverse.com), we'll take a look. In addition, if you'd to send any feedback/comments, that would be very welcomed - we really value community feedback and would love to hear from you! Happy driving, the Electroverse team.

Amazing!

I’m an Octopus Electricity and Gas customer. When I found out about Electroverse I downloaded the App and applied for the Free Charging card.

I used both yesterday. The card activated at the charging point, and it was simple. The app can be used for charging at SOME places, and where your car is “play and charge” enabled they are introducing this too (my car isn’t!)

My biggest challenge getting a fully electric car in Jan/Feb of this year 2023 (BMW iX X Drive M50 lovely car; tech dreadful BMW customer service - WHAT customer service?) was needing lots of apps/cards/fobs and it taking AGES using one for the first time. Like an hour! No kidding. Phoning customer services up repeatedly!

With Electroverse you can use MANY different companies chargers with app/card. As an Octopus customer this goes to my Octopus account to be paid off monthly. It is SIMPLE and brings a HUGE network together. This is simply AMAZING.

The price is what you would pay as “pay as you go”. Mostly that’s fine, but some tariffs with a monthly fee means you MAY be better off with using those companies pre-dominantly.

My work has a restricted access Mer charges at 24p KW so I try to use that obviously.

If you have an electric car you NEED this app and card.

Happy driving, the Electroverse team.

Just what you would want it to be.

(Almost)Totally stress free charging. Plug in, swipe card, charge started straight away. Display showing charging status. Swipe card again, charging stops, remove charging leaf drive off. All details of charging session on Electroverse App.
Only moment of doubt was at the start when no helpful information on display screen and no response from a tap or card swipe. Plugging in was the only obvious move to wake things up - if there was an instruction to do so I didn’t see it - once plugged in I think the screen did change to indicate that a card swipe was needed.
For anyone who hasn’t used this particular format of charger before it would be helpful to have a prominent message encouraging to plug in.

Hey, there. Thanks for the amazing review! It's great to hear that Electroverse is proving useful for your public charging needs - and thank you for the feedback! We really value community suggestions and will be looking into what can be done - unfortunately, as we don't own or operate any of the chargers on the network, the responsibility for signage would fall with the relevant charging operator, but we're happy to pass along suggestions where we can! Happy driving, the Electroverse team.
