EV charging network Be.EV is now compatible with payment service Zap-Pay.
Be.EV operates more than 700 chargers at around 180 locations across England and Wales, mainly in and around Greater Manchester. It plans to have more than 1,000 chargers by the end of this year.
Other networks compatible with Zap-Pay include Osprey, ESB Energy, Char.gy, GeniePoint, Mer, MFG EV Power, Fastned, Alfa Power, Connected Kerb, Evyve, Charge My Street, Applegreen Electric, and FOR EV.
Matt Lloyd, head of CPO Networks at Zapmap, which owns Zap-Pay, said: “With Be.EV’s community-first charging network now live on Zap-Pay, today’s announcement represents a significant step forward for convenient and reliable charging for electric car drivers in Greater Manchester, as well as further afield in England and Wales.
“I’m thrilled that Be.EV is now live on our cross-network payment solution, and I’m sure many Zapmap users up and down the country will be too. The operator is an important addition to our growing payment network.”
Be.EV CEO and co-founder Asif Ghafoor said: “Communities across the UK deserve to have simple and ultra-rapid charging in the most convenient places possible. That’s why we’re happy to give Zap-Pay customers access to our network.
“We pride ourselves on making charging as smooth as possible. This integration makes the Be.EV charging experience even more seamless, as EV drivers can now locate and pay for a Be.EV charger without leaving the Zapmap app.
“Zap-Pay is trusted by EV drivers across the UK, and we’re pleased it’s committed to expanding its customers’ access to rapid and ultra-rapid charging across the North West and beyond.”
