Electromaps: Charging stations

Electromaps was a super valuable resource for a recent trip when I rented an EV! So many charging networks require a European mailing address, phone number, or credit card, but Electromaps was very widely supported as an alternative payment method, and worked great at almost every charging station we encountered.

After trying and banging my head against the wall downloading and setting up ev charging apps in Spain this was a life saver. My only complaint is that I would make the charger information more easy to access and read. Also the window blocks the map when driving. Should be easier to exit after looking for chargers.

On a recent trip to France I was able to recharge my car using this app. I had also purchased the RFID key but in this case I didn’t need to use it. My complaint is with the surcharge they added. According to the fee schedule posted at the charging point, Ekectromaps was essentially doubling the rate. As an occasional thing this is ok, but I would not want to pay these rates on a regular basis. I had assumed the markup would be significantly less than it was. So this would be five stars except

these work with credit cards and you don’t need to get the subscription. You can pay as you go. There are a lot of them in Meaux. I wish there were more, particularly Montry or Esbly. Maybe next year.
