Charging an EV is easier than filling a car with petrol.

We can now just plug in and walk away. Payment is all automatic. Takes ten seconds of my time.

We’ve always been able to do this with Tesla superchargers and with any home charger or power point. But third party fast chargers that require payment have required using an app or tapping a card to start charging.

But now, Evie Networks has listened to customers and enabled “auto charge”. We can just park, plug in and walk away. The charging station recognises our car, and knows our payment details.

To enable auto charge, we had to do one manual charge, and verify who we are, as you can see in the screenshots.

We were in Yara Junction for a walk along the Lilydale Warburton rail trail, and brunch at Nancy's of the Valley. Great day out. Having the option to return to a fully fuelled car is a bonus!
