FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:

UK-wide charging point map
The Zap-Map electric car charging app offers a UK-wide charging point map currently showing over 17,000 charging locations and more than 47,000 connectors. Clicking on the menu (fig 1.1), gives users the option to search UK charge points, filter chargers, or plan a route. In addition to the map view, there is also a list view, accessible from the navigation bar.

Use filters to identify suitable charge points
Zap-Map app users can filter map results by any combination of charge point type (slow, fast, and rapid), connectors, location type, payment and access type. To do this users simply click on the filter icon on map or list. Default is all chargers; select options to filter then click ‘Apply’ button.

Plan a route using the smart Route Planner
Use the route planner to plan suitable charge stops on your electric journey. Default to the standard settings for a ‘quick plan’ or adjust driver and charger search options to create a customised route plan.

View charge point info including dynamic network status data on Zap-Map
Dynamic network data is available for most of the major networks. A blue outline on the marker indicates that the charge device is in use whilst a red outline shows that all devices at a charging location are out of service.

Update charge points using Zap-Chat community feature
Users can log a successful charge, update charge point status, indicate the location is ICEd, and add photos & last mile info for other EV drivers. This complements, where available, the dynamic live data. Users must be registered to post, but Zap-Chats can be seen by all. To add a Zap-Chat users simply click the bubble on the charge point info box, on the bottom nav or main menu. Users can also add general chat or questions to the cafe area.
