Chargemap app: 3 new features to make charging easier this summer

You spot a charging point on the map, somewhere between two motorways. No photos, no recent reviews. Is it working? Is it accessible? Hard to tell. We know that feeling well, and it’s exactly what this update is designed to fix.

Available now on iOS and Android, here’s what’s changing in the Chargemap app.

1. A better-organised Reviews tab to find what you need straight away

Until now, in the Chargemap app, recent charges, ratings and reports were all mixed together in the Reviews tab of a charging point’s page. Finding specific information meant a bit of digging. That’s no longer the case. The three types of information are now clearly separated:

• Recent recharges: the latest sessions recorded at this charging point with the Chargemap Pass, including the status (successful or not), the connector used, and the EV model if provided.
• User reviews: 5-star ratings left by the Chargemap community.
• Reports: issues flagged by drivers (charging point out of order, etc.).

💡 At a glance, you can see whether the charging point has been used recently, what its rating is, and whether any issue has been reported. No more digging around.

2. A “Give my opinion” button that adapts to your situation

You’ll now find a “Give my opinion” button in every Reviews and reports menu in the app. Handy, but what really changes is how it behaves. By default, it opens the reporting flow. But if a recent charge is detected at that charging point with your Chargemap Pass, it takes you straight to the charge rating screen.

💡 Every review you leave improves the data quality for drivers coming after you. That’s what makes the Chargemap community so valuable.

3. “Last charging session yesterday”: the small detail that changes everything

Directly visible in the preview of the charging point’s page, an indicator now shows how long ago the last charge was recorded: “Last charging session yesterday”, for example.

💡 One quick look is all you need to feel reassured, or to start looking for an alternative. A simple piece of information, but one that makes a real difference when you’re on the road and don’t know the charging point.

These three updates all point in the same direction: giving you the right information at the right time, so you can charge with confidence wherever you are this summer.
