&Charge is delighted to report a significant expansion of its partnership with MAINGAU Autostrom, marking a new chapter in their collaborative journey. With this enhanced cooperation, users of the MAINGAU Autostrom app can now effortlessly engage in the unique “&Charge Challenges” directly through the app. This integration enables users to earn “&Charge kilometers” for every completed challenge, which can be redeemed for complimentary charging sessions. Challenges range from evaluating the condition of charging points to sharing photos and providing essential details about charging locations.
&Charge’s partnership with MAINGAU Autostrom began in 2020, and it has been a story of mutual growth and shared visions. MAINGAU Autostrom customers enjoy the exclusive benefit of receiving 300 &Charge kilometers upon signing up for a MAINGAU electricity or gas contract, further bridging the gap between energy consumption and e-Mobility. In turn, the MAINGAU Autostrom app benefits from the wealth of charging station images contributed by the vibrant &Charge community, enriching the app’s data and user experience.
Simon Vogt, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of &Charge, reflects on the journey, stating, “Looking back on four years of successful collaboration, we are more excited than ever to deepen our partnership with MAINGAU. This milestone not only boosts &Charge’s visibility within the MAINGAU charging app but also introduces an innovative feature that enriches the user experience. It emphasizes our shared commitment to simplifying, enhancing, and energizing the electric mobility landscape.”
Richard Schmitz, Managing Director of MAINGAU, added: “By integrating &Charge into the MAINGAU Autostrom app, we are creating an additional incentive for our users to share their experiences at charging stations and benefit from rewards at the same time. With direct user feedback, we can improve the data basis of our app and thus optimize the charging experience for customers.”
&Charge stands as a pioneer in gathering real-time insights at charging stations, leveraging their cutting-edge app and a crowd-sourced approach of over 70,000 e-Mobilists to create unparalleled value for the e-Mobility ecosystem. The &Charge platform, bolstered by the participation of more than 1,500 online stores, allows users to collect &Charge kilometers through a variety of actions, including feedback on charging experiences and online shopping.
Since its inception in 2019, &Charge has become a key player in the e-Mobility sector across 14 European markets, partnering with leading providers of charging solutions and charging station operators. The collaboration with MAINGAU Autostrom not only exemplifies our dedication to enhancing the e-Mobility experience but also signals our ambition to further enrich and expand our services in the future.
