Completely unreliable

Download this app if you like gambling. Sometimes it works so well you forget it is there. Other times, you wake up to find the car hasn’t charged and you’re in trouble. It is a complete lottery.

Decent app. Needs improvement

It basically does what it’s supposed to, but there are weak spots.
1: When “Smart” charging, if the app stops charging and schedules it to restart at a later time, it NEVER restarts the charging. I’ve had to drastically change what time I want the charge finished so it doesn’t stop after I go to bed. Otherwise, when I get up and ready to go, the app didn’t restart the charging, and the car isn’t charged to the percentage I was expecting.
2: A recent update seems to have removed the estimated charging costs for each charge. I have my rate added, and up until recently, it would give me an estimated cost of each charge, based on that rate. My rate is still in the app, but my charging costs are no longer displayed.
3: The app’s “chat with us” feature is garbage. You’re not actually getting to chat at all. It’s just a series of pre-written questions, with set answers, and the answers don’t always correctly answer the question you selected, with no recourse other than selecting “this solved my issue”

Get any other app than this

I was forced to get a new EV charger as EI stopped supporting the EO2 which was superb. I could choose to charge on solar, grid or both. Now I have this EV.energy app (which you have to pay for) and it so far has cost me £250 to charge my car over the last 6 months and it will not charge on solar alone. I have had uk power here to try and solve it but it is basically the installation, EV charger and an app which is as much use as x chocolate teapot. I have asked many times for my money back… Don’t not touch

Great but

Cannot sign in. It keeps telling me my account info could not be loaded. Try again. I’ve been trying for over a week. I uninstalled the app and changed my password and even tried signing up as new but it has a record of my email and account and tells me to sign in. Nothing in the app has any useful info for fixing the issue so I’m not sure how to use the app if I can’t sign into my account.

Not working

The worst app

So buggy

So many bugs. Before, it couldn’t log some of my charging sessions. Now, it wouldn’t even let me log in. A waste of time.

Update 08/07/2026. The developer claimed that the bug has been fixed in the comments. But I am still getting exactly the same error message.

Broken login

Worked for a week now I can’t login. Even resetting the password and reinstalling doesn’t work. Looks like the update broke something! UPDATE ITS STILL BROKEN EVEN THOUGH CHRIS SAYS ITS FIXED

Can’t login and can’t adjust schedule!

I needed to login to adjust the schedule and boost the charge but the app fails upon login. I am unable to adjust the schedule or set a one time charging session. While this app is great in concept, it all falls apart when users cannot login to make any adjustments. Please fix. My kids depend on a fully charged car to get around town.

User experience is horrible

I have struggled with this bloody app since EO migrated to EV. The user experience is horrible. Also, forget about support, you will be chatting with a bloody Ai bot that’s clueless about your troubles. I wish EO didn’t migrate!!!!!!!!

Great App

Before the new app, it was terrible, now it’s great

Ability to log in broken

This app worked well, for a few days. After the most recent update, I can no longer log in. Every attempt to log in is met with a generic “an error occurred while logging in” message. Resetting my password, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and trying the app on a different device don’t fix this issue.

This means I can’t turn smart charging on or off, enable boost charging, or access any other controls. My car stopped charging several times when I needed it to be charging due to the fact I can’t access ev.energy’s controls.

It works, but UI could be better

This app works, but the UI makes it difficult to answer simples questions like “When will my vehicle start charging?”

For example, the message “Not charging - No smart charge planned or being delivered” is shown immediately after plugging in my vehicle during peak hours. But this isn’t actually correct - I’m using Eversource managed charging, and charging will in fact start during off-peak hours.

I wish the app would be clearer about this and differentiate it from the condition of “Your car is plugged in, but something is wrong with managed charging and it will not start charging later tonight” which has also happened to me a couple of times.

Seems like a scam – points taken, no reward received

I redeemed my 30 points to claim the £5 energy bill contribution. The app took my points straight away, but I never received the £5 discount or any confirmation at all. Nothing was applied to my bill, no explanation given, and there is no way to get the points back. It feels exactly like a scam – they take what you earn and deliver absolutely nothing in return. Very disappointing and misleading.

Excellent app

This app help us save money. Charge your vehicle and get rewards.

Disappointing

The app constantly disconnects so I never get the rebates that should come with a peak charging.
There seems to be no way to talk to a person and fix this.
Help

App struggles to refresh

The app really struggles to refresh data. For example car has been plugged in for a couple of hours but the app says 70% charged lasted updated 2 days ago.
No matter what I do it just doesn’t refresh the info.
Maybe a dedicated refresh button

Awful app

This is the most non intelligent app (they claim they have an algorithm—PLEASE) to monitor. Listen when I plug in the charger at work where I have free charging and not at home it should know and charge on priority not on some poorly implemented scheduler in the app. If there was no monetary benefit or rebates I would get rid of this app right away. There is no reason to create stress to the user when the user plugs it in with intention to charge and the app forces the vehicle to not charge. At least implement a popup to override whenever plugged in. That simple—than some “algorithm” that is poorly developed.

Smart charging not smart

I have set my off peak hours and tariff. Vehicle ready time by 7:20 am. Sometimes when I get home I have only 3 hours to charge to get it back up to the recommended 80%. The vehicle finishes charging at 1 am using 30 min of off peak and 3 hours of on peak. What’s the point? When you switch it to charge only in off peak and you need more than 5 hours the vehicle is not fully charged. You would think it would use the smallest Amount of on peak and maximise the off peak?? I have been trying to get in touch but EO and ev.energy seem to not exist. Poor non existing customer service! Don’t bother with either of these products

Brilliant

We’ve used this app for the past 6 years and wouldn’t be without it. It’s easy to set up smart charges, gives financial reports and Amazon vouchers as a reward for your use. Support is brilliant if you have a query and the response is quick. So …. What more could you want to make owning an electric vehicle easy!
