Explore features and benefits of mobile apps that complement EV charging, such as finding nearby charging stations, monitoring charging sessions, and making payments.
Transforming the EV Charging Experience
Mobile apps are transforming how electric vehicle (EV) owners interact with charging infrastructure. Platforms like Exploren offer seamless solutions for locating charging stations, initiating charging sessions, and simplifying payments. By streamlining these processes, EV apps are significantly enhancing the overall charging experience, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
With Exploren, users can effortlessly locate the nearest available charging station, check real-time availability, reserve their spot, and view the price per kWh – all from the convenience of their smartphones. This seamless access to key information is making EV ownership more practical and convenient, encouraging the switch to electric vehicles.
Features and Benefits
Mobile apps like Exploren are packed with features that significantly enhance the EV charging experience. Users can receive real-time updates on charging station availability, with colour-coded tags indicating whether stations are available, busy, or in need of repairs. Being able to monitor charging sessions remotely adds convenience, allowing users to leave their car charging while shopping or running errands, check their charging status at any time, and review their charging history. Unlike an RFID card, which only facilitates payment, the mobile app provides real-time updates, charging history, and station availability, making it a far more versatile and convenient tool for managing EV charging. Seamless payment processing is made even easier through the Exploren app by topping up your balance or using an Exploren RFID card, which can be purchased directly from the website. Additionally, Exploren offers detailed information on charging costs, helping users manage their expenses more effectively. By providing these comprehensive features, EV charging apps are making electric vehicle ownership more convenient and accessible, driving the shift toward sustainable transportation.
Seamless Payment and Cost Management
Exploren has streamlined the charging process, making it easier than ever to find and pay for charging stations. The app displays the price per kWh for each charger, allowing users to quickly locate the nearest and most affordable option. Payment is simple, with the ability to use a balance that can be easily topped up within the app or through a pre-purchased RFID card.
Optimising Route Planning and Efficiency
Finding a charger is also hassle-free, as the app provides a map view of all available stations, allowing users to select the best option. The app will then automatically open your preferred choice of google/apple maps and direct you to the location – making the entire charging experience more convenient and efficient.
Future Innovation in EV Charging Apps
The future of EV charging apps is set to revolutionise the way electric vehicle owners interact with charging infrastructure. One of the most exciting development will be the incorporation of advanced predictive analytics, allows apps to forecast charging station availability based on real-time data, historical usage patterns, and traffic conditions. This will enable users to plan their charging sessions more efficiently, reduce wait times and improving overall convenience.
Automated charging solutions are also on the horizon, with innovations like wireless charging pads that require minimal user interaction. These technologies will eliminate the need for physical cables and connectors, making the charging process faster, safer and more convenient.
As EV technology continues to evolve, apps will likely incorporate more robust features, such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, enabling EVs to supply energy back to the grid when needed, turning them into mobile energy assets. Additionally, in the future we will be able to tie the cost of charging to the wholesale energy market, rewarding drivers for charging during periods of low demand.
These innovations will play a key role in influencing future EV ownership and enhancing the user experience, while also promoting a cleaner, more sustainable future.
