Continue to be the worst

Reporting back that these chargers and the app are still truly awful. Maps are non-functional, QR code scanning just produces a spinning wheel of death. Even the tap to pay only works sometimes. It shouldn’t be this hard.

very slow

beware of making requests for rfid card. i ended up getting charged 4 times becuae of the slow connection. they make you deposit $20

$20 minimum

Unclear if this is an unintentional or intentional scam, but it’s still $20 minimum and you might not be able to actually use it

I think a 4th grader can make a better app

This is the worst app I think I have ever used. Loading times are longer than an unskippable ad, it makes you deposit money in a minimum of $20, and it takes so freaking long to do all this. Why can’t you just quickly tap to pay like other gas or electric stations?? This is why people hate electric car infrastructure. My grandma would’ve filled her gas car 3 times before I even made it halfway thru the steps required to function this goofy software. Absolutely ridiculous and a complete hassle.

Worst ever

Won’t let me create account and charge my rental EV because I don’t have an US phone number

Do not download

Need to go your profile to add an address, then have to go to a different page to manually add card info, gives an incorrect error that address is wrong, deletes your card info and you have to do it all again, for it not to work. Everything else sucks. Drove 10 minutes to a supercharge faster than it was to try to use this app.

SKIP DO NOT USE money gone

Scanned QR code at a Marriot hotel in Santa Clara to charge

You have to top up in $20 increments but the excess amount disappears after a few days
Cannot reach support
App does not display chargers on a map either

Highly suspicious!!

Worse Charging Service Ever!!!

I would give them zero star if I could. Wasted my time

Baffling Obtuse UI

You have to reload balances and Apple Pay is not an option. I had to enter my address to load the card and when I did it said “System Error Kindly Send To Admin” and then loaded the card anyway I guess?

Possibly the most poorly thought out thing I’ve ever seen

Anyone involved in this company, the app and the charger should be deeply ashamed of what they’ve done. Possibly the most infuriating and insultingly useless thing I’ve ever soon.

Scam likely

This is the most unhelpful and terrible app. Took my money but never actually got my car charging. Took $30 from me. As others say it’s a scam

Skip App & Company

Pulled up to their level 2 charger outside Hampton Inn. Using charger’s QR code downloaded this app. On the App’s map it couldn’t find the charger number! Used QR again and it realized it was theirs. I have a hybrid and wanted ~$5. They want a minimum of $20 in your account. I’m not likely to ever use them again. Tried to add the $20 but it tells you to add a card. Won’t just automatically take you to set it up. Try to add on another screen, but it won’t add because the profile is missing the address. Again, doesn’t transfer you to that screen. I gave up because the reviews were bad and this process and cost were ridiculous.

So horrible

Can’t set up a payment card in the app. At the station declining multiple cards. Thanks for wasting my time.

Awful

The app has a bug as it won’t allow you to sign up and has a connection failure error.

Do not use

App never works takes your money and does not charge the car

Don’t Do It

I added money to my wallet, followed all the steps to charge plugged it up and press start not even 20 seconds later it said charge was complete and it did not charge anything on my car. once I went to try and do it again none of the chargers worked at all. It is a waste of money and time.

User unfriendly app. $30 lost into EVOLVE account.

EVOLVE charged my credit card $30. Cable connected and failed to start charging on multiple occasions. No customer service although I’m sure there will be a response to this evaluation. The only accurate statement of “Plug, Charge, Go!” is the plug and the charge on my credit card.

Scam Artists

This company needs to get brought up on fraud and theft charges.
not only did they take $20 from my account as a first time user they also charged me $94.75 for 1.6 kW of power that took six minutes and then shut off

They have a horrible customer service system that doesn’t answer until you’ve called five or six times, they can’t even figure out which charging station I was at with my charging ID in the screenshot and all of the other information sent to them via their “support helpline”.

When I sent them all of the information, they informed me that the charger I was at did not exist, and that I had no account and therefore they could not help me or refund any of the money that they stole.

do not use this charging station. It is a complete rip off.
