We have established unique "plug and play" value-added services in the global E-Mobility ecosystem, available on the &Charge Value Platform via flexible APIs or partner dashboard. &Charge’s smart reward mechanism based on the first sustainable loyalty scheme by which users collect &Charge kilometers for their activities which can be redeemed for free charging sessions, fuels the huge &Charge EV driver crowd and it’s strong daily engagement for crowd-sourced data around EV charging. The corresponding &Charge app is the dedicated daily companion for EV drivers and impresses with a special gamification approach by which users also can reach special level and receive batches for their engagement. For EV drivers &Charge makes charging cheaper, more reliable and just fun. So, EV drivers can collect more kilometers in more than 1,500 online shops. For Charge Point Operators (CPO), &Charge’s services increase the uptime, the user experience and decrease the cost of operations: Every EV driver can provide feedback on single charging sessions and the experienced &Charge EV driver crowd performs detailed visual inspections and assessments of the charging infrastructure. This real-time feedback on findings and experiences can be easily integrated into daily CPO operations.
