We are the UK’s leading app and digital platform for EV drivers to search for available charge points, plan longer electric journeys, pay for charging and share updates with other EV drivers.

A purpose-led company, Zap-Map’s mission is to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles and help the drive towards zero carbon mobility.

Zap-Map attracts more than 250,000 UK users per month from a rapidly growing fleet of over 620,000 battery-electric EVs (SMMT: November 2022). As the go-to data source for the industry, check Zap-Map for the latest statistics, as well as news, info and tools for current and prospective EV drivers.

The engaged Zap-Map community add daily status and info updates to charging points, and can make their home and work charge points available to other EV drivers as part of the peer-to-peer Zap-Home and Zap-Work network.
