Frequently Asked Questions

View all Autocharge related help centre articles here.

How does Autocharge work?

Autocharge is like magic (kind of)! It uses the unique MAC address of your vehicle to identify it and once recognised, starts the charge automatically on most of our network.

What does that mean in plain speech? Well, once you’ve set Autocharge up in the Evie App for a compatible vehicle, you can say goodbye to the hassle of starting a charge from the app most of the time! All you’ll have to do is plug in, and the charge will start.

Is Autocharge secure?

Here at Evie, we guard your details with care. We will always ask your permission before we use an identifier like your MAC Address. We also use a one-way hash to de-identify your MAC Address from our backend, so you car’s full MAC address is not sent to or stored by Evie, giving you full piece of mind.

Is my vehicle compatible with Autocharge?

To check whether your vehicle is compatible, add your vehicle in the App Profile tab and we’ll let you know if it’s eligible for Autocharge. Unfortunately, some vehicles are not compatible because they use CHAdeMO or a different MAC address each time you charge. Vehicles that are incompatible include Mazda and Volkswagon Group including VW, Seat, Cupra, Skoda, as well as BMW i7.

If your vehicle is incompatible with Autocharge, not to worry! You can still start a charge with Evie using the App or Evie Pass RFID card.

Is Autocharge available across all Evie chargers?

Autocharge is available on the majority of Evie chargers, but there are some chargers that do not offer Autocharge. Chargers that are incompatible with Autocharge are indicated in the map view within the Evie app. View the list of incompatible Autocharge chargers here.

Can I use Paypal/Apple Pay when setting up Autocharge?

Unfortunately Paypal and Apple Pay are not supported for Autocharge. You will need to set your payment method to a debit or credit card.

What if I have an Evie public charging voucher?

If you have a voucher, the full value of the voucher will be applied to your charge session first before your debit or credit card is charged.

Can I deactivate Autocharge?

Yes, you can deactivate Autocharge for your vehicle via the App Profile tab. You may want to do this if you’ve temporarily lent your car to someone else or if you sell your car.

Can I set up Autocharge for more than 1 vehicle?

No, Autocharge can only be set up on 1 vehicle in your account. If you use another vehicle from time to time, you can still start a charge for that vehicle via the Evie App or Evie Pass.
