Not customer friendly

Wish I read the reviews beforehand. Charges you more than it needs to, customer service hard to get a hold of and then ages to get reimbursed. Deleted and charging somewhere else now.

Very competitive price

I’ve been with BP for 3 years (CCS), recently need to charge and found the nearest one which is Roam, Roam is 26% cheaper!

Rubbish

Took holding payment twice and failed to initiate charge both times, borderline fraudulent imho

Useless

Downloaded the app tried to register and got the email confirmation link all I see is a spinning circle. Unusable app

Awful

App has completely stopped working and now I can’t charge my car at work.

Useless

App just doesn’t work - just ‘spins’ constantly - tried on WiFi and 5G - can’t charge my car!

Unable to charge

Won’t let me charge on Sundays, such a terrible experience

The app won’t load

Arrived at hotel and need to use the app. Downloaded ok but the app just won’t load. Rebooted iPhone, reinstalled app but still the same. WiFi signal excellent so I’ve run out of ideas.

Great app, easy to use

Easy to use and charge.

Absolute garbage

Don’t bother

Disappearing charge button

I’m having a problem with the app, lately. The charge button was right at the bottom of the screen, to begin with, but now that an add coupon button has been placed just above it, the charge button has moved completely off the bottom, with no way to scroll down. Can this be fixed or is there some way around it?

At least the app didn’t crash

My iPhone has a modestly small screen. The app seemed to expect something much bigger so entry fields were invisible during registration and when I tried to use it. Gave up and used credit card but no idea what the cost was

Unpleasant billing method

Multiple steps backward since joining evc. First prices went up by 20p a kWh just after the brand change. The latest is removal of Apple Pay. You can only use credit / debit cards registered directly and then they expect to hold £45 of your money to charge. Only found out this morning when I plugged in at work. With the above in mind I’m now using your competition across the road who are not much more expensive.

Rubbish

Constdd as belt advised that I was offline, wouldn’t allow me to create an account or continue as a guest. Utterly useless

Charging does not follow the FAQs guidance

For the most part, I did like my experience with the app. Quick to download, easy to connect and scan the charger.

First issue was that I got a warning that my charger has stopped because of an error. So after checking my car, which was charging and then looking back in notifications it had cleared.

Carried on charging at a reasonable rate and amount.

Second issue, they took £20 to charge as an authorisation fee. No problem with that as it’s better than BPs. However according to their FAQs section once the charge is completed the difference would be reimbursed or paid via my payment method, nothing wrong with that. However, they tried to take the entire payment out of my account instead of the difference, so I would have been £52 out of pocket instead of £32. And then there is no way to initiate a payment through there app to pay the balance. Because of obvious differences in transaction times they can’t guarantee a reimbursement of the £20 for up to 7 days.

Yet another charging app

Yet another charging app, but this one doesn’t even seem to work - just a white screen on loading meaning a failed charge and wasted time.

User Friendly great Map

Nice app that you can navigate through easily has a really cool Map feature. The setup process is simple and the charging activation is really straightforward

Recent update broken app

Used to work flawlessly- recent update, wasn’t showing the chargers in my location. Worked when tried via QR instead. App showed charging, BMW app shows charging, now app doesn’t show anything but BMW says the car is still charging! Poor and frustrating!

Response from developer

Thank you for flagging the issue with regards to the charging status and map features. We apologise for any inconvenience. Our development team has now addressed your concerns, and will be releasing a new update in the next 48 hours. Your feedback is crucial to us. Best, EVC Support.

Dreadful experience

App keeps logging you out and then didn’t recognise email for password reset so had to register with another email. Then very slow charging with a £45 pre authorisation. But most frustrating it wouldn’t disconnect from the charging point. I called and they tried to help but to no avail and then said they’d raise an emergency ticket to get help. That was over an hour ago and no one has called back. Eventually I had to reconnect and restart another session and then stop that one. Very poor indeed.
