EVPlug is the easy way to charge your electric car in South Africa. FIND A CHARGER See EVPlug fast chargers and thousands of other public charging points on one map. Search by town, place or operator, and check plug types and speeds before you drive there. START FROM YOUR PHONE Scan the QR sticker on the charger, or pick it from the map, and the app walks you through one step at a time: pick your gun, plug in, choose how to pay, go. The app sees the moment your car is connected and moves on by itself. WATCH IT LIVE Kilowatts, kilowatt-hours and the cost in rand tick in real time while you charge. Set a spend limit and the session stops itself when it gets there. You can close the app and carry on with your day - we send a notification the moment your charge is done. PAY YOUR WAY Pay per charge with a saved card, or keep a wallet balance and skip card holds entirely. The price per kWh is shown before you start, any hold is explained in plain words, and every session ends with a clear receipt. Prefer a tag? Link an EVPlug RFID card and tap the charger to start. BUILT FOR SOUTH AFRICA Rand pricing, live charger status, and receipts that make sense to your accountant. Charging your car should be as simple as parking it. EVPlug makes it that simple.
