UK’s investor-operators of public electric vehicle (EV) charging Zest has announced a new partnership with Octopus Electroverse.
The deal will see the chargepoint operator join one of Europe’s largest consumer EV charging platforms, with the integration bringing all of Zest’s public charge points into the Electroverse app.
According to Zest it will give “both public and fleet drivers a seamless way to start, stop, and pay for charging sessions”.
Users of the platform have access to more than one million public chargers across the world, which is growing by around 500 chargers every day, it said.
Electroverse customers can locate available stations in real time, filter by speed or connector type, and unlock money-saving discounts. The app is free of charge and available for download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Zest’s expanding network is “designed to support real-world charging needs”, the company said, with a “special focus on making charging easy where drivers live, work and travel”.
Robin Heap, CEO at Zest, said:
“Joining forces with Octopus Electroverse helps unlock even more convenience for EV drivers. Whether you’re driving for work or heading out for the weekend, you can now charge at any Zest site with a tap in the Electroverse app.
“Zest offers a reliable service at great prices, but we never forget that drivers have a choice. This partnership makes the Zest experience even better for Electroverse users.”
