FAQs
Simply download the GRIDSERVE app from the Apple Store or Google Play and register your account details. You’ll need to provide your name, email address and a valid payment card that will need to be verified, but then you’ll be able to charge your vehicle anywhere on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway in just a few taps of your phone.
Yes. You can add multiple payment cards into your wallet, regardless of whether you have downloaded the Apple or Google version of the GRIDSERVE app.
The GRIDSERVE app works separately to your car’s infotainment system. For navigation requests, however, the coordinates for any of our EV charging locations can be shared via Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. This means that if you have smartphone mirroring (Apple CarPlay or Android Auto) available on your car, you can use the car’s infotainment screen to navigate to your preferred EV charger.
As we mentioned above, you’re not actually tied into any carmaker’s ecosystem as the GRIDSERVE app is its own thing. That’s great because it means it works with whatever car you’re driving. With smartphone mirroring (Apple CarPlay or Android Auto), however, you can use the car’s infotainment screen to navigate to your preferred EV charging location via Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze.
Your last 12 EV charging sessions will also be documented within your ‘charging activity’ folder so you can see when and where you charged and how much it cost. Receipts will be automatically emailed to you after every EV charging session, so don’t worry about having to download receipts.
Autocharge allows to you to start a charge automatically the moment you plug in. No app navigation, no tapping cards. One setup, then it just works. To find out if your car supports this feature, check out our compatibility checker here.
They are similar but there is a difference between the two. Plug and Charge takes the Just Plug In experience further and has wider adoption in the automotive industry. As manufacturers roll the Plug & Charge ISO 15118 standard, more drivers will be able to start and pay for charging automatically.
We’re preparing the network for this upgrade, so you benefit from this feature.
