Key takeaways:
- Live Price Display: Zapmap has introduced live pricing data directly onto map markers, allowing EV drivers to see the cost per kWh at a glance.
- Smart Price Filtering: Our price filter allows users to set a maximum budget per kWh, automatically hiding chargers that exceed their preferred price range.
- Enhanced Transparency: The update aims to provide real-time cost clarity for near home, en-route, and destination charging.
At Zapmap, we’re always looking for ways to help EV drivers find and pay for charging with confidence. We know that as the charging landscape evolves, having clear, up-to-date information is key to planning your journeys with peace of mind.
That’s why this month, we’ve introduced a significant update to our map. By bringing live pricing data directly into your map view, we’re helping you see charging costs at a glance, before you choose your charger.
Live prices on map markers: To save you from tapping through multiple pins to compare rates, you can see the current price per kWh displayed directly on the map markers as you browse the map.
Price filter: And you can combine this with our price filter, which allows you to set a maximum price per kWh and only shows you chargers within your budget. This helps you quickly identify the chargers that align with your preferences for each journey.
We know energy prices can change, and we want to remove the guesswork from your charging routine. This update isn't just about finding the lowest cost, it’s about providing the clarity you need to make an informed choice.
By putting live rates front-and-centre, we’re aiming to reduce the friction of manual searching and give you a more predictable experience. Whether you’re charging near home or en-route, or at your destination, we want the cost of your charge to be as clear as the directions on your screen.
These new features are now available to all Zapmap users. To see the live pricing and try out the new filter, simply ensure your app is updated to the latest version via the App Store or Google Play.
