JustCharge, the community electric vehicle (EV) charging network from JustPark, has gone live with a new partnership with Zap-Map.
The partnership offers Zap-Map users the ability to find and book JustCharge chargers directly through the Zap-Map app.
The partnership goes live as new data from Zap-Map’s annual survey of more than 4,300 EV drivers has revealed that 20% would be prepared to share their home charger with other EV drivers.
Ben Lane, co-founder and chief technical officer (CTO) at Zap-Map, said: “Although the public charging network is expanding rapidly, there is a real need for community charging closer to home, providing a viable option for those without a driveway to charge an EV.
“The good news is that we know that a fifth of EV drivers are prepared to share their home charger with others, and that’s what makes this new partnership with JustCharge so exciting.
“Working together, we can give Zap-Map users even greater choice in finding a suitable local charger, creating an additional source of household income for those with home charging points, and providing real benefit to the local community.”
An increasing number of EV drivers are utilising ultra-rapid chargers for en route charging, according to analysis by Zap-Map and TLT.
From the partnership, 1,600 bookable JustCharge locations are available on Zap-Map.
With 62% of Brits citing concern over charging infrastructure as a barrier to buying an EV, the partnership offers a solution for the 40% of UK drivers unable to charge at home, Zap-Map said.
JustCharge hosts can also bring generate additional household income, helping to offset the costs of buying an (EV).
The companies will work together to encourage EV drivers to become JustCharge hosts in future, Zap-Map said.
Charging spaces will also be visible to drivers who use JustPark for EV parking.
