Stay away from Ev rentals using this app

Price gouging company! Adds 29.05% to every charging bill and does not allow you to use your own account to pay for charging

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this. The admin fee on charging sessions is set by the rental company you rented from, and Charge Key processes the billing on their behalf. We agree fees should be clearer on your receipt, and we've passed your feedback to our team. If you have questions about a specific charge, email us at accounts@chargekey.app and we'll take a look.

No way!

Just found out this is still tracking me 6 months after returning the car! Scary!

Response from developer

Thank you for flagging this, and we understand why it was concerning. We've since removed the feature that relied on background location. If you no longer have an active rental, you can delete the app or turn off location access for Charge Key in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services. If you have any questions, email us at accounts@chargekey.app.

Deep link from EON never worked!

Got stranded cause of this stupid app with EON rental car

Response from developer

We're sorry the Charge Key link from EON didn't work and left you stranded. That shouldn't happen. If you rent through EON again and have any trouble opening your key, email us at support@standardfleet and we'll help right away.

Scam - they keep your deposit

Reservation ended October 7th and it’s now October 27th. I’ve called multiple times and was first told to wait 7-10 business days, then was told they can’t check it over the weekend, then they stopped answering my calls and ignored my VM. It’s been almost a month and my deposit is still in their account. Will take legal actions if need be

Response from developer

We're sorry for the frustration. Deposits are set and refunded by the rental company, and Charge Key's charging hold releases automatically after 7 days, minus any unpaid charging. If you're still missing funds, email support@standardfleet.com with your rental dates and company and we'll help track it down.

Great app!

I used this app for my Tesla rental, and it worked really well for me. It's pretty much like the Tesla app but a bit easier to use.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're glad Charge Key made your rental easy. Enjoy your next trip!
