Anyone who drives an electric car needs this app

What could be easier than plugging the new electric car into the charge, one should think. But chaos reigns in the jungle of charging stations and providers – until now. Because the Elvah app is about to finally make charging e-cars really easier.

E-car revolution: Elvah app makes charging easy

There are a few things to consider before buying an e-car. This also includes how the charging situation is in the area. Because up to now, the following applies: not every e-car can be charged at every charging station. That changes with the Elvah app.

Tesla still has its own charging network, plus energy providers such as EnBW or Eon, local utilities are often also responsible, and German car manufacturers often have their own partner program including charging cards and special conditions. Alles that brings the Elvah app together – according to own statements as the first provider ever (source: Business Insider). But one is also relying on previous cross-provider projects.

Over 150,000 charging options should be integrated, in addition to Germany also in Austria and Switzerland. Customers can not only access a large selection of local, national and supranational providers via an app and recharge their batteries there. A map overview is also integrated, which contains information on the utilization of the charging stations and any defects.

For electric car drivers, Elvah simply belongs on the cell phone. You can find out which apps you should also install in the Video:

Many charging providers combined in one app

In addition to the undeniable advantage of being able to use many charging stations from different providers, the flat rate offer primarily has advantages for frequent drivers: With the Elvah app, customers pay a fixed monthly price depending on the respective electric car model. There is then as much electricity as you need. Alternatively, a flex tariff is offered, which includes 25 kilowatt hours for 9 euros per month. According to Business Insider, for example, you pay 129 euros per month for a flat rate with a BMW i3 or 199 euros for a Tesla Model S. Very customer-friendly: the tariffs can be canceled monthly.

Elvah is a real alternative for those who have not installed a wallbox at home. But even those who don’t pay membership can at least do that Use the app’s overview map and find out about nearby charging stations.
