UK rapid and ultra-rapid public charging network Osprey Charging Network has announced the launch of Osprey Go to offer Autocharge technology.
Osprey Go will allows drivers to plug in and walk away, with charging starting automatically and the best
available price for that location and time applied without the need to tap a card or open the app.
It has been developed in-house via Osprey Iris, the company’s proprietary software platform, with its in-house team of developers and product specialists trialled the feature extensively with a beta testing group of real drivers ahead of its wider rollout to all app users.
The launch is underpinned by dynamic pricing, which Osprey is extending across its network this month as part of Osprey Go. Customers who charge outside peak periods benefit from lower rates for the same ultra-rapid charging experience.
Olly Cooper, CTO of Osprey, said:
“Osprey Go is a significant improvement to the EV customer experience”, said “I’m proud that the team have developed and delivered this capability in-house – both the automatic start-charge and the off-peak pricing.
“We took Autocharge and we made it Osprey: building a simple set-up flow, testing it thoroughly, and offering the functionality to the widest range of drivers.
“This is the innovation and openness that has always been core to Osprey, and why we brought software
in house in the first place with Osprey Iris.”
