App Profile: Co Charger

Co Charger is closing the gap in electric vehicle charging infrastructure by making use of the infrastructure that is already in place.

In contrast to destination charging applications that serve existing electric vehicle (EV) drivers, we are here to support the millions of drivers who want to switch to EVs but have no way of charging them at home. Our community-based solution, backed by this simple app, empowers those who want to drive an EV to confidently make the decision to switch.

• If you want to switch to an EV, or already have one, but cannot charge it at home, use the Co Charger app to find a nearby host. The app will let you book regular, reliable charge sessions to make your EV ownership more practical and affordable.

• If you already have a charge point at your home, you can become a Host and rent it to your neighbours, helping to make your neighbourhood cleaner and greener. (You’ll also make some money from your charger while you’re not using it.)

The app ensures hosts have control over bookings, pricing and timing, while chargees can feel secure in the knowledge that they have a reliable, affordable and convenient means to charge their car while they are at home. Key features:

• Manages simple host and chargee profiles, enabling chargees to find and contact hosts securely.
• Manages bookings and reminders – as one-offs or regular sessions.
• Works out payments without the need for interaction with the charger.
• Payments handled automatically after each session through a highly secure payments system.
