Motor Fuel Group integrates Zap-Pay into ultra-rapid charging network
Drivers of electric vehicles in the UK now have a new way to pay for charging services across the company’s footprint with the mapping service.
Motor Fuel Group’s (MFG) electric vehicle (EV) Power ultra-rapid charging network has been integrated into Zap-Pay, a paying service for EV charging across networks from the mapping service Zap-Map. The company’s EV Power network, which has ultra-rapid charging devices throughout the United Kingdom, is now part of the Zap-Pay partner network.
The completed integration with MFG means that over 3,000 charging devices across the UK are currently Zap-Pay enabled. Zap-Map users can now pay for their EV charging as well as being able to search for charge points, plan longer journeys and share updates with other EV drivers.
“At MFG we are committed to making the charging experience as simple and seamless as possible. All our chargers are contactless card payment enabled and with the addition of Zap-Pay we are pleased to add more convenient payment methods for drivers, particularly as they mix and match across networks. We have an incredibly exciting pipeline of site openings for 2022 and look forward to adding those chargers to the Zap-Pay network,” said Ed Chadwick, Director of EV at MFG.
MFG currently operates a network of over 200 rapid and ultra-rapid charging devices at service stations across the UK. By 2030, the company is planning to invest around £400 million in 3,000 ultra-rapid 150kW and 350kW EV charging devices across its network.
“I’m delighted to see the MFG’s EV Power network come online with Zap-Pay. Not only is MFG a fantastic addition to the Zap-Pay partner network, but as a dynamic and expanding network with strategically placed ultra-rapid charge points, one that will make charging EVs that much easier for Zap-Map users. With Zap-Pay usage already increasing, we’re expecting to see this trend accelerate now that MFG’s EV Power is live on Zap-Pay,” added Alex Earl, Commercial Director at Zap-Map.
