Z launches pay-as-you-go EV charging

Z Energy (Z) now has pay-as-you-go available across its EV charging network.

Pay-as-you-go is a new feature on Z’s EV Charging App, which previously required customers to have money in their accounts before charging. Instead, they can now select the charge point they want to use and authorise the charger to start, having their credit card billed at the end.

“We’re really pleased we’ve been able to upgrade our systems to make it easier for EV customers,” says Z’s EV charging head Kieran Turner.

“We want to support our customers who are switching to low carbon transport alternatives and make it as easy to charge on-the-go as it is to fuel up today”.

Z is rolling out a network of EV chargers at Z service stations across the country, intending to have EV charging available across 20% of the network by the end of 2023.

“We’re working at pace and prioritising speed to market as we roll out our EV charging network,” says Turner adding that Z is listening to customers and thinking about how to make the next site better.

“We will be continuing to make improvements along the way to enhance the customer experience.”

Z’s aim within its network is to have mostly ultra-fast EV chargers across its sites, with a minimum 150kW, along with multiple bays available to help minimise queuing.

EV charging sites at Z service stations are in all major centres and along main highways.
